Verse 49

⁴³He set the pot down in the forest and went home; and as he turned it over in his mind that night, the Treta age having come in, the threefold Veda arose in him. ⁴⁴He went to the place of the pot and saw there an asvattha grown in the womb of a sami tree. Out of that wood he made two fire-sticks, wanting the world where Urvasi is. ⁴⁵By the mantra the mighty one held Urvasi in mind as the lower stick and himself as the upper, and what lay between the two as the begetting. ⁴⁶From the churning of that was born the knower of all that is born, the fire that shines out; and by the threefold knowledge the king made him a son, in his three forms.

⁴⁷With that fire he worshipped the lord of sacrifice, the Bhagavan beyond the reach of the senses, Hari who is made of all the gods, seeking the world where Urvasi is. ⁴⁸In the beginning the Veda was one only, the syllable that carries all speech; the god was Narayana and no other; there was one fire, and one class of men. ⁴⁹It was from Pururavas that the threefold Veda came, at the mouth of the Treta age, king. By that fire, and by that son, the king went to the world of the gandharvas.
