Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.1

sūta uvāca

jagṛhe pauruṣaṁ rūpaṁ
 bhagavān mahad-ādibhiḥ
sambhūtaṁ ṣoḍaśa-kalam
 ādau loka-sisṛkṣayā

Sūta said: In the beginning of the creation, the Lord first expanded Himself in the universal form of the puruṣa incarnation and manifested all the ingredients for the material creation. And thus at first there was the creation of the sixteen principles of material action. This was for the purpose of creating the material universes.
