Shri Purusha Suktam
Introduction
Shri Purusha Suktam (Rigveda 10.90) is the most celebrated, foundational, and sublime Vedic hymn in Sanatana Dharma. Revealed to Rishi Narayana, it occurs in all four Vedas (Rigveda, Shukla & Krishna Yajurveda, Samaveda, Atharvaveda).
The Suktam describes the Purusha—the thousand-headed, thousand-eyed, thousand-footed Cosmic Being who pervades the entire universe, filling all creation while extending ten fingers' breadth beyond it (Atyatiṣṭhad-Daśāṅgulam).
It details the cosmic sacrifice (Yajna) through which the Sun, Moon, seasons, Vedas, animal life, and human society originated from different parts of the Cosmic Purusha.
