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

'And I will declare to you one foot of Brahman.' 'Declare it, Sir,' he replied. He said to him; 'The eastern region is one quarter, the western region is one quarter, the southern region is one quarter, the northern region is one quarter. This is a foot of Brahman, consisting of the four quarters, and called Prakâsavat (endowed with splendour).'
