Significance of the path (p. 39) of the dancing heroines’ leading into the body of (p. 40) Tlalte-cuhtli (the earth-monster) : this would imply their descending into a subterranean kiva in order to give birth : the red death-goddess’s parturition (p. 40) may imply that their progeny were slain at birth (perhaps by abortion : actresses, such as the women were, are often not permitted to produce any living children).

There were 7 human Brahmā-s :-

Mahabharata, Santi-parva, CCCXLIX.

Mahābhārata, śānti parva (chapters 348, 349)

   

In Brahma's birth 1666 trillion and 240 billion years previous to the birth of our present day Brahma and before the Brahma manifesting from Vishnu's eyes, Brahma then appeared from the mind of Vishnu. Those rishis that subsist only upon the froth of water obtained the supreme science of the Bhagavad-Gita from Vishnu. These same rishis then gave it to those rishis who are known as Vaikanasas and from them Soma the moon-god received it. After this knowledge of the supreme science of the Bhagavad-Gita disappeared from this world.

1. Mukhya –From mukha (mouth) of Nārāyaņa) or main Brahmā-He taught Vaikhānasa.

In Brahma's birth 1355 trillion and 200 billion years previous to the birth of our present day Brahma ..., Brahma then appeared from the eyes of Vishnu. At that time Brahma learned the supreme science ... from Soma the moon god. Having received it Brahma then imparted this supreme science to Shiva who subsequently communicated it to all those rishis who are known by the name of Valikhilyas.

2. From eyes-He was taught by Soma and himself taught Bālakhilyas.

In Brahma's birth 1044 trillion and 160 billion years previous to the birth of our present day Brahma ..., Brahma then appeared from the speech of Vishnu. The supreme science of the Bhagavad-Gita again manifested itself as well. At that time a rishi named Suparna received it from him. Suparna would recite the supreme science of the Bhagavad-Gita during the three sandhyas everyday. Knowledge of this supreme science is referred to in the Rig Veda. From the sage Suparna it was obtained by Vayu the wind god who communicated it to those rishis who subsist upon what remains from sacrificial yagna after feeding all the guests. From these rishis the supreme science was obtained by Varuna the god of the ocean.

3. From Vāņī – He has been called Apantaratamā, son of Vāņī in Mahābhārata, śānti parva (349/39). He taught Trisuparņa Ŗşi. As per purāņas, he lived on banks of Gautamī (Godāvarī). The suparņa, is stated to have entered sea-tending coastal land has been called Reļhi (Ŗgveda 10/114/4)

In Brahma's birth 933 trillion and 120 billion years previous to the birth of our present day Brahma ..., Brahma then appeared from the ear of Vishnu. When Vishnu lying upon Sesha Naga desired to manifest creation he reflected upon a being who would be puissant enough to accomplish this. At that time a being competent enough to fulfill this appeared from his ear and Vishnu named him Brahma. Vishnu instructed him to create various kinds of beings to populate creation. Also Vishnu imparted to Brahma the supreme science ... . After this Brahma created the various and diverse universes with their variegated mobile and immobile creatures.... Brahma who was the creator of all the worlds worshipped Vishnu a purusa incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna for the benefit of everyone in all the worlds. Then desiring to spread this knowledge Brahma instructed the supreme science of Bhagavad-Gita to ... the Manu of that timeframe named Svarochish Manu who carefully imparted that knowledge to his son Sankhapada who in turn taught this knowledge to his son Suvarnabha.

4. In ādi kŗta yuga (37902-33102 BC)- Brahmā was from ears. He taught Vedas with Āraņyaka, Rahasya, and Sangraha to Svārochişa Manu, Śankhapada, dikpāla Suvarņābha.

In Brahma's birth 622 trillion and 80 billion years previous to the birth of our present day Brahma ..., Brahma then appeared from the nostril of Vishnu. At that time Vishnu himself sang the supreme science ... in his presence. Then a fiat of Brahma born from his will named Sanat Kumara studied it thoroughly and instructed it to Prajapati Virana who after studying it taught it to the ascetic Raivya who imparted it to his son of pure soul and firm vows and great intelligence.

5. In ādi kŗta yuga -From nose of Nārāyaņa-He taught Vīraņa, Raibhya Muni, and Kukśi (Dik-pāla = Ruler of a region).

In Brahma's birth 311 trillion and 40 billion years previous to the birth of our present day Brahmas manifestation from the divine lotus from Vishnu, Brahma was manifest from a golden egg from Vishnu. When the golden egg cracked Brahma emerged and Vishnu communicated the supreme science ... to him. Brahma then delivered it to those holy sages known as the Varhis.ad-as who in turn gave it to a brahmana named Jeshthya well versed in the Sama Veda. The brahmana Jeshthya instructed a king named Avikampana..

6. Aņɖaja Brahmā-taught Barhişad Muni, Jyeşţha Sāmavratī, king Avikampana.

Madhvacarya the establisher of the Brahma Madhva Vaisnava Sampradaya received instructions and knowledge ... directly from Vedavyasa the author of the Mahabharata who had received the knowledge ... from Narada Muni who had received it from Brahma who is the root source of the Brahma Vaisnava Sampradaya and its subsequent disciplic succession. Our present Brahma who was born from the divine lotus received the knowledge of Bhagavad-Gita directly from Vishnu.

7. Padmanābha Brahmā taught Dakśa, Vivasvāna, Ikśvāku
