At that moment, the Earth, created by the Pancha Bhuthams (five manifestations of ature), becomes a mother and embraces all living beings, providing them with abundant natural resources, doing their duty and guiding them. Apart from that, the earth is also the first teacher who teaches the lessons necessary for life.
