The Consort of Siva is the Energy through Whom He guides
the life process of Monads or Jivas. In the first stage of life process
She is called Sati or the Lasting. For the body of the Jiva was
lasting during the period of evolution. But Her misison was to act
on the Monad itself, to cause the material tendency in it by means of
Tamas.
In the second stage, She is the Energy of dissolution, death
and phenomenal change. In the third stage, she is over and above
that the Energy of rejection (of all that is evil in us.) She is the kind
mother, who has been nourishing all Jivas in their course of evolution.
When the Mineral form was reached by the primal elemental
Jiva, the creative process had done its work and the process of dissolu-
tion was to assert itself. There was to be a revolution in the life
process. Sati gave up her own nature and became re-born in another
character in the Mineral Kingdom. The creative process was mate-
rially changed. Daksha lost his original head, and he acquired the
head of a goat. The goat symbolises sexual connection. All this
happened during the reign of Prachina-Barhis. The Prachetas brothers
were his sons. Daksha reappeared as the son of the Prachetas
brothers.
The Adityas or gods of preservation who formed Daksha were
Pushava and Bhaga. They were the preserving deities of the first
stage of life process. When the next stage came in, they lost their
activity. This explains the breaking of teeth and the uprooting of
eyes of two of the Adityas. The subjoined Table of correspondences
taken from the nth. Chapter of the Twelfth Skandha shews that
Pushana and Bhaga correspond to the months of Pausha (December)
and Magha (January) when the rays of the sun are the least powerful.
These Adityas preserve Jivas in their downward course. Pushana was
a favorite god of the Aryan shepherd.]
