You are the first God, since You are the maker of the world; the Puruṣa, from His lying in the city; the ancient, the age-old. You alone are the supreme resting-place of this universe, that in which the whole world is set down at the great dissolution and the rest. Further, You are the knower, the one who knows the whole array of things to be known; and what is to be known, fit to be known, that too You are; and the supreme abode, the station that is Viṣṇu's. By You is the universe pervaded, O You of endless form; no end of Your forms is found. Further.

You are the first God, the ancient Person. You are the supreme resting-place of this universe: since the universe is laid up in you, you are the supreme resting-place of this universe; you alone are the supreme support of the universe, which is your body, by being its self. This is the meaning. In the world every knower and everything to be known is you alone; abiding thus as the self of all, you alone are the supreme abode, the supreme place, the place to be attained. This is the meaning. By you the universe is pervaded, of endless form; by you, as its self, the universe, the world mixed of the conscious and the unconscious, is pervaded. Therefore you alone are denoted by the words 'wind' and the rest. The Lord says this.
