Ithi Sri Purusha Sooktham Samaaptham.

Purusha Sooktham comprising several Riks (stanzas) is a hymn from the Thaithireeya Aaranyakam in the Vedas. This Sooktham describes the process of creation and different stages of evolution, tracing the manifestion of everything in the Universe to the Supreme Being, which is referred to as Purusha. The description goes to establish the underlying unity in the apparent diversity, saying that the One unmanifest Reality itself became everything in the manifest Universe, pervading the entire creation and well extending beyond it.
