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 husband 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.
