The going out by holding the mind in yoga; the conversation of Narada and the unborn one; the song that follows the descents; and, before them, the creation made of the ground. The conversation of Vidura and Uddhava, and then of the Ksatta and Maitreya; the question about the collection of the old telling; and how the great Person stands. Then the creation out of nature, and the seven that come of change; then the coming to be of the egg of Brahma, out of which came the Person of the vast form.

The going of time, gross and subtle; the rising out of the lotus; the lifting of the earth out of the water, and how Hiranyaksa was killed. The creation of what goes up, across and down; and the creation of Rudra; then the lord who is half woman, from whom came Svayambhuva Manu; and Satarupa, who is the first and highest nature of women; the offspring of the wives of Dharma; the line of Kardama the lord of creatures; the descent of the Bhagavan as Kapila, great of soul, and the conversation of Devahuti with the thoughtful Kapila;
