Attentively, listen to me O Agnivesha!, The aggregate (collective combination) of the six ''dhatus'', viz. ''prithvi, apa, tejas, vayu,'' ''akasha'' and unmanifested Brahman is termed as ''loka'' (universe) and (similarly these) six constituents also make the ''purusha''. [ 3-4]

In the person, prithvi, apa, tejas, vayu, akasha and Brahman are represented in the form of embodiments, moisture, heat, vital breath, space and the Self (atman) respectively. As is the magnificence of the Brahman, the super-consciousness, in the universe so is that of the atman in the person. While in the universe, the splendor of the Brahman is personified by Prajapati, the atman in the purusha is represented by the mind. Similarly, Indra in the universe is represented by ego in the person, Aditya (the sun) is represented in the processes that consume nutrients, Rudra in agitation, Soma (the moon) in cheerfulness, Vasu in happiness, Marut (the air) in enthusiasm, Ashwin in lusture, Vishvadeva in all sense organs and their objects, darkness in ignorance, light in knowledge.  just as there is act of creation in the universe, so also in man there is conception. Corresponding to krit yuga( the first age of universe), there is childhood. Corresponding to treta yuga (the second age), is youth. Corresponding to dwapara yuga (the third age), there is old age. Corresponding to kali yuga(the last age), is infirmity or diseases. Thus corresponding to the end of world cycle, is death in man.   Thus, O Agnivesha, analogies between various features and phenomena could be drawn from the macrocosm to understand the microcosm (and vice versa).
