" The Supreme Lord's universal form has a thousand heads, a thousand
eyes, and a thousand feet, for He contains all living entities. Having pervaded
the universe completely to give it existence, and being independent, He
extended Himself beyond the universe by ten fingers. "
purua eveda sarva yad bhta yac ca bhavyam /

utmtatvasyeno yad annentirohati // 2 //
" The universes past, present, and future are but manifestations of
the Supreme Lord's purua expansion. Though He is the Lord of immortality, ha
has manifested Himself as the purua in the universe so that the jvas may
enjoy material fruits. "

pdo 'sya viv bhtni tri-pdasymta divi // 3 //
" The past, present, and future universes are manifestations of the
Lord's powers, but the Lord Himself is much greater. All the living beings of the
universe are but one quater portion, and the eternal nature in the spiritual sky
exists in three quarters portion. "
tri-pd rdhva udait prua pdo 'syehbhavat puna /

tato viva vyakrmat sannaane abhi // 4 //
" The three quarters portion of the Lord transcended the material
portion. The Lord in the one quarter manifested the universe agani, as He had
done repeatedly before. The Lord of the one quarter portion began the work of
creation, by going all around, taking the form of all animate and inanimate
objects. "
tasmd vir ajyata virjo adhi prua /

sa jto atyaricyata pacd bhmim atho pura // 5 //
" From the Lord, the universe was born, and in that universe was born
the vir-purua, the Supersoul of the universe. The the vir-purua grew and
produced the earth and the bodies of the jvas. "

vasanto 'sysd jya grma idhma arad dhavi // 6 //
" The devats, the first beings manifested, performed a mental sacrifice
to complete the creation. For this sacrifice they used the vir-purua [the raw
ingredients of the material world] as the offering. Spring was the ghee,
summer the fuel-wood, and autumn the offering. "
saptsysan paridhayas tri sapta samidha kt /

dev yad yaja tanvn abadhnan purua paum // 7 //
" In this sacrifice the blades of kua grass strewn around the fire [for
protection from rkasas] were seven [the seven Vedic poetic metres], and the
fuel sticks were twenty-one [twelve months, five seasons, three worlds, and
the sun]. The devats who performed the mental sacrifice tied the vir-purua
to offer Him as the sacrificial animals. "
ta yaja barhii praukan purua jtam agrata /

tena dev ayajanta sdhy aya ca ye // 8 //
" The devats, sdhyas, and is placed the vir-purua, the first being
of the universe, on kua grass and sprinkled Him with water for purification. In
this way they conducted the mental sacrifice using the vir-purua. "
tasmd yajt sarva-hta sambhta pad-jyam /

pas t cakre vyavyn ray grmy ca ye // 9 //
" From that sacrifice where everthing in the universe was sacrificed,
yogurt and ghee and indeed, all nourishing foods were produced. It
created the animals of the air, forest, and village. "
tasmd yajt sarva-hta ca smni jajire /

chandsi jajire tasmd yajus tasmd ajyata // 10 //
" From that ultimate sacrifice, or sarva-huta, were born the k [hymns],
sma [music], and yajus [prose] portions of the Vedas, along with the seven
Vedic metres. "
tasmd av ajyanta ye ke cobhaydata /

gvo ha jajire tasmt tasmj jt ajvaya // 11 //
" Horses were born from the sacrifice, along with animals with two sets
of teeth, such as donkeys and mules. Cows were also born from the sacrifice,
along with goats and sheep. "
yat purua vyadadhu katidh vyakalpayan /

mukha kim asya kau bh kv r pd ucyete // 12 //
" In the mental sacrifice, when they divided up the vir-purua, how
many parts did they divide? What is stated about His face, arms, thighs, and
feet? "
brhmao 'sya mukham sd bh rjanya kta /

r tad asya yad vaiya padbhy dro ajyata // 13 //
" The brhmaas arose from the face [of the vir-purua ], the katriyas
from His two arms, the vaiyas from His thighs, and the dras from His feet. "
candram manaso jta cako sryo ajyata /

mukhd indra cgni ca prd ajyata // 14 //
" His mind gave rise to the moon; His two eyes, the sun; His breath,
Vyu; and His mouth, Indra and Agni. "

padbhy bhmir dia rotrt tath lokn akalpayan // 15 //
" From His navel arose the space between earth and heaven; from His
head, the heavens; from His feet, the earth; and from His ears, the directions.
In this way the worlds were created. "

" I know that great vir-purua , as effulgent as the sun, who stands
beyond the darkness of the material creation. Having given all the living
entities their forms and names, He directs their affairs. "
dht purastd yam udajahra

akra pravidvn pradia catasra /
tam eva vidvn amta iha bhavati
nnya panth ayanya vidyate // 17 //
" Brahm explained his realization to Indra. Indra, who knows all the
living entities in all four directions, explained it to all others. One who knows
the nature of the vir-purua becomes immortal even in his life on earth.
There is no other path to reach the goal of immortality. "
yajena yajam ayajanta devs

tni dharmi prathamny san /
te ha nka mahimna sacante
yatra prve sdhy santi dev // 18 //
" In this way the devats conducted the mental sacrifice using the virpurua to manifest variety in the world. By that sacrifice both the physical laws
of nature and the first spiritual codes of conduct arose. The great souls, by
similar mental worship, attain the place of immortality where dwell the
sdhyas and devats, the first worshipers. "
