Bhūtādikasarga (भूतादिकसर्ग) or Bhūtādisarga refers to the “creation of the elements” and represents the fifth of the nine classes of cosmic creation (sarga), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.15:—“[...] then again at the bidding of Lord Śiva the Bhūtādikasarga (Bhūtādisarga) appeared. Thus five types of creation collectively called Vaikṛta were set in motion by me. [...] I cannot adequately describe the divisions and sub-divisions of all these types of creation (e.g., Bhūtādikasarga). [...]”.
