Notes

Excerpt from the Mundaka Upanishad 1.1.6-8


6. That which is invisible, ungraspable, without family, without caste (a-varna)

Without sight or hearing is It, without hand or foot,

Eternal, all-pervading, omnipresent, exceedingly subtle;

That is the Imperishable, which the wise perceive as the source of beings.

7.As a spider emits and draws in [its thread],

As herbs arise on the earth,

As the hairs of the head and body from a living person,

So from the Imperishable arises everything here.

8. By austerity (tapas) Brahma becomes built up.

From that, food is produced;

From food life-breath, mind, truth

The worlds', immortality tooin works

Mundaka Upanishad 1.1.7[1][1]

Note in the above, Brahma is "built up" from the Imperishable.
