Manasa, Manaswin: Spiritual Theosophical Dictionary on Manasa, Manaswin

Manasa or Manaswin (Sanskrit). "The efflux of the divine mind," and explained as meaning that this efflux signifies the manasa or divine sons of Brahma-Viraj. Nilakantha who is the authority for this statement, further explains the term "manasa" by manomatrasarira. These Manasa are the Arupa or incorporeal sons of the Prajapati Viraj, in another version. But as Arjuna Misra identifies Viraj with Brahma, and as Brahma is Mahat, the universal mind, the exoteric blind becomes plain. The Pitris are identical with the Kumara, the Vairaja, the Manasa-Putra (mind sons), and are finally identified with the human "Egos".
