Om! He who knows Brahma, attains the highest! As to that this [verse] has been declared:—
He who knows Brahma as the real (satya), as knowledge (jñāna), as the infinite (ananta),
Set down in the secret place [of the heart], and in the highest heaven (parame vyoman),
He obtains all desires,
Together with the intelligent (vipaścit) Brahma.
From this Soul (Ātman), verily, space (ākāśa) arose; from space, wind (vāyu); from wind, fire; from fire, water; from water, the earth; from the earth, herbs; from herbs, food; from food, semen; from semen, the person (puruṣa).
This, verily, is the person that consists of the essence of food. This, indeed, is his head; this, the right side; this, the left
side; this, the body (_ātman_); this, the lower part, the foundation.
As to that there is also this verse:—
