The virāṭ-rūpa — the universe as the body of the Puruṣa. agnir mūrdhā — "fire is the head": the blazing summit of the world; cakṣuṣī candra-sūryau — "the eyes are the moon and the sun": two eyes, of night and of day, with which He gazes — and by which the world is lit (gaze and light are one); diśaḥ śrotre — "the quarters are the ears": all directions hear; vāg vivṛtāś ca vedāḥ — "speech is the disclosed Vedas": when He speaks, that is the śruti; vāyuḥ prāṇaḥ — the wind is the breath; hṛdayaṁ viśvam — "the heart is the universe": everything that is is contained in His heart (not under His heel!); padbhyāṁ pṛthivī — from the feet, the earth.
Such a vision is not "primitive anthropomorphism" but its opposite: not God after the image of man, but the cosmos after the image of God; the contemplative is given a ladder: looking at fire, sun, sky — to see the limbs of one Body. The Gītā (chapter 11) will show this same Viśvarūpa to Arjuna with his own eyes; the Bhāgavatam (2.1) will prescribe it as the first step of contemplation for a mind not yet strong.
The clasp of the verse: hy eṣa sarva-bhūtāntarātmā — "for He is the inner Ātman of all beings": He whose body is the universe is at the same time the hidden Spirit in every creature. The greatest and the deepest are one and the same; the cosmos and the heart are two magnitudes of one presence.
