c8.13

One such example is the myth dealing with the origin of the universe from the body of a primeval being, the First Great Man (puruṣa). According to Ṛgveda X, 90, the gods, in the beginning of time, took this primordial man and sacrificed him; they divided the victim; his head became heaven, his feet earth; his ears became space, his eyes the sun, his breath the Wind-god, and so on.
