When God Brahmā(Brahma) got into a state of sensuous arousal, seeing Satī (Sati), daughter of Dakṣa(Daksa), Brahma’s bright and burning genital fluid fell upon the ground. From that Brahmavīrya (Brahmavirya; semen of Brahmā), emerged the great-sounding clouds called Āvarta (Avarta). When this cloud, roaring, pervaded the sky, Mahādeva (Mahadeva) got attracted to Satī(Sati) and felt an amorous desire for her.
