अहं भवान्भवश्चैव त इमे मुनयो ऽग्रजाः ।
सुरासुरनरा नागाः खगा मृगसरीसृपाः ।
गन्धर्वाप्सरसो यक्षा रक्षोभूतगणोरगाः ।
पशवः पितरः सिद्धा विद्याध्राश्चारणा द्रुमाः ।
अन्ये च विविधा जीवा जलस्थलनभौकसः ।
ग्रहर्क्षकेतवस्तारास् तडितःस्तनयित्नवः ।
सर्वं पुरुष एवेदं भूतं भव्यं भवच्च यत् ।
तेनेदमावृतं विश्वं वितस्तिमधितिष्ठति ॥ १६ ॥
