Aitareya 1.1.1
आत्मा वा इदमेक एवाग्र आसीन्नान्यत्किञ्चचन । स ईक्षत लोकान्नु सृजा इति ॥ १.१.१ ॥
In the beginning this was the Self (ātman) alone, one; there was nothing else whatsoever. He thought: "Now let me create the worlds."
Aitareya 1.1.2
स इमाँल्लोकानसृजत । अम्भो मरीचीर्मापोऽदोऽम्भः परेण दिवं द्यौः प्रतिष्ठाऽन्तरिक्षं मरीचयः । पृथिवी मरो या अधस्तात्त आपः ॥ १.१.२ ॥
He created these worlds: ambhaḥ (the waters above), marīcīḥ (rays of light), maraḥ and ambhaḥ. That which is beyond heaven is dyauḥ (the sky), its support is the antarikṣa (mid-space); the marīcīs are the antarikṣa; the earth is maraḥ; and those waters below are the āpaḥ.
Aitareya 1.1.3
स ईक्षतेमे नु लोका लोकपालान्नु सृजा इति ॥ सोऽद्भ्य एव पुरुषं समुद्धृत्यामूर्छयत् ॥ १.१.३ ॥
He thought: "Now let me create guardians (lokapāla) for these worlds." Then he drew out a person (puruṣa) from the waters alone and shaped him.
