Å«rjaḥ-vantam - full of energy; manyamÄnaḥ - recognizing; ÄtmÄnam - himself; bhagavÄn - the most worshipful; ajaḥ - BrahmÄ; sÄdhyÄn - the demigods; gaṇÄn - hosts; pitá¹›-gaṇÄn - and the PitÄs; paroká¹£eṇa - from his invisible form; asá¹›jat - created; prabhuḥ - the lord of beings.
Recognizing himself to be full of desire and energy, the worshipful BrahmÄ, the creator of the living entities, evolved from his own invisible form, from his navel, the hosts of SÄdhyas and PitÄs.
The SÄdhyas and PitÄs are invisible forms of departed souls, and they are also created by BrahmÄ.
