छन्दोदर्शनम्
He indeed became the whole universe. He who could expand infinitely was only one, but spread apace Himself in multi-million forms. He is the very power of intelligence and of life, and he is full of knowledge. I attain Him, the Purusha, by penance and by the powers of meditation.

COMMENTARY-SUMMARY TRANSLATION
He is Purusha the supreme. He manifested Himself in the form of this multifarious visible universe. He is the inner soul, who pervades everything and is Brahma himself. He was all alone, but He spread Himself all round with name and form, which are innumerable. He is immortal, and has no birth or death. He is the Truth and Life as He Himself is Existence. He is supreme knowledge itself. I attain that Purusha by Tapas, by meditation and I become one with him with all my powers of intelligence.

He, indeed, knows all these worlds. By the power of knowledge in the form of mantra, He created all these worlds. He entered into the very soul of all things and all living beings inside out. I attain that Purusha, by penance and meditative powers.
