This universe was flooded with water
at that time (of creation) ; and lying on
those waters, on the bed of the great
serpent, the one Being of never-closing
eyes, closed His eyes (in mystic sleep),
bereft of any yearning and choosing
to revel in the bliss of His own self.

सोऽन्तइशरीरेऽर्पितभूतसूक्ष्मः
उवास तस्मिन्सलिले पदे स्वे ।
तस्यान्तरर्थो रजसा तनीयान्
सूष्यंस्तदाऽभिद्यत नाभिदेशात् ॥
 
Enwombing the subtle essence of all
things within His body, He dwelt on
those waters which formed His abode.
The very subtle principle within Him,
desiring to evolve as a result of the active
quality, burst forth at that time through
his navel.
