Lokakalpanā / The Ordering of the Worlds
Cosmogony and Earth’s Retrieval
प्राणाद्दक्षो ऽसृजद्वाचं चक्षुर्भ्यां च मरीचिनम् / भृगुश्च हृदयाज्जज्ञे ऋषिः सलिलयोनिनः
prāṇāddakṣo 'sṛjadvācaṃ cakṣurbhyāṃ ca marīcinam / bhṛguśca hṛdayājjajñe ṛṣiḥ salilayoninaḥ
From prāṇa Dakṣa created Vāk, the sacred Speech; from the eyes, Marīci; and from the heart was born the Ṛṣi Bhṛgu, whose womb is water.
