When the time of dissolution had passed, at the end of the fourth thousand ages, when the unmanifest and the dissolution of all beings had come, with moving and unmoving gone, devoid of light, earth and wind, in sinless darkness, in a world of one ocean of water, called only "darkness," in a second-less state, neither in night nor in day, neither being nor non-being, neither manifest nor unmanifest established: in this state, from Narayana, the refuge of qualities, imperishable, ageless, senseless, ungraspable, unborn, true, harmless, auspicious, of varied activities, imperishable, unageing and deathless, formless, all-pervading, maker of all, eternal darkness, the Person, Hari the unchanging, appeared.

येन यस्मिन्नधीकारे वर्तितव्यं पितामह परिपाल्य: कथं तेन साहंकारेण कर्तृणा
English
At the appearance of Brahma, lotus-born, of that Person born of darkness, that Person, wishing to create creatures, created Agni and Soma from his eyes. Then, when the creation of beings proceeded, in the sequence of creatures came brahmanas and kshatriyas. What is Soma is Brahman; what is Brahman are brahmanas; what is Agni is kshatra; and from kshatra Brahman is stronger. Why? This is a quality evident to the world: no being higher than brahmanas was born before. He offers in the kindled fire; therefore I say: the creation of beings was made by Brahma, and the three worlds are held by establishing beings.

English
There is a mantra: "You, Agni, are the hotri of all sacrifices, placed by gods and men among all people"; and here is the illustration: "Agni, hotri of all sacrifices, placed by gods and men in the world"; for Agni is the hotri, maker of sacrifices, and that Agni is Brahman.
अध्याय १२

हिन्दी अर्थ
महापुरुषमव्यक्तं स नो वक्ष्यति यद्धितम्
English
For without mantra there is no oblation, nor without the Person austerity; the offering and worship of the mantras are for gods and men; by this, "You are the hotri," he is appointed. And the offices of hotri that men hold belong to the brahmana; sacrificing for others is laid down not for kshatriyas and vaishyas, the twice-born. Therefore brahmanas, having become Agni, carry the sacrifices; sacrifices satisfy the gods; the gods nourish the earth.

In the Shatapatha Brahmana it is said: "He offers in the kindled fire who, being learned, offers a gift-oblation in a brahmana's mouth." So too learned brahmanas, become Agni, nourish Agni; Agni is Vishnu, who enters all beings and sustains their breaths. Here also there are verses sung by Sanatkumara:

The region last spoken of is without any fear (of change for the worse), uncreate (and therefore, in its true nature), without pain of any kind (such as ignorance and delusion), without any agreeable or disagreeable element, beyond the reach of the three attributes (of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas), freed from the eight incidents, (viz., the five primal elements, the senses, the: mind, and the intellect), without the three (distinctions

Time (in his forms of past, present, and future) arises there for use. Time is not the ruler there. That supreme region is the ruler of Time as also of Heaven. That Reciter who becomes identified with his Soul (by withdrawing everything into it) goes thither. He has, after this, never to feel any sorrow. This region is called Supreme. The other regions (of which I have first spoken) are hell. I have not told thee of all those regions that are called hell. Indeed, in comparison with that foremost of regions all the others are called hell.'

The Vedas, Puranas and Itihasas are authorities, issued from Narayana's mouth; brahmanas are the self of all, makers of all, nourishers of all. For brahmanas first appeared together with the speech of that boon-giving god, and from brahmanas the other classes appeared. And thus brahmanas are distinguished among gods and asuras, when long ago I myself, having become Brahman, produced them; gods, asuras and great sages, distinct beings, were established and restrained.

He muttered mantras, and by those mantras the three-headed one grew; with one mouth he drank the Soma well offered by priests at sacrifices in all worlds, with another that of the gods with Indra. Then Indra, seeing him growing, all his limbs fed by the drinking of Soma, fell into worry.

वसिष्ठश्न महात्मा वै मनु: स्वायम्भुवस्तथा वेदवेदाडसंयुक्तान् यज्ञान् यज्ञाड्संयुतान्
English
By Daksha's curse, consumption entered Soma the king. Seized by consumption, he went to Daksha, and Daksha said, "You do not behave equally." The sages said to Soma, "You are wasting by consumption; in the western direction in the ocean is the sacred bathing-place Hiranyasaras; go there and bathe." Soma went to the tirtha Hiranyasaras and bathed himself, and freed himself of sin. Because Soma shone there, from then the tirtha became famous by the name Prabhasa. By that curse even now Soma wanes, standing at the new moon, and at the full moon shows his body covered by a line of cloud, taking a colour like a cloud; so his hare-mark became spotless.

The great sage Sthulashiras practised austerity in the north-east direction of Meru. As he practised austerity, a pure wind bearing every scent blew and touched his body. His body heated by austerity, lean, fanned by the wind, he reached heart's content. For him, so pleased by the fanning of the wind, the trees at once did not show the beauty of flowers; so he cursed them, "You will not be in flower at all times."

Listen to me as to what occurred, and what was the conversation that took place between them, and the place where it happened. There was a certain Brahmana of great fame and pious behaviour. He was a Reciter. Possessed of great wisdom, he was conversant with the six Angas (of the Vedas). He was of the Kusika race and son of Pippalada. 2 He acquired (by his austerities) spiritual insight into the Angas. 3 Residing at the foot of Himavat, he was devoted to the Vedas. Silently reciting the Gayatri composition, he practised severe austerities for attaining to Brahma. A thousand years passed over his head while he was engaged in the observance of vows and fasts. The goddess (of Gayatri or Savitri) showed herself to him and said, 'I am gratified with thee.' Continuing to recite the sacred mantra, the Brahmana remained silent and spoke not a word to the goddess. The goddess felt compassion for him and became highly gratified. Then that progenitrix of the Vedas applaud that recitation in which the Brahmana had been engaged. After finishing his recitation (for that day) the Brahmana stood up and, bending his head, prostrated himself before the goddess's feet. The righteous-souled Reciter, addressing the goddess, said, 'By good luck, O goddess, thou hast been gratified with me and shown thyself to me. If, indeed, thou art gratified with me, the boon I ask is that my heart

"Savitri said, 'What dost thou ask, O regenerate Rishil What wish of thine shall I accomplish? Tell me, O foremost of Reciters, everything will be as thou wishest.' Thus addressed by the goddess, the Brahmana, conversant with duties, replied, saying, 'Let my wish about continuing my recitations go on increasing every moment. Let also, O auspicious goddess, the absorption of my mind into Samadhi be more complete.' The goddess sweetly said, Let it be as thou wishest.' Desiring to do good to the Brahmana, the goddess once again addressed him, saying, 'Thou shalt not have to go to hell, i.e., thither where great Brahmanas go. Thou shalt go into the region of Brahma which is uncreate and free from every fault. I go hence, but that which thou hast asked me shall happen. 1 Go on reciting with restrained soul and rapt attention. The god Dharma will in person come to thee. Time, Mrityu. and Yama also will all approach thy presence. There will be a dispute here between them and thee on a question of morality.'
