gudaṁ mṛtyur apānena
nodatiṣṭhat tadā virāṭ
hastāv indro balenaiva
nodatiṣṭhat tadā virāṭ

gudam — His anus; mṛtyuḥ — the god of death; apānena — with the organ of defecation; na — not; udatiṣṭhat — did arise; tadā — even then; virāṭ — the virāṭ-puruṣa; hastau — the two hands; indraḥ — Lord Indra; balena — with their power to grasp and drop things; eva — indeed; na — not; udatiṣṭhat — did arise; tadā — even then; virāṭ — the virāṭ-puruṣa.

The god of death entered His anus with the organ of defecation, but the virāṭ-puruṣa could not be spurred to activity. The god Indra entered the hands with their power of grasping and dropping things, but the virāṭ-puruṣa would not get up even then.
