1.2.1

tā etā devatāḥ sṛṣṭā asmin mahaty arṇave prāpatan.
tam aśanāpipāsābhyām anvavārjat.
tā enam abruvann āyatanaṃ naḥ prajānīhi.
yasmin pratiṣṭhitā annam adāmeti.

1. These divinities, having been created, fell headlong in this great restless sea. He visited it with hunger and thirst.

They [i. e. the divinities] said to him: 'Find out for us an abode wherein we may be established and may eat food.'

1.2.2

tābhyo gām ānayat.
tā abruvan na vai no 'yam alam iti.
tābhyo 'śvam ānayat.
tā abruvan na vai no 'yam alam iti.

2. He led up a bull to them. They said: 'Verily, this is not sufficient for us.'

He led up a horse to them. They said: 'Verily, this is not sufficient for us.'

1.2.3

tābhyaḥ puruṣam ānayat.
tā abruvan sukṛtaṃ bateti.
puruṣo vāva sukṛtam.
tā abravīd yathāyatanaṃ praviśateti.

3. He led up a person to them. They said: 'Oh! well done!'—Verily, a person is a thing well done.—

He said to them: 'Enter into your respective abodes.'

1.2.4

agnir vāg bhūtvā mukhaṃ prāviśat.
vāyuḥ prāṇo bhūtvā nāsike prāviśat.
ādityaś cakṣur bhūtvākṣiṇī prāviśat.
diśaḥ śrotraṃ bhūtvā karṇau prāviśan.
oṣadhivanaspatayo lomāni bhūtvā tvacaṃ prāviśan.
candramā mano bhūtvā hṛdayaṃ prāviśat.
mṛtyur apāno bhūtvā nābhiṃ prāviśat.
āpo reto bhūtvā śiśnaṃ prāviśan.

4. Fire became speech, and entered the mouth. Wind became breath, and entered the nostrils. The sun became sight, and entered the eyes. The quarters of heaven became hearing, and entered the ears. Plants and trees became hairs, and entered the skin. The moon became mind, and entered the heart. Death became the out-breath (_apāna_), and entered the navel. Waters became semen, and entered the virile member.

1.2.5

tam aśanāpipāse abrūtām avābhyām abhiprajānīhīti.
te abravīd etāsv eva vāṃ devatāsv ābhajāmy etāsu bhāginyau karomīti.
tasmād yasyai kasyai ca devatāyai havir gṛhyate bhāginyāv evāsyām aśanāpipāse bhavataḥ.

5. Hunger and thirst said to him [i. e. Ātman]: 'For us two also find out [an abode].'

Unto the two he said: 'I assign you two a part among these divinities. I make you two partakers among them.' Therefore to whatever divinity an oblation is made, hunger and thirst become partakers in it.
