Sūta said: The heaven is the head of Lord, the sky.[2] is his umbilicus, the moon, sun and fire are his eyes, the quarters are his ears. The nether worlds constitute his feet, the ocean is his cloth, Devas are his arms, the constellations are his ornaments, Prakṛti is his wife, Puruṣa is his Liṅga. From his face[3] issued forth all the Brahmins, Brahmā, Indra, and Viṣṇu. The Kṣatriyas issued from his arms. The Vaiśyas issued from his thighs and Śūdras from his feet. Puṣkala Āvartaka and other clouds are his hairs. The winds are born of his nose. The Śruti and Smṛti texts constitute his gait.
