Out of the water was born Hiranyagarbha and out of Hiranyagarbha emerged Bramanda split into two; one became the sky and the other the earth. The Lord then began his creation, and Brahma was born from the lotus of the Lord’s navel. He entrusted Brahmaji with the task of creating both animate and inanimate beings. Brahma, out of his Manas, created the seven sages known as ‘Manasa Putras.’ Atri Rishi was one of those seven sons of Brahmaji.</p>
