In Vaivaswat Manvantar (the present Manvantar) Brahmaa asked Atri Muni to create people. So he did Tap to get children. One day a few drops of water fell from his eyes. They were lighting the whole world. Devee (goddesses) of directions took them with the desire of having children, but they could not bear the grace of that fetus so they released it. Brahmaa Jee collected that fetus and converted it into a fine young man who had all kinds of weapons. He took that man to his own Lok. All Brahmarshi regarded him as their Swaamee (Lord) and everybody prayed him. [He named him Chandramaa]

At that time his grace, which had increased to a great extent, caused herbs to grow on Prithvi. That is how Chandramaa became the Swaamee of herbs. He waxes in Shukla Paksh and wanes in Krishn Paksh. After some time Daksh, the son of Prachetaa Gan, married his 27 daughters to him. Chandramaa did Tap for a long time. Pleased with him Naaraayan asked him to ask for any Var. Chandramaa asked - "I wish to do Raajsooya Yagya in Indra Lok. All Devtaa, including you, should be present in my Yagya in person and Shankar should protect my Yagya." "So be it" and Vishnu organized that Yagya Himself. In that Yagya Atri was Hotaa, Bhrigu was Adhwaryu, and Brahmaa was Udgaataa. Shree Hari became Drashtaa in the form of Brahmaa. When that Yagya got completed, he became the Swaamee of seven Lok.
