Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 10.2.1

AVŚ 10.2.1

केन पार्ष्णी आभृते पूरुषस्य केन मांसं संभृतं केन गुल्फौ । केनाङ्गुलीः पेशनीः केन खानि केनोच्छ्लङ्खौ मध्यतः कः प्रतिष्ठाम् ॥१॥

kena pārṣṇī ābhṛte pūruṣasya kena māṃsaṃ saṃbhṛtaṃ kena gulphau | kenāṅgulīḥ peśanīḥ kena khāni kenocchlaṅkhau madhyataḥ kaḥ pratiṣṭhām ||1||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

By whom were brought the two heels of a man (púruṣa)? by whom was his flesh put together? by whom his two ankle-joints (gulphá)? by whom his cunning (péçana) fingers? by whom his apertures? by whom his (two) uchlakhás in the midst? who [put together] his footing (pratiṣṭhā́)?
