Verily Dadhyak Âtharvana proclaimed this honey to the two Asvins, and a Rishi, seeing this, said: 'He (the Lord) made bodies with two feet, he made bodies with four feet. Having first become a bird, he entered the bodies as purusha (as the person).' This very purusha is in all bodies the purisaya, i.e. he who lies in the body (and is therefore called purusha). There is nothing that is not covered by him, nothing that is not filled by him.

यही वह मधु है जिसे दध्यङ् आथर्वण ने दोनों अश्विनीकुमारों को बताया था। इसे देखते हुए ऋषि ने कहा: 'उसने दो पैरों वाले पुर (शरीर) बनाए, चार पैरों वाले पुर बनाए; वह पुरुष पक्षी (लिंग-शरीर) बनकर पहले पुरों में प्रविष्ट हुआ।' वही यह पुरुष सब पुरों (शरीरों) में पुरिशय (बसने वाला) है। ऐसा कुछ भी नहीं जो इससे ढका न हो, ऐसा कुछ भी नहीं जिसमें यह व्याप्त न हो।
