In the Secret Doctrine, the Stanzas of DZYAN names many kinds of “Sons” that refer to different celestial beings:
Mind-born Sons. The celestial beings and human beings who were created and not born through physical means, such as the Sons of Brahmā, Prajāpatis, etc. The boneless First Root Race of humanity was also mind-born, that is, produced by the power of kriyāśakti.
Lunar Sons. The beings in the Moon who were going through their own evolutionary development who later assisted the Earth in human evolution.
Sons of Ad. Another name for the SONS OF THE FIRE MIST who were produced by kriyāśakti.

Sons of the Flame of Wisdom. The Solar Pitris, Agnishvāttas, or those who awakened the mind principle in humanity, as personified by Prometheus in Greek mythology (SD II:411).
Sons of Darkness. Those of the Third Root Race who failed to conquer their lower natures. Those who succeeded were called the Sons of Light (SD II:272). It is also a term equivalent to the Zoroastrian Asuras, equivalent to the Hebrew Elohim, as contrasted to light immutable and eternal (SD II:488). Among Gnostics, Jehovah was Ilda-Baoth, the “son of Darkness” (SD I:197).

Sons of God. Human beings of the Fourth and Fifth Root Races who fought with the Sons of the Shadow (SD II:500). They taught early humanity the first notions of the arts and sciences, and spiritual knowledge, as well as laid the first foundation-stone of the ancient civilizations (SD I:208). They live in the Sacred Island, and took advantage of the deluge to rid of Atlantis of sorcerers (SD II:772). On a celestial level, they refer to the celestial beings, such as angels and archangels, including the fallen angels (SD II:265).

Sons of Mahat. The ones who vivified the human animal, hence equivalent to the Solar Pitis. Also called the “Lords of Spiritual Life eternal” (SD I:103).

They were also the progenitors of the Fifth Root Race. They remained entirely apart from the rest of humanity (SD I:207). See SONS OF THE FIRE MIST.
