of the joys of others, I raised the submerged Earth from the bottom of the ocean.  From this reason am I called by the name of Ekasringa.  While I assumed the form of mighty boar for this purpose, I had three humps on my back.  Indeed, in consequence of this peculiarity of my form at that time that I have come to be called by the name of Trikakud (three-humped).  Those who are conversant with the science propounded by Kapila call the Supreme Soul by the name of Virincha.  That Virincha is otherwise called the great Prajapati (or Brahman).  Verily I am identical with Him, called Virincha, in consequence of my imparting animation to all living creatures, for I am the Creator of the universe.  The preceptors of Sankhya philosophy, possessed of definite conclusions (regarding all topics), call me the eternal Kapila staying in the midst of the solar disc with but Knowledge for my companion.[1871] On Earth I am known to be identical with Him who has been sung in the Vedic verses as the effulgent Hiranyagarbha and who is always worshipped by Yogins.  I am regarded as the embodied form of the Rich Veda consisting of one and twenty thousand verses.  Persons conversant with the Vedas also call me the embodiment of the Samans of a thousand branches.  Even thus do learned Brahmans that are my devoted worshippers and that are very rare sing me in the Aranyakas.[1872] In the Adhyaryus I am sung as the Yajur-Veda of six and fifty and eight and seven and thirty branches.[1873] Learned Brahmans conversant with the Atharvans regard me as identical with the Atharvans consisting of five Kalpas and all the Krityas.[1874] All the sub-divisions that exist of the different Vedas in respect of branches and all the verses that compose those branches, and all the vowels that occur in those verses, and all the rules in respect of pronunciation, know, O Dhananjaya, are my work.  O Partha, he that rises (at the beginning of Creation from the Ocean of Milk at the earnest invocation of Brahmana and all the deities) and who gives diverse boons unto the diverse deities, is none else than myself.  I am He who is the repository of the science of syllables and pronunciation that is treated of in the supplementary portions of the Vedas.  Following the path pointed out by Vamadeva, the high-souled Rishi Panchala, through my grace, obtained from that eternal Being the rules in respect of the division of syllables and words (for reading the Vedas).  Indeed, Galava, born in the Vabhravya race, having attained to high ascetic success and obtained a boon from Narayana, compiled the rules in respect of the division of syllables and words (for reading the Vedas).  Indeed, Galava, born in the Vabhravya race, having attained to the high ascetic success and obtained a boon from Narayana, compiled the rules in respect of the division of syllables and words, and those about emphasis and accent in utterance, and shone as the first scholar who became conversant with those two subjects.  Kundrika and king Brahmadatta of great energy,[1875] repeatedly
