sa eva prathamaṁ devaḥ

kaumāraṁ sargam āśritaḥ

cacāra duścaraṁ brahmā

brahmacaryam akhaṇḍitam

Translation

First of all, in the beginning of creation, there were the four unmarried sons of Brahmā [the Kumāras], who, being situated in a vow of celibacy, underwent severe austerities for realization of the Absolute Truth.
