MATRO (MESCHIA) AND MATROYAO (MESCHIANE), - THE FIRST HUMAN PAIR

These signify the mental and emotional natures evolved in the first class pitris on the third round of the terrene chain.

"And in forty years, with the shape of a one-stemmed Rivas-plant, and the 15 years of its 15 leaves, Matro and Matroyao grew up from the earth in such a manner that their arms rested behind their shoulders, and one joined to the other they were connected together and both alike."-The Bundahis, Ch. XV. 2.

And during a cyclic period of transitory conditions the first root-race evolved in the third round. The "15 years of its 15 leaves" signify each a cyclic period answering to the evolution of the mental and emotional natures through the physical, astral, and lower mental planes. The growth from the earth" is a symbol of the upward increasing stature of the nature of the manhood. The position of the arms is symbolic of the acquired power of will, and as this comes into play, the mental and emotion natures each approach the other more and more, and serve to complement one another. (The first class pitris were originally perfect in their higher nature, and capable of consciously functioning only upon the buddhic plane (Eden) in a state of innocence, free from care, and relying wholly upon the Divine Will. Afterwards occur the temptation and fall to the lower planes.)
