Even as he was meditating, three hundred years passed and then the four Vedas of beautiful appearance1 stood in front of him. Their eyes were resplendent like the petals of the lotus. Their heads were embellished with matted hair like coronets. Sacred Ku£a grass was held in the fists of their lotus-like hands. Their shoulders were adorned with deer skin. The splendour of their mouths was heightened by means of the sixteen Svara (vowel) sounds intersprsed with Pranaua (Om) • Their hands with five fingers to each were constituted by the letters of the guttural and the palatal classes of consonants. Their right legs were constituted by the labial class consonants and the left legs consisted of the letters of the dental. The sides of their belly were constituted of intermediate and last consonants (of each group). The letter Na constituted their navels. Their backs were refulgent (The letters ending with Ka constituted their backs ) . The letter Ma was their stomach. The letters Yay Ray La and Va were their tied up hair (tresses). Agnibija ( the seed-like Mantra of Agni) shone in their right shoulders. The Dhara ( Bija) (the seed-like Mantra of the earth ) was their neck and the Bhrta (? Mantra) shone on their (left) shoulders.
