यत् पुरुषं व्य् अदधुः कतिधा व्य् अकल्पयन् । मुखं किम् अस्य किम् बाहू किम् ऊरू पादा उच्यते ॥५॥
yat puruṣaṃ vy adadhuḥ katidhā vy akalpayan | mukhaṃ kim asya kim bāhū kim ūrū pādā ucyate ||5||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
When they divided Purusa how many portions did they make? What do they call his mouth, his arms? What do they call his thighs and feet?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 10.90.11; the wording of this text may differ in places.
