On every side pervading earth he fills a space ten fingers wide.\n\nHe with three quarters rose to heaven here reappeared a fourth of him. Thence he strode forth on every side to all that eats not and that eats.\n\nSo mighty is his grandeur, yea, greater than this is Purusha. All creatures are one-fourth of him, three-fourths what dieth not in heaven.\n\nPurusha is in truth this All, what hath been and what yet shall; be Lord, too, of immortality—and what hath grown with some- what else.\n\nWhen they divided Purusha how many portions did they make? What was his mouth? what were his arms? what are the names of thighs and feet?\n\nThe Brāhman was his mouth, of both his arms was the Rājanya made. His waist became the Vaisya, from his feet the Sūdra was produced.\n\nThe Moon was gendered from his mind, and from his eye the Sun had birth. Indra and Agni from his mouth were born and Vāyu from his breath.\n\nForth from his navel come mid-air; the sky was fashioned from his head. Earth from his feet, and from his ear the regions. Thus they formed the worlds.\n\nIn the beginning rose Virāj: Purusha from Virāj was born. As soon as he was born he spread westward and eastward o'er the earth.\n\nWhen Gods performed the sacrifice with Purusha as their offering. Spring was the butter, summer was the fuel, autumn was the gift.\n\nThat sacrifice, first-born Purusha, they hallowed with the sprink- led Rains. The Deities, the Sādhyas, all the Vasus sacrificed with him.\n\nFrom it were horses born, from it all creatures with two rows of teeth. From it were generated kine, from it were goats and sheep produced.\n\nFrom that great general sacrifice Richas and Sāma hymns were born; Therefrom the metres were produced: the Yajus had its birth from it.\n\nFrom that great general sacrifice the dripping fat was gathered up: It formed the creatures fleet as wind, and animals both wild and tame.\n\nSeven fencing-logs had he, thrice seven layers of fuel were prepared. When, offering sacrifice, the Gods bound as their victim Purusha.\n\nForth from head of the high God seven-and-seventy bright beams. Sprang into being, of the King Soma produced from Purusha."

Still be our hearing, sight, and breath uninjured: let us lose nothing of our life and vigour.\n\nLet lively breath invite us: we call vital breath to visit us. Earth and air's middle realm have gathered, Soma, Brihaspati and Dhartar gathered vigour.\n\nThe earth and heaven have come to be two gatherers up of vigo- rous might. So let us gather vigour up and closely follow after Earth. With glory come the cows and stand beside the master of the herd. Let us when we have gathered fame and glory closely follow Earth.\n\nPrepare the cow-stall, for there drink your heroes: stitch ye the coats of armour wide and many. Make iron forts defying all assailants: let not your pitcher leak; stay it securely.\n\nThe eye of sacrifice, source and beginning with voice, car, spirit unto him I offer. To this our sacrifice, wrought by Visvakarman, may the Gods come gracious and kindly-hearted.\n\nLet the Gods' Priests and those who merit worship, to whom oblation as their share is offered, Come to this holy service with their Consorts, and all Gods revel in the food we bring them."
