Oh Guruvayoorappa! This Ahamkara was again mixed with Sathwa, Rajas and Tamas in various proportions, permutations and combinations.From this came "VAIKARIKA" (Sathwa predominant),TAIJASA" (Rajas predominant) and "TAMASA" (Tamas predominant).From Vaikarika (Sathwic) were created the Godswho preside over the organs of sense and action and the mind. They are the presiding deities of Gyanendriyaas -(organs of knowledge) which are Dik Devata (of hearing), Vaayu (of touch), Soorya (of seeing), Varuna (of taste) and Ashwini Devatas (of smell). Karmendriyaas - (organs of action) which are Agni (of speech), Indra (of hands), Vishnu (of the legs), Mitra (of excretion) and Prajaapati (of reproduction). Antahkarana -(Inner equipment consisting of Mana, Buddhi, Ahankaara and Chit) which are Moon (of mind), Brahma (of Buddhi- the intellect), Rudra (of Ahamkaara) and Kshetrajna (of Chitt -memory).
