Preview of English translation:
4. The gods, sons of Aditi, then spake, “That which was born after us must not be lost: come, let us fashion it.” They accordingly fashioned it as this man is fashioned. The flesh which was cut off him, and thrown down in a lump, became the elephant: hence they say that one must not accept an elephant (as a gift), since the elephant has sprung from man. Now he whom they thus fashioned was Vivasvat, the Aditya (or the sun); and of him (came) these creatures.
