Puruṣaikatva-vyākhyāna: The One Virāṭ Puruṣa and the Many ‘Puruṣas’

Rudra–Brahmā Saṃvāda

Devanagari script

सुरपक्षो गृहीतस्ते यस्मात्‌ तस्माद्‌ दिवः पत

Translation

Sinabi ng mga pantas: “O hari, bagaman batid mo na ang ‘aja’ ay nangangahulugang pagkain/butil, kumampi ka pa rin sa mga diyos. Kaya bumagsak ka mula sa langit. Mula sa araw na ito, napawi na ang kapangyarihan mong makapaglakbay sa himpapawid; sa bagsik ng aming sumpa, mabibiyak mo ang lupa at papasok sa Pātāla (daigdig sa ilalim).”
