[The 8 Vasus are sub-manifestations of Brahmâ or the creative Purusha. They are energies that help creation in various ways. They find no place in the Hindu worship now. They are invoked only in marriage ceremonies when their appropriateness is evident. The Vedic gods can be analysed thus:--:
Purusha | --+------------------------+-----------------------+-- | | | Creative or Brahmâ Preservative or Vishnu Destructive or Siva 8 Vasus. 12 Âdityas. 11 Rudras.
These are 31 gods. Then there are Prajâpati and Indra, making the number 33. The Brihat Âranyaka says that the 33 Krores of Devas are only sub rays of these primary 33].
