TRANSLATION
The hairs on His body are the cause of all vegetation, particularly of
those trees which are required as ingredients for sacrifice. The hairs on
His head are reservoirs for the clouds, and His face is the breeding ground
of electricity and mica. His nails are of stones and iron ores.
PURPORT
The polished nails of the Lord generate electricity, and the clouds rest
on the hairs of His head, and from His face mica is produced. One can
therefore collect all sorts of necessities of life from the person of the
Lord, and therefore the Vedas affirm that everything that is produced
is caused by the Lord. The Lord is the supreme cause of all causes.
