And the 'Paramatma-Chaitanya' (The supreme consciousness) thought of 'Him' (the Purusha) and thus thought of 'Him', a face burst forth and appeared as in like an egg after hatching.
From the mouth came 'Speech' and 'Speech' generated fire.
The nostrils burst forth and came 'Prana' (Breath) from the nostrils and 'Prana' generated air.
Then the eyes burst open and from the eyes came 'Sight' and from 'Sight' the sun was born.
Then both the ears burst open, and the directions appeared from the ears through 'Hearing' and 'Hearing' generated regions.
The skin burst and appeared and from the skin came hairs and hairs produced herbs of healing and all the trees and plants were born.
