The Purusha rose up with three feet; one foot of him was here, and then again another. From that he strode forth, encompassing all, consuming the solid and the moving.

Three-fourths of Puruṣa ascended; the other fourth that remained in this world proceeds repeatedly,and, diversified in various forms, went to all animate and inanimate creation.

With three-fourths Purusa went up: onefourth of him again was here. Thence he strode out to every side over what cats not and what cats.
