Pradhāna (primal matter) and Puruṣa (spirit) — that which is eternal, having the nature of both being and non-being. Becoming pradhāna and puruṣa, the maker of the worlds fashioned (all this). He too, the self-existent Lord, wishing to bring forth creatures of many kinds, first created the waters, and cast his generative seed into them. (Thence) are born those devoted to ritual action, adorned by (the presence of) great seers; and lightnings, the thunderbolt, clouds, and rainbows.
