GENERAL REMARKS ON THE TABLES.

These Tables must not be mistaken for human genealogies. The reader will have to carry himself in imagination to a time when there was a vast sheet of nebulous ma.s.s, when the globes and planets had not been formed, and the phenomena now known as day, night, year, month and season were still unknown.

The process known as Pralaya had absorbed the life energies of Triloki, which remained latent in that intermediate plane between the higher and the lower Lokas known as Mahar Loka. When the creative process set in, and the ground was prepared for the manifestation of life, life energies streamed forth from the Mahar Loka, more as types than as individuals.

These types are called Praj.a.patis or the Lords of life kingdoms. They carry back to Triloki all the life energies of the previous Kalpa. At Pralaya, they draw back unto themselves all the life energies of the dying Triloki, and take a lasting sleep in the archetypal plane ( Mahar Loka ) to which they properly belong. The Praj.a.patis of the First Manvantara become the Rishis of other Manvantaras. As the first Lords of creation bring back the life energies as well as the lost experiences of the previous Kalpa, so the Rishis bring back the lost knowledge of each Manvantara. This is fully explained in the fourteenth Chapter of the Eighth Skandha. The k.u.mars are not Praj.a.patis, as they come from a plane higher than Mahar Loka. In the first Manvantara, Marichi, Atri Angirasa, Pulastya, Pulaha, Kratu, Bhrigu, Vasistha, Daksha, and Narada are mentioned as the chief Praj.a.patis. Of these, Narada is not strictly speaking a Praj.a.pati, or Lord of creation, as he took no part in the work of creation, though he is called so having proceeded from Mahar Loka. Kardama, Ruchi and Visvakarma are some of the other Praj.a.patis.

Of the Praj.a.patis, seven form distinct types by themselves. They preside over the seven stars, which form the constellation of Great Bear. They send forth their energies from the plane of the Seven Sages, and guide the course of life evolution that takes place in Triloki. The sages are relieved every Manvantara by others who take up their place. The seven sages of our Manvantara, are different from the Praj.a.patis of the first Manvantara. It is by great sacrifices and by great efforts that the highest Rishis of a Manvantara attain the position of the Seven Sages.

The Sages may become Praj.a.patis, and Praj.a.patis may become k.u.maras. And men may become sages, if they follow the true path. The grades that divide men from sages or Rishis proper are many, and human evolution proceeds on the line of those grades.

Energies of another kind proceeded from Mahar Loka, energies known as Devas and Asuras. They work out, or rather they are intimately connected with, the tendency of life-evolution. There is a tendency in the Spiritual Jiva to acquire experience of the lower planes, through senses which they develop. The Asuras are connected with this tendency. There is the opposite tendency in the Jiva to get rid of the material taint and the material restriction earned in the efforts to acquire manifold experiences and to gain back the original state of purity after the acquisition of fresh spiritual treasures though the experiences of matter. The Devas are connected with this tendency.

These are the forms of life which then come into existence and work out their evolution in this Triloki.

Life evolution proceeds on two different lines - that of globes and that of individuals. They are represented by the two sons of Manu - Priyavrata and Uttanapada.
