26These three are the derived creations, best of the good, and the creation of the gods besides, which was called vaikarika; and the Kumara creation partakes of both. 27The creation of the gods is of eight kinds: gods, fathers, antigods, gandharvas and apsarases, siddhas, yaksas and raksasas, and caranas; 28and bhutas, pretas and pisacas, vidyadharas, kinnaras and the rest. Vidura, these ten creations have now been declared, made by the maker of the universe. 29After this I shall speak of the lines of descent and of the intervals of the Manus. So the creator, steeped in passion, the self-born who is Hari, at the beginnings of the kalpas, his will never failing, being himself the Self, creates himself by himself.
