Addressing Brahman, the Supreme Narayana said,—Do you, O son, create all kinds of creatures from your mouth and feet. O you of excellent vows, I shall do what will be good for you, for I shall impart to you both energy and strength sufficient to make you competent for this work.
सृज प्रजाः पुत्र सर्वा मुखतः पादतस्तथा। श्रेयस्तव विधास्यामि बलं तेजश्च सुव्रत॥
