सत्त्वमेव वपुः पूर्वमुदितं ब्रह्मणः पदात् ।
अयमेव स संपन्नो योऽद्य तामसतामसः ॥ १० ॥

sattvameva vapuḥ pūrvamuditaṃ brahmaṇaḥ padāt |
ayameva sa saṃpanno yo'dya tāmasatāmasaḥ || 10 ||

There arose at first the pure (satya) personality of the impersonal and universal spirit of God (Brahma), in the person of the creative power known under the title of Brahma. This personal god assumed to himself the appellation of ego from his will of creation, and the undivided spirit, was divided into many impure personalities (rajasa and tamasa), from its desire of becoming many.
