Is the following true and if it is can anyone give the relevant verses:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Another myth in the Rig-Veda (page 26 of âHindu Mythsâ) has creation through sexual intercourse between the creator and his daughter. The creator is not named but from later myths one can deduce that he is Prajapati, an earlier name for Brahma. How the daughter came into existence is also not specified. Agni the God of Fire fuels the creatorâs passion and he takes pleasure in the act. Almost as being incidental, a race of youth, known as the Agnirases, are produced from the union, whose progeny is the human race.

Also are there any verses in the vedas about widow remarriage.
