When churned the ocean for the first time, four Vedas came out (Jyoti Niranjan created four Vedas with his breaths and ordered them by secret speech to reside in the ocean) and Brahma took them all. When the three children brought the Vedas to mother, she said that Brahma may keep the four Vedas and read them.On churning the ocean the second time, got three girls. Mother distributed all the three. Prakriti (Durga) acquired her own three other forms (Savitri, Lakshmi and Parvati) and hid in the ocean. Then came out during churning of the ocean. That same Prakritiacquired three forms and was given in the form of 'Savitri' to god Brahma, 'Lakshmi' to god Vishnu and 'Parvati' to god Shankar, as wives.{When the ocean was churned the third time, Brahma got fourteen gems; Vishnu and other gods got 'nectar'.
