ʰṛt (प्राकृतसर्�) refers to the “natural creation�, according to the 10th century ܰܰṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—The first entity to originate from Brahmā is Mahat. Next comes the creation of five subtle elements originating form ṃk predominated by tamas which is also called Bhūtasarga. The third is the creator of five Sense-organs , five motor-organs and the mind arising from ṃk predominated by Sattva (첹). These three creations are termed as ʰṛt, as these three entities emanated from Brahmā in the natural process when Brahmā didn’t think over the pros and cons of the creation.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
