Created Women

Most men and women are born to their parents, still there are a few countable men and women who were created. We give here the names of those women who were created. The first two woman were created by Brahmaa Jee, the third one by Vshwakarmaa at the request of Brahmaa Jee and the fourth one was created by Maharshi Agastya Jee for himself..

Ahalyaa
Once Brahmaa Jee took all the most beautiful things from his creation and created a woman named Ahalyaa. The woman was very beautiful, and she was so much beautiful that after she was created, when she went around the Brahm Sabhaa, all Devtaa, Rishi etc could not take their eyes off her. Even Brahmaa Jee himself could not his eyes off her. Wherever she went Brahmaa Jee created his one face towards that side. Thus he had four faces in all the four directions and got known as Chaturaanan. Later he came to his senses and gave her to Rishi Gautam as Gautam Rishi had full control on his Indriyaan. Indra was also looking at her and was thinking about her only, but he got very disappointed seeing that Brahmaa Jee gave her to an ascetic. Since then Indra had his eyes on her and he had developed a jealousy with Rishi Gautam. (read Ahalyaa and Gautam's story here to know what happened later).

Mohinee
There was a king named Rukmaangad who was a great devotee of Vishnu. He himself kept fast of every Ekaadashee and forced his people also to keep it. This made Yam Lok empty as all people went to Vaikunth Lok after observing Ekaadashee Vrat. Yam Raaj got very sad and wanted to resign from his position as he had no work, his Yam Lok was empty. So he went to Brahmaa Jee and told him his saga. Brahmaa Jee was not so much troubled with this but Yam Raaj threatened him that the King should be removed from his way. So Brahmaa Jee got an idea. He collected most beautiful things from his Creation and created a woman. He had closed his eyes not to see her, but he found that other Devtaa etc were looking at her. The woman asked Brahmaa Jee what could she do for him?

Brahmaa Jee said - "There is a king named Rukmaangad on Prithvi. He has a son Dharmaangad who is more religious than his father. The borders of his kingdom have surpassed his father. He is still unmarried because of his father. You go to the King and move his mind. Because of your beauty you will be known as Mohinee. Mohinee went to Prithvi and started singing near a Shiv Ling.

Rukmaangad was very happy with his son, so he gave his kingdom to his son, and instructed him to follow Dharm. The son promised to his father that till he was alive, Dharm Raaj could not come in his kingdom.  Rukmaangad went to forest with his wife. From there he came to the same place where Mohinee was singing. Seeing her Rukmaangad got attracted to her and asked her to be with him. Mohinee said that she would live with him but he will have to agree with her with whatever and whenever she would tell him to do. Now the King was so much under her control that he agreed to it. Later, gradually she asked him to drop his Ekaadashee fast, Kaarttik Vrat and other good Karm and do other things which disturbed his program. When Rukmaangad did not agree to her, she asked him to kill his son. Dharmaangad gave the sword to his father and both Dharmaangad and his mother requested the King to kill him.

Mohinee got stunned seeing this and fied herself. The king raised his sword and Mohinee got unconscious. The King was about to cut his son's head that Vishnu held his hand. Vishnu was very pleased with his Dharm. He touched his body and all got absorbed in His body. Seeing this Yam Raaj told Brahmaa Jee that he did not want to work on that position any more. Devtaa wanted to bestow boon on Mohinee, but Rukmaangad's Purohit Vasu cane and cursed Mohinee to be burnt. She turned to ashes. That was not the end of Mohinee - Read this story in detail here.


Tilottamaa
Once there were two Asur brothers - Sund and Upasund. They loved each other very much and did not anything without each other. They ate together, they slept together, they did all their work together. Once they did Tapasyaa together and asked the boon of immortality from Brahmaa Jee. As usual he could not grant this boon, so he asked them to ask for another boon which could give them near immortality. They had a great confidence in their love that they would never fight with each other, so they said - "We want to be killed by one another." Brahmaa Jee said - "So be it." and disappeared. Now since they could not be killed  by anybody else, they started doing great atrocities all over the world, So Devtaa, sages, Chaaran, Siddh etc prayed Brahmaa Jee to kill them. According to the boon granted to them they could be killed by each other only, then how to create fight between them?

Brahmaa Jee thought and thought and asked Vshwakarmaa to create a beautiful woman. he created a woman and named her Tilottamaa. Brahmaa Jee asked her to lure those two Asur and then make them fight with each other, so that they could kill each other. One day both brothers were taking bath in a pond that they saw Tilottamaa coming towards them. Both got attracted towards her and both had a desire to marry her. Both started fighting with each other and fought so much that they killed each other.


Lopaamudraa
Lopaamudraa was created by Agastya Muni. Once Agastya Jee was going somewhere that he saw some men hanging upside down in a well. He asked them who were they and how could they be saved? They said - "We are Agastya's ancestors and we are waiting for Agastya's son so that we can be saved." Agastya Jee said - "I am that unfortunate who has given you this condition. I will soon have a son and save you from this situation." He then went out to look for a girl from whom he can produce himself as his son, but found nobody of his liking. So he collected the most beautiful things from the Creation and produced a woman. At the same time the King of Vidarbh Desh was doing Tap for a child. He gave that woman to him and she was born there as his daughter. When she became of marriageable age, he married her. Thus Lopaamudraa is also a created woman.
