Sorry for the long delay.

 

This akalpaH is not a noun! It is the verb kalpa (to create) used in

past tense.

 

Translation:

>From this Virat Purusha's navel emerged the

"inner-space" and from His head the "outer-space". From

His feet the "earth", and from His ears the "quarters" manifested;

Thus the worlds came into creation.
