Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 2.10.17
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
The process by which all living beings in the womb of the mother develop their sense organs and sense perceptions appears to follow the same principles in the case of the virāṭ-puruṣa, the sum total of all living entities. Therefore the supreme cause of all generation is not impersonal or without desire. The desires for all kinds of sense perception and sense organs exist in the Supreme, and thus they take place in the individual persons. This desire is the nature of the supreme living being, the Absolute Truth. Because He has the sum total of all mouths, the individual living entities have mouths. Similarly with all other senses and sense organs. Here the mouth is the symbolic representation of all sense organs, for the same principles apply to the others also.
Being agitated by sūtra, hunger and thirst arose within the universal form (vibhoḥ). This form is addressed as the lord because the form is being worshipped with respect. The universal form is here being attributed to be the Supreme Lord. Then the form desired to eat and drink. First the mouth became distinct (nirabhidyata).
