Sri Sriranga Narayana Jeeyar Swamigale Saranam!
After every Maha Kalpa (311.040 Trillion Earth Years = 1 breath of Maha Vishu – Bhagavad Gita 9.7), a complete annihilation and manifestation of this material creation occurs.
Each Pancha Bhoota or Gross Element is just associated with its own Subtle element or Tanmatra and not so in actuality. After the basic 24 elements (details are given by Lord Kapilar in Srimad Bhagavatham) come into existence, Panchikaranam begins to bring the gross elements to the current state they are in.
Perumal first takes Ether and divides it into 2 halves. He takes one half, divides it into 4 equal quarters and shares them each with the other 4 elements. He does the same to all the 5 gross elements. At the end of this process, all elements are a mixture of 50% of itself and 12.5% of the other 4 elements.
The Creation that happens till this point of time is called Samashti Creation (Creation done by the Supreme Being himself). At the end of the Samashti Creation, there are millions of eggs or Andams floating in the cosmos. Each of this Andam contains 14 lokas – Satya, Tapa, Jana, Mahar, Svar, Bhuvar, Bhur Lokas at the top and Atala, Vitala, Sutala, Talatala, Mahatala, Rasatala and Patala Lokas under the ground. It is also covered on the exterior by seven natural envelopes – Water, Fire, Air and Ether- in the same order-followed by Ahankara, Mahan and finally by the Indiscrete Principle (Moola Prakruti). Each layer is ten-fold than the previous one.
Inside each such Egg, all the worlds that would be created, are in an embryonic state. Our world contains Mountains, Rivers, Land, Ocean etc… The egg also contains, Asuras, Devas, Humans and all other living things.
The Supreme Being (Perumal) then appoints one very pure Soul (Atma) as Brahma of each Andam. He then becomes the Antharyami (or the Inner God) of Brahma and starts Vyashti Srishti. Brahma goes on to create Asuras, Devas, Rakshasas, Yakshas, Gandharvas, Plants and animals, basically everything that lives and is a part of our Lokas (8.4 Million Species).
We get information from the Padma Purana that the 8.4 million species of life are divided into six groups, namely acquatics, trees, insects, birds, animals and humans.
1. ACQUATICS/Jalaja – 0.9 million
2. TREES /Sthavara – 2.0 million
3. INSECTS/Krimayo – 1.1 million
4. BIRDS/Pakshinam – 1.0 million
5. ANIMALS/Pashavah – 3.0 million
6. HUMANS/Manavah – 0.4 million
The actual Sanskrit verse from the Padma Purana explaining the above numbers is as follows
“jalaja nava lakshani, sthavara laksha-vimshati, krimayo rudra-sankhyakah, pakshinam dasha-lakshanam, trinshal-lakshani pashavah, chatur lakshani manavah”
The humans include Gandharvas, Vidyadharas, Caranas, Angels, Apsaras, Yaksas, Rakshas, Bhutaganas, Uragas, Pasus, Pitas, Kinnaras, Kimpurushas, Pretas, Pisacas, Bhutas, Pannagas, Vaitalikas, Vetalas, Nagas, Uragas, Pannagas, Suparnas,Mahoragas, Pramathas, Nayakas, Asuras, Devas, Daityas, Danavas, Guhyakas, Ribhus, Kindevas and so on.
The very first creation at the start of the new Brahma’s first day is called Sarga. The creation that happens after every dissolution or pralaya is called Prati-Sarga.
Detailed description of how Brahma achieves the progeny is given in our scriptures like Vishnu Purana and Srimad Bhagavatam. Please listen to Velukkudi Swamigal Saptaga Bhagavatham Upanyasam for much better explanation.
Adiyen made a humble effort to scribble my basic understanding.
@Velukkudi Swami: please forgive and correct this ignorant bhakta for any mistakes.

Sri Velukkudi Krishnan Swami Guruve Namaha,
AthiArputham explanation Badri BhagavatA referring to Sri Velukudi krishnan Swami’s “Kannunin KadhaiAmudham (Srimadh BhagavAtham)’ Upanyasam, about BhagavAN SrimAn NarayanAn’s does Initial Shristi from Moola Prakruthi to Mahan to Ahankaram subdivided to Satvika Ahankaram, Rajasika Ahankaram and Tamasik Ahankaram , and then Satvika Ahankaram divided to 5 KarmaIndriyangal & 5 Gyana Indriyangal, and Tamasik Ahankaram divided to 5 ThannMaatrangal and 5 PanchaBhoothangal in which BhagavAn does the PanchiKaranam using the 5 PanchaBhoothangal. These 24 elements makes up the Achit tatvam, then Chit Tatvam and ParamAthma Tatvam, which makes up total of 26. Then, BhagavAN gives the creates Brahma Post etc.. and so on….
Adiyen is also making a flow chart of these subdivisions with Ahcarya Krupai. Adiyen will post it.

Mikka Arumai Kongil Piratti Swami! Adiyen have a long term desire to put a chart for Yatindra Mata Deepika based on Velukkudi Swamigal upanyasam. When I first heard it was mind blowing but would have been more easier to follow if we had this kind of chart.
Alwar Emperumanaar Jeeyar Thiruvadigale Saranam
@Elayalwar Swami: Please share the flow chart that Devareer made for Yatindra Mata Deepika!
Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha,
Nandri Badri Swami for the remainder of Adiyen’s above post as “………..Adiyen is also making a flow chart of these subdivisions with Ahcarya Krupai. Adiyen will post it,………….”.
Adiyen will re-create the flow chart and post it for easy visual understanding based on Velukkudi Swami’s “Yathindra Mata Deepika”.
Just FDI,
The reason why Adiyen said adiyen will recreate is because, Adiyen started making one around 12Dec’2018 same timing as above post using “Samsung Galaxy S4”, which came with lot of unneccasry pre-installed junk Apps with automatic updates which even Adiyen don’t use like BhagavAn’s Samsaram has both Pious and Ignorant stuffs. One day Adiyen phone crashed and was a done deal. So Adiyen lost the flow chart that was 50% completed, and Adiyen forgot about it at later time. Then Adiyen started looking for a phone that serves the primary purpose of “phone calls” with some minimal smart phone features (no junk Apps) for living neccessities like maps, etc… and primary for Kainkaryam purposes (listen Swami’s audios, check SriVaishnava blogs, websites etc…) and Adiyen found one that suits for Adiyen which is LG (Life’s Good) like BhagavAn’s Acharya GuruParamparai with minimal Materialistic involvements. Adiyen will re-create the flow chart and post it….,😇
Adiyen (ElayaAlwar) Srinivasa (DhoddayAcharyar) Dasan.
@ElayaAlwar Swami Namaskaram, a kind reminder to share the chart if Devareer has completed it!
