The opening

FIRST KHANDA:

Adoration to the Highest Self Hari, Om!

Verily, in the beginning all this was Self, one only; there was nothing else blinking whatsoever.

He thought: ‘Shall I send forth worlds?’ He sent forth these worlds,

Ambhas (water), Mariki (light), Mara (mortal), and Ap (water).
