Ādisarga (आदिसर्ग) refers to the “first creation”, according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, In the first creation (ādisarga), [Śiva] created Brahman from his right limb and gave the latter all the Vedas and Purāṇas. He then created Vāsudeva (Viṣṇu) for the preservation and Kāla-Rudra for destruction. From him the world proceeded and in him it would merge.

Chapter twenty-one [of the Saurapurāṇa] deals with the first creation (ādisarga) of the universe by Śiva while chapter twenty-two describes creation by Brahmā in the Vārāhakalpa.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
