evaṃbhūtāni sṛṣṭāni sthāvarāṇi carāṇi ca //

Mārkaṇḍeya spoke:
Then while he was meditating, mankind were begotten in his mind, together with their occupations, and implements which were produced from his body. Spirits in bodily form[1] were produced from the limbs of him, the wise god. All those whom I have already mentioned came into existence. All created beings from the gods down to those whose condition is stationary are known to be subject to the three qualities:[2] such was the constitution of created things, immoveable and moveable.
