Jaiminīya (Talavakāra) Brāhmaṇa 58.343

Having placed the moon in this world as a substitute, he ascended upward with the twenty-onefold [stoma]. He went to where Āditya is. There he created the All-Gods. He created the end. These [creatures] followed along and rushed upon him. They resolved to eat him. He considered: 'Come, let me ascend upward.' Having placed Āditya in this world as a substitute, he ascended upward with the twenty-sevenfold [stoma]. He went to where Varuṇa is. There he did not create anything. They followed him. They resolved to eat him. He considered: 'Come, let me ascend upward.'

Having placed Varuṇa in this world as a substitute, he ascended upward with the thirty-threefold [stoma].

He went to where Death is.

There Death came into being.

He made his limbs into a mouth.

Following after him who had become Death facing every direction, they merely sat looking on, not daring [to approach].

They did not eat him there.

He considered: 'I am indeed evil, who am Death.

Come, let me step upward.'

Having placed Death as a substitute in this world, he stepped upward with the twenty-four [syllabled meter].

He went to where this world named Rocana is.

Then he became hunger.

Fearing him who had become hunger, they did not follow after [him].
