Vrishni heroes

Symbolism
The mind: S. Dasgupta relates that in the Mahabharata (Santi-Parva: 224), Narada 'had a vision of Narayana, whom he adored. Narayana said to him that Vāsudeva was the highest changeless God, from whom came out Sankarsana, the lord of all life, from him came Pradyumna, called manas, and from Pradyumna came Aniruddha, the Ego. From Anruddha came Brahma, who created the universe'. Manas means 'thought' or 'mind', and in Hindu Creationism, this exists prior to and produces the ego (i.e. the sense of "I"), which in turn exists prior to and produces the creator of physical reality, Brahma.
