Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
For the Self-existent (Svayambhu), having performed austerities, produced him first from his own mouth, in order that the offerings might be conveyed to the gods and manes and that this universe might be preserved.
Translated by Georg Bühler
