TRANSLATION
The living force, being agitated by the virata purusa, generated hunger
and thirst, and when He desired to drink and eat, the mouth opened.
PURPORT
The process functioning for all living beings in the womb of the mother
to develop the sense organs and sense perceptions appears to follow the
same principles in the case of virdta purusa, the sum total of all living
entities. Therefore the supreme cause of all generation is not impersonal
or without desire. The desires for all kinds of sense perception and sense
organs are there in the Supreme, and they take place in the individual
persons. And this desire is the nature of the supreme living being, the
Absolute Truth. Because He has the sum total of all mouths, the individual
living entities have mouths. Similarly with all other senses and sense organs.
Here the mouth is the symbolic representation of all sense organs, and the
same principle is applicable in others also.
