स पञ्चावयवः पश्चाद्राजते पुरुषो विराट् ।
अनन्ताकारसंवित्तिरव्यक्तात्मा निरामयः ॥ १६ ॥

sa pañcāvayavaḥ paścādrājate puruṣo virāṭ |
anantākārasaṃvittiravyaktātmā nirāmayaḥ || 16 ||

Then the Purusha or first male power known as Virat, manifests himself in five other forms said to be the members of his person; and these are the sun, the sides, water, air, and the land, which are the objects of five senses said before. He then becomes of endless forms according to the infinity of objects of his knowledge (i.e. the thoughts in this mind). He is thus manifested in his objective forms, but is quite unknown to us in his subjective or causal form, which is unchangeable and undecaying.
