Manasputra is a Sanskrit term which literally means "willingly accepted as an own son" or "equivalent to pan son". In Hinduism, the god Brahma created 16 sons and 1 daughter from his mind, these rishis, or sages were also known as prajapati. These children are not born through natural process. As Brahma is considered their father, Saraswati, Brahma's wife, is considered their namesake mother. According to the Bhagavata Purana, their names are: Angiras (sage), Atri, Pulastya, Marichi, Pulaha, Kratu, Bhrigu, Vashistha, Daksha, Narada, Chitragupta, The Four Kumaras, Kardama Muni, and Shatarupa.[1]
