Srimad Bhagavadgeeta :


Chapter-10.( Vibuti-yogam )


Chapter ten reveals Lord Krishna's exalted position as the cause of all causes. Also specifying His special manifestations and opulences. Arjuna prays to the Lord to describe more of the opulences and the Lord describes those which are most prominent. Thus this chapter is entitled: The Infinite Glories of the Ultimate Truth.


Slokam-6.


Nor the number of theists, nor the great wise know My origin; I am certainly the source of the godly and the great sages in all respect.
My origin is not even known to the greatest wise or gods of enlightenment; in every respect I am the source of the great sages and the God-conscious ones. ( Slokam-2 )


Maharshaya     sapta    purve    catvaro    manavasttha,


Madbhava    manasa    jatah    yesham    loka   imah    prahah.


Sapta    maharshayah      =       Sevan Rishies; (and)

Purve   catvarah                 =       Before them,  four Sanakaties;

Tattha    manavah             =       Likewise, manus;

Madbhavah                         =       With all my supreme nature;

Manasah    jatah               =        Born from my mind.

Loke   imah   prajah         =        The whole population ( creatures ) of this world;

Yesham                               =         Belong to them. ( born from them ).


From the mind of the seven great sages [Arti, Bhrigu, Kutsa, Vashista, Goutama, Kashyapa, Angiras] and before that, the four Sanakaties [the progenitors (Sanakan, Sanandhanan, Sanatanan, Sanatkumaran )], likewise Manus,  who also stem from Me, all of the population born in this world has originated.


Every human being taking birth in the world, originated from the ancient, seven great sages and the four primal fathers who also stem from my mind.


The idea mentioned in slokam-2, is fully explained in this slokam by Sri Krishna.  Seven Rishies, four kumaras, and fourteen manus are born from Lord's mind.


"Yesham loke ima prajah" :- Praja means all living and non-living things took birth from Lord's mind, this statement clarifies the cause and support of the world.


"Maharsha sapta":- If we look according to 'Vyashti', "components of the world such as 1. buddhi ( intelligence ), 2. ahamkaram ( ego ), panchendriyas ( five sense-organs, and their 'Murthi-bhavam' ( divine nature ), pronounced by the Sapta ( seven ) Rishies, present in  each one of us. 


Imaginations by itself cannot produce agitations, when one desire shoot up, we just own it ( attached to it ), and we allow it grow,thereafter the strong desire is the outcome, spoiling our peace of mind, this is supported by the 'Vishayas' of panchendriyas, this flood of sankalpas are the cause for all our joys-sorrows, successes-failures, profits-losses of our small world's cause for the 'srushti'(creation ).


"Purve catvarah  manavah":- The four 'Kumaras'are the Lord's "manasa putras" ( sons of mind ).
In the beginning of srushti ( creation ) "BRAHMA"from his mind, viz,"Sanandan, Sanandanan, Sanadanan, and Sanatkumar" these four are created, which is supported by our Puranas."Brahma"is nothing else, it is the life energy in us, when the creative urge becomes strong, it takes shape inside us,and begins to active very strongly. Its activity is in four ways ( Mind, Bhuddhi, Chittam, and Ahamkaram. Likewise, in this way the inner activity Samshti takes place. This is called as the 'manas-putras ( Sanakaties- four kumaras ) of 'Brahma'.


By this one slokam, the creation activity in the fields of 'samashti'and 'vyashti' is beautifully narrated. The creation in samashti ( lokam ) by 1.importance, 2. ahamkaram, 3. the tanmatra ( sound smell etc ) of panchendriyas and by inner activity in vyashti ( individual ) is expressed. 


Thus, the saptarshies and the four forefathers, these two terms indicate the cause for the creation of 'Samashti'and 'Vyashti'.
This is the tattvam of Srushti( creation).
