Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Âditya (the sun) is Brahman, this is the doctrine, and this is the fuller account of it:— In the beginning this was non-existent. It be came existent, it grew. It turned into an egg. The egg lay for the time of a year. The egg broke open. The two halves were one of silver, the other of gold.
Translated by F. Max Müller
