Rig Veda 10.11

यत्पुरुषं व्यदधुः कतिधा व्यकल्पयन् । मुखं किमस्य कौ बाहू का ऊरू पादा उच्येते ॥

yat purusham vyadadhuh katidha vyakalpayan | mukham kim asya kau bahu ka uru pada uchyete

When they divided the Cosmic Being, into how many parts did they apportion him? What was his mouth? What were his arms? What were his thighs and feet called?

जब उन्होंने पुरुष का विभाजन किया — तब उसे कितने भागों में विभाजित किया? उसका मुख क्या था, उसकी भुजाएँ क्या, उसकी जंघाएँ और पाद किसे कहा गया?
