THE MANIFEST WORLD OF MATTER
tripAd Urdhva udait purusha: I pAdo 'syehAbhavatpuna: tato vishva.n vyakrAmat | SASanAnaSane abhi || 4 ||
Above this world is three quarters of Purusha, But the quarter, which is in this world, Appears again and again, And from that is born the beings that take food, And those inanimate ones that don't take food. And all these appeared for every one of us to see.
Above this manifested material world are the other three worlds. This material world consists of both organic living and the inorganic non-living.
