The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣadbhāṣyam

Verse 43

स नैव व्यभवत्स शौद्रं वर्णमसृजतपूषणमियं वै पूषेयँ हीदँ सर्वं पुष्यति

In plain words

Even then, Brahman did not expand fully. It then projected forth the laboring class as Pūṣan, the nourisher. For this earth itself is Pūṣan, because it nourishes all that exists.

Close to the Sanskrit

That indeed did not expand. He projected forth the śūdra class, Pūṣan. This earth verily is Pūṣan, for this nourishes all this.
