देवानां पूर्व्ये युगेऽसतः सदजायत ॥२॥ देवानां युगे प्रथमेऽसतः सदजायत । तदाशा अन्वजायन्त तदुत्तानपदस्परि ॥३॥ (Rig.

Meaning : The Srishtikarta created the Cosmos like the carpenter, much before the Devas and Sat appeared from Asat.

devānāṃ pūrvye yuge'sataḥ sadajāyata ॥2॥ devānāṃ yuge prathame'sataḥ sadajāyata । tadāśā anvajāyanta taduttānapadaspari ॥3॥ (Rig. Veda. 10.72.2 and 3)

Paramapurusha's influence over the creation spread like the rays of the sun in all directions.  Then the karma and action and the resultant reaction along with the living entities appeared. The world, which was made of [[Panchabhutas (पञ्चभूत)|पञ्चभूत || panchabhutas]] (five elements) appeared along with the material things. But is there not someone who can understand this sristi and sthiti as it is? Only the श्रुति || Srutis can reveal the secrets of Creation to us. Even the greatly knowledgeable devatas are not beyond this creation, so how can they explain beyond their own creation? Only the Paramapurusha, the Creator who is also the Sustainer of this Universe can be the cause of such phenomenal creation.<ref name=":1" />   

Meaning : The सृष्तिकर्ता ॥ Srishtikarta created the Cosmos like the carpenter, much before the Devas and Sat appeared from Asat.  

Paramatma is one, and the विश्वम् || Universe (Cosmos) is His manifested greatness.  Sristi is in one sense Asat or a formless seamless expansion of space and Sat or causal forms. Thus the main components of Srishti are Life or Consciousness and conscious beings. When the transformation from Asat to Sat takes place, Sristi or Creation is said to happen, while the opposite of this, which is transformation of Sat to Asat is called Vinasha or Destruction. An indepth knowledge of "Brahma's day and night" and the division of Kalpas and Yugas will unfold the calculation of the time elapsed since the creation of the Universe. This seems like Ananta Kala or infinite number of years have passed. The Kala chakra or time cycles are explained in Jyotisha sastra in the Panchanga.

=== सृष्टिकारणम् || Cause of Creation ===

=== सृष्टिकारणम् || Cause of Creation ===

Paramapurusha initiated Creation with a definite cause or reason.  The purpose of creation is to bring about order or harmony wherein through the process of transformation disarrayed expanse is brought to a stable structure. Paramatma’s karuna (compassion) and Swatantra sankalpa are the causes for this creation. The Paramapurusha remains unaffected and accompanied by श्री || Sri (Shakti) is always resplendent in a constant state of existence.   His दृढ संकल्प || drudha sankalpa (determination) is the symbol of Semen, the Seed of Creation. Paramapurusha is the अश्रयभुत || ashrayabhuta the shelter for the existence of Srishti. Paramapurusha, the illumine form, resources His abundant energy in the process of Creation, thus He becomes the original cause and is completely independent.<ref name=":1" />
