TRANSLATION

While he was thus absorbed in contemplation and was observing the supernatural power, two other forms were generated from his body. They are still celebrated as the body of Brahma.

PURPORT

Two bodies came out from the body of Brahma. One had a moustache, and the other had swollen breasts. No one can explain the source of their manifestation, and therefore up until today they are known as the kayam, or the body of Brahma, with no indication of their relationship as his son or daughter.
