yasyāmbhasi śayānasya

yoga-nidrāṁ vitanvataḥ

nābhi-hradāmbujād āsīd

brahmā viśva-sṛjāṁ patiḥ

Translation

A part of the puruṣa lies down within the water of the universe, from the navel lake of His body sprouts a lotus stem, and from the lotus flower atop this stem, Brahmā, the master of all engineers in the universe, becomes manifest.
