TRANSLATION

The goddess of fortune was generated from His chest, the in-
habitants of Pitrloka from His shadow, religion from His bosom,
and irreligion [the opposite of religion] from His back. The
heavenly planets were generated from the top of His head, and the
Apsaras from His sense enjoyment. May that supremely powerful
Personality of Godhead be pleased with us.
