These very worlds came into being. Following that, the directions were created. Then, because he uttered: 'karaj janad vṛdhat,' these very worlds came into being. Following that, the seasons were created. He said: 'These indeed have been (sad) mine.' Those very [words] became the months. Following that, the seasons were created. He said: 'These indeed have been mine.' Those very [words] became the months. 'Prosper (ṛddhiṣva)!'—those became the half-months. 'I have succeeded (ahamarātsam), I have shone (oṣam)'—that he said 'aham' (I), those became the days; that he said 'arātsam' (I have succeeded), those became the nights; that he said 'oṣam' (I have shone), those became the dawns.

He considered: 'This threefold Veda that I have emitted—come, let me create from it!'
