| 121.
On the moon as one with the internal organ, on the quarters of the
horizon as one with his sense of hearing, on Vishnu as one with his
(power of) motion, on Hara as the same with his strength, on Agni
(Fire) as identical with his speech, on Mitra as identical with his
excretions, and on Pragapati as one with his organ of generation. 122.
Let him know the supreme Male (Purusha, to be) the sovereign ruler
of them all, smaller even than small, bright like gold, and
perceptible by the intellect (only when) in (a state of) sleep (like
abstraction). 123.
Some call him Agni (Fire), others Manu, the Lord of creatures,
others Indra, others the vital air, and again others eternal
Brahman. 124.
He pervades all created beings in the five forms, and constantly
makes them, by means of birth, growth and decay, revolve like the
wheels (of a chariot). 125.
He who thus recognises the Self through the Self in all created
beings, becomes equal (minded) towards all, and enters the highest
state, Brahman. 126.
A twice-born man who recites these Institutes, revealed by Manu,
will be always virtuous in conduct, and will reach whatever
condition he desires.
