Bhūtasarga-Prakaraṇa
Account of Elemental Creation from Avyakta to Mahat
अजाय प्रथमायैव वरिष्ठाय प्रजासृजे / ब्रह्मणे लोकतन्त्राय नमस्कृत्य स्वयंभुवे
ajāya prathamāyaiva variṣṭhāya prajāsṛje / brahmaṇe lokatantrāya namaskṛtya svayaṃbhuve
Having bowed to Brahmā—the Unborn, the First and Best, creator of beings and upholder of the world’s order, the Self-born—(I proceed to speak).
