in the texts
De Rerum Natura
The naturalistic origin story of the world's layered structure—earth, sea, air, ether, sun and moon—arising from the settling of atomic matter by weight and motion, without divine design.
I'll now in order tell.
The whirlpools of her brine;
Hard upon ether came the origins
Rigveda
Mythic narrative of the origin of the gods and the cosmos.
From Aditi, Dakṣa was born;
Aditi had eight sons born from her body.
But for birth and death she brought Mārtāṇḍa back again.
