tasmad ¿ca¿ sama yaju¿¿i dik¿a yajñasca sarve kratavo dak¿i¿asca ¿ sa¿vatsarasca yajamanasca loka¿ somo yatra pavate yatra surya¿ ¿ 2.1.6From Brahman emerge the energies - Rik that manifests cosmic laws, Sama that balances, Yajus that formulates individual emotions and thought processes.From Brahman emerges the special faculty of training, imparting skill, and education, especially from parents to children for all mammals. From Brahman the systems of manufacturing and gainful employment. Thereby the merits and earnings.Due to Brahman the yearly cycle of time comes into existence.Due to Brahman some assume authority and status and can thus govern and conduct affairs.Due to Brahman the galaxies got formed.And to Brahman's credit the all fulfilling, purifying, and blessing nature of the moon and the sun that shine on all.
