Brahma
is the creator of the universe, Saraswati, who became the wife of her
own father, was the daughter of Brahma. There are two 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 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. Swayambhumaru made love with his sister Satarpa. Through
the incest of Brahma’s son and daughter Brahma got two grandsons and two
grand-daughters.
More of Lord Brahma’s (Prajapati’s) incest:
“Prajapati desired his daughter and made love to her. This was a sin in
the eyes of the gods, who said to the god who rules over beasts
[Pasupati, Rudra], ‘He commits a sin, acting in this way towards his own
daughter, our sister. Pierce him.’ Rudra took aim and pierced him. Half
his seed fell to the ground. The gods cured Prajapati and cut out
Rudra’s dart, for Prajapati is the sacrifice. To utilize [the seed], the
gods said, ‘Take care that this may not be lost, but that it may be
less than the oblation.’ They gave it to Bhaga to eat, but it burnt his
eyes and he became blind. Then they gave it to Pusan to eat, but it
knocked out his teeth. At last they gave it to Savitr [the sun] and it
did not injure him, for he appeased it.” — Satapatha Brahmana 1:7:4:1-7.
