Chapter 1 — First Khanda

Subala

6 Shloka • Translation Only

The Unqualified Brahman: They say - ‘What existed?’ He replied ‘Neither the existent nor the non-existent'.

From that Tamas (darkness) was born; from Tamas was born Bhutadi (Prakriti - Matter), from it space, from space air, from air fire, from fire water and from water earth.

This became the Egg, which existing for just a year became two-fold - earth below and sky above. Between was Divine Man with a thousand heads, eyes, feet and arms (Viratpurusha).

He at first created the death of all creatures, having three eyes, heads and feet, armed with an axe.

Brahma was afraid - he entered Brahma himself, he created seven mental sons - they created seven Virats, the pro-creators (Prajapati).

His face was Brahmana (ascetics), arms were made into Kshatriya (warriors), thighs became the Vaishya (businessmen), Sudra (labours) was born from the feet, air and vital air (Prana) from his ear, all this is from his heart.
