All the gods, and all the Rishis, gifted with tranquil souls, occupying their places on the altar, dedicate to Him the first share of their sacrificial offerings. I that am Brahman, the primeval master of all creatures, have come into being from Him, and you have sprung from me. From me has originated the universe with all its mobile and immobile creatures, and all the Vedas, O son, with their mysteries.
देवाः सर्वे मुनयः साधु शान्तास्तं प्राग्वंशे यज्ञभागैर्यजन्ते। अहं ब्रह्मा आद्य ईशः प्रजानां तस्माज्जातस्त्वं च मत्तः प्रसूतः॥ मत्तो जगज्जङ्गमं स्थावरं च सर्वे वेदाः सरहस्या हि पुत्र॥
