The great sage Maitreya continued: My dear Vidura, Havirdhana’s very
powerful son named Barhisat 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 Prajapati.
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 prajapatis in order to beget children and increase the
population. There are many prajapatis—Brahma, Daksa and Manu are
sometimes known as prajapatis—and Barhisat, the son of Havirdhana,
became one of them.
