if 18 is Rudra’s #, then 17 ought to be his father Pra-ja-pati’s #
|
there are 17 "kindling verses" to Pra-ja-pati (H&Ch, p. 504); and likewise 17 "cups" offered to Pra-ja-pati (PTH, p. 746) : in S`B 5:1:2:10-18 this # is explained as of pairs of ribs |
Qadmo^n was diminished by 2 ribs (used to form Lilit & H.awwah); the resultant diminished being was >adam |

Pra-ja-pati had 3 sons : S`arva, Bhava (who, together with his wife Bhavani, engendred a self-luminous metal – radium?) (BhP 24:17 --SHP), and Rudra |
<adam had 3 sons : Qayin (‘Reed’ {cf. Tollan}), Hebel {[according to Manda<] Hibil-Ziwa (ziwa ‘bright, luminous’)} , and S^et |
