_Bhrigu_ -- is the Dweller of Mahar Loka, or the Archetypal plane. Upon
the Pralaya of Triloki, the essence of that triple plane and its Karma
become embedded in Mahar Loka. The creative process sets in again in
strict conformity to the Karma of the past. Bhrigu is therefore father
of:
_Dhata_ -- or Universal Karma
_Vidhata_ -- or Individual Karma, and
_Sri_ or _Lakshmi_ -- the wife of Vishnu, the Energy of Preservation.
_Ayati_ -- or potency is the wife of Dhata, Mrikandu and Markandeya, are
in this line.
_Niyati_ -- or fate, is the wife of Vidhata. Prana and Vedasiras are in
this line.
_Kavi_ -- is another son of Bhrigu and _Usanas_ or _Sukra_ is Kavi's
son. But according to some authorities Kavi is the same as Usanas. It is
a matter for reflection how Sukra or the presiding Rishi of the planet
Venus is connected with Mahar Loka or the trans-personal plane. Mahar
Loka is the first approach to universality and therefore may correspond
to Higher Manas. However that be, Venus corresponds to the first plane
of universality.
The consideration of Tables C to K has proved to be an interesting one.
But readers are requested to remember that this is a mere study by an
inquiring student and they are left to think for themselves. I might
have dwelt at some length on this portion of the subject, but that would
be going beyond the scope of the present work.
Briefly speaking then,
_Marichi_ -- is Monadic ray or Atma-Buddhi,
_Atri_ -- is the adjustment of the creative, preservative and
destructive tendencies in a Jiva,
_Angiras_ -- is the Essence of Creation, the auric repository of the
Jiva,
_Pulastya_ -- is Kamic Intelligence,
_Pulaha_ -- is higher Kamic Intelligence, or it may be Pranic also,
_Kratu_ -- is lower Manasic Intelligence,
_Vasishtha_ -- is Higher Manasic Intelligence.
