7.5.1.5
sa yatkūrmo nāma | etadvai rūpaṃ kṛtvā prajāpatiḥ prajā asṛjata yadasṛjatākarottadyadakarottasmātkūrmaḥ kaśyapo vai kūrmastasmādāhuḥ sarvāḥ prajāḥ kāśyapya iti
And as to its being called 'kûrma' (tortoise);Pragâpati, having assumed that form, created living beings. Now what he created, he made; and inasmuch as he made (kar), he is (called) 'kûrma;' and 'kûrma' being (the same as) 'kasyapa' (a tortoise), therefore all creatures are said to be descended from Kasyapa.
