Rishi Brighu

Rishi Bhrigu is also manas putra of Brahma and how come he marries his own brothers daughter and when Brahmas head gets chopped of by Shiv why doesn't he react like Daksh?

...

Rishi Kashyap also marries his fathers brothers daughter..all in the family same Gothras or may they did not exist then but Prasuthi is Manus daughter and Manu was the one who wrote code of conduct.Can someone please explain..

remember they are manasputra not real putra.

it means that there may be age difference between them. u know one of my grand uncle is just 3 years older to my dad.

so these situations do exist.

then u will say how sati can marry mahadev. since sati is granddaughter of brahma and brahma and mahadev are equals.


we need to keep in mind in satyayuga people are assumed to live for several thousand/lakh years. bhrigu-khyati marriage is not at all surprising since they are mind born children of brahma not his own kids.

acc. to what i read in few purans...

brighu is a sapta rishi... they actually came from narayan.. narayan was the cause for rivers, feelings, humanity, rakshas, devtas and sapta rishis...

they are not related to brahma

but its written in wiki that bhrigu is mind born son of brahmna i.e. manasputra.
anyways i always read info on net and not actual puranas. so im not really sure.
but wiki generally has correct info.
