The great sage Maitreya continued: My dear Vidura, Havirdhāna's very powerful son named Barhiṣat was very expert in performing various kinds of fruitive sacrifices, and he was also expert in the practice of mystic  yoga . By his great qualifications, he became known as Prajāpati.
PURPORT
In the beginning of the creation there were not many living entities, and consequently the very powerful living entities or demigods were appointed as  prajāpatis  in order to beget children and increase the population. There are many  prajāpatis —Brahmā, Dakṣa and Manu are sometimes known as  prajāpatis —and Barhiṣat, the son of Havirdhāna, became one of them.
