brahmāṇamādipuruṣamutpatti-sthiti-saṃyame /
yatkāraṇamanaupamyaṃ yatra sarvaṃ pratiṣṭhitam //
Having paid adoration to the origin of the universe, unborn, changeless, the asylum, the upholder of the moveable and immoveable universe, the supreme object, Brahmā, the first male,—the cause which, itself unbegotten,[6] works in production , maintenance and dissolution, wherein everything is established—having paid adoration to him, Hiraṇyagarbha, the framework of the world, the wise, I will duly tell of the multitude of created things, matchless, great, primeval, formed for special ends, various in shape, possessing characteristics, ascertainable by the five standards of measure, possessing the five streams of life, governed by the soul, existent as if perpetual and temporary—listen thereto with sublime composure, illustrious Sir!
