1a sahásraśīrṣā púruṣaḥ sahasrākṣáḥ sahásrapāt
c sá bhûmiṃ viśváto vṛtvâty atiṣṭhad daśāṅgulám
a sahásraśīrṣā púruṣaḥ b sahasrākṣáḥ sahásrapāt
c sá bhûmim viśvátaḥ vṛtvâ d áti atiṣṭhat daśāṅgulám
"A thousand heads hath Purusa, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet.
On every side pervading earth he fills a space ten fingers wide."
2a púruṣa evédáṃ sárvaṃ yád bhūtáṃ yác ca bhávyam
c utâmṛtatvásyéśāno yád ánnenātiróhati
a púruṣaḥ evá idám sárvam b yát bhūtám yát ca bhávyam
c utá amṛtatvásya îśānaḥ d yát ánnena atiróhati
"This Purusa is all that yet hath been and all that is to be;
The Lord of Immortality which waxes greater still by food."
