Translation
When the two gross hands (adhibhūta) of the universal form manifested, the presiding deity Indra (adhidaiva) along with his portion, the sense organ called the hands, which perform buying and selling (adhyātma), entered the universal form. By the hands means of livelihood (adhibhūta) appeared.
Vārtayā means the śakti of buying and selling, of receiving and giving. Vārttā means ability to make things. (This refers to the hands.) Vṛttim means livelihood.
