13. According to the authority of the Vedas, Purāṇas, and Itihāsas, Brahmins emanated from Nārāyaṇa's mouth, possessing all souls, being the creators of all, and the producers of all. Indeed, simultaneously with the word of that boon-bestowing deity, Brahmins first manifested, and from the Brahmins, the remaining social classes (varṇas) manifested. Thus, when I, having become (brahman), created the Brahmins myself in ancient times, the specific beings like gods, demons, and great sages were established and also controlled.
