The Purusa (the Supreme Being) has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes and a thousand feet. He has enveloped this world from all sides and has (even) transcended it by ten angulas or inches.

The ViratPurusa manifested Himself from out of (the all-pervading) water as also the essence of the element of earth. This ViratPurusa was born out of the greatness of the ParamaPurusa, the Creator.
