Metaphysical interpretation of Trimūrti is already hinted at. Mythological accounts of the triad are quite well known—Brahmā created the world; Viṣṇu preserved the creation throughout by maintaining the life principle and removing the destructive elements in various incarnations; Pralaya or dissolution of the world was brought about by Śiva or Rudra.
