Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Prajāpati (the lord of creatures) milked out (as it were) from the three Vedas the sounds A, U, and M, and (the Vyahmis) BhM, Bhuva^, Sva^. yy. Moreover from the three Vedas Prajāpati, who dwells in the highest heaven (Parameṣṭhin), milked out (as it were) that iv^'k-verse, sacred to Savitrz (Savitri), which begins with the word tad, one foot from each.
