Brahma's Incest with His Daugher Sarasvati
by Mukesh Rao
" Brahma is one of the 3 main gods - Trimurti - of the Hindu pantheon.
He is the creator of the universe. Sarasvati, who became the wife of
her own father, was the daughter of Brahma. There are 2 stories about
her genesis in the `Saraswati Purana'. One is that Brahma created his
beautiful daughter Saraswati direct from his `vital strength' or
seminal fluid. The other is that Brahma used to collect his semen in a
pot whenever he masturbated fixing his carnal eyes on the celestial
beauty Urvasi. Brahma's semen in the pot gave birth to the sage
Agastya, and Agastya in turn gave birth to Saraswati. Thus, Saraswati
had no mother.
" This daughter or grand-daughter of Brahma is the Hindu goddess of
learning. When Brahma saw the beauty of Saraswati he became amorous. To
escape from her father's passionate approach Saraswati ran to the lands
in all four directions, but she could not escape from her father. She
succumbed to Brahma's wish. Brahma and his daughter Saraswati lived as
husband and wife indulging in incest for 100 years. They had a son
Swayambhumaru and a daughter Satarupa. THrough the incest of Brahma's
son and daughter Brahma got two grandsons and two grand-daughters."
