40The Sodasi and the Ukthya from his eastern mouth; then the Purisya and the Agnistut; the Aptoryama and the Atiratra; and the Vajapeya with the Gosava. 41Learning, giving, austerity and truth: these are the feet of dharma. And he made the stages of life, each in its number, together with the ways of living that belong to them. 42The Savitra, the Prajapatya, the Brahma and the Brhat; and for the household, trade, gathering, taking what comes, and gleaning what is left in the field. 43In the forest, the Vaikhanasas, the Valakhilyas, the Audumbaras and the Phenapas; and in renunciation, the Kuticaka first, then the Bahvoda, the Hamsa and the Niskriya.
44The art of reasoning, the threefold Veda, trade, and the rule of punishment; and so the great utterances came to be; and the syllable Om out of the small space in his heart.
