In the beginning there was absolutely
nothing, and what existed was covered by
death and hunger. He thought, "Let me have
a self," and he created the mind. As he moved
about ... water was generated. Froth formed
on the water... [which] solidified to become
earth. ... After resting, he divided himself in
three parts (fire, sun, and air]. ... He caused
his self to split into two matching parts ...
and from them arose husbard and wife...
and from their union arose the human beings
of the earth. . . . She changed to a cow... he
changed to a bull... and from their union
cows arose.
