Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 10.2.28

AVŚ 10.2.28

ऊर्ध्वो नु सृष्टा३स् तिर्यङ् नु सृष्टा३स् सर्वा दिशः पुरुष आ बभूवा३ं । पुरं यो ब्रह्मणो वेद यस्याः पुरुष उच्यते ॥२८॥

ūrdhvo nu sṛṣṭā3s tiryaṅ nu sṛṣṭā3s sarvā diśaḥ puruṣa ā babhūvā3ṃ | puraṃ yo brahmaṇo veda yasyāḥ puruṣa ucyate ||28||

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

Was he now created upward (ūrdhvá)? [or] was he now created crosswise? did man grow unto (ā-bhū) all the quarters?—he who knoweth the bráhman's stronghold, from which man is [so] called.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
