From that Purusha thus born of Tamas and having Brahma for his parent, came into existence the Being called Brahman. Brahman, wishing to create creatures caused Agni and Soma to originate from his own own eyes. Afterwards when creatures were to be created, the ceated persons came out in their due order as Brahmanas and Kshatriyas. He who came into being as Soma was none else than Brahma; and they that were born as Brahmanas were all Soma in sooth. He who came into Being as Agni was none else than Kshatriya. The Brahmanas became gifted with greater energy than the Kshatriyas. If you enquire about the reason thereof, the answer is that this superiority of the Brahmanas to the Kshatriyas is an attribute which is manifest to the whole world. It occurred as follows. The Brahmanas represent the eldest creation amonst men. None were created before who were superior to the Brahmanas. He who offers food into the mouth of a Brahmana is considered as pouring libations into a burning fire. I say that having arranged things thus, the creation of creatures was accomplished by Brahman. Having established all created beings in their respective positions, he keeps us the three worlds. There is a similar declaration in the Mantras of the Shrutis.
