(''a'') Here tradition falls again into the Universal. As in the earliest version, repeated in the Purânas, so in the latest, the Mosaic account. In the first it is said&nbsp;: “&nbsp;He the Lord&nbsp;” (the god who has the form of Brahmâ) “&nbsp;when the world had become one ocean ''(&nbsp;Harivamsa I. ''36) concluding that within the waters lay the earth, and desirous to raise it up,” to separate it, “&nbsp;created himself in another form. As in the preceding Kalpa (Manvantara) he had assumed the shape of a tortoise, so in this one he took the shape of a boar, etc. etc.” In the Elohistic “&nbsp;creation&nbsp;” ''(Genesis'', verses 6, 7, 8, and 9) “&nbsp;God&nbsp;” creates a firmament in the midst of the waters . . . . . and says “&nbsp;let ''dry land ''appear.” And now comes the traditional peg whereunto is hung the esoteric portion of the Kabalistic interpretation.</div>Pavel Malakhov
