Purusha Suktam

Now, the Purusha Suktam.
Om. That glory let us choose, for song, for sacrifice,
for song, for the lord of sacrifice. Divine well-being be to us.
Well-being to humans. Upwards may the medicine ascend.
Peace be to the two-footed, peace to the four-footed.
Om peace, peace, peace.
Harih Om. Om. Thousand-headed is Purusha,
Thousand-eyed, thousand-footed. He having encompassed the earth on all sides,
Exceeded it by ten fingers. 1
Purusha alone is all this, whatever has been and whatever shall be. He is also the lord of immortality,
Which he grows beyond by food. 2 This is his greatness. And Purusha is greater than this.
All beings are his foot. His three-quarters are the immortal in heaven. 3
Three-quarters of Purusha ascended upwards. His one-quarter came to be here again. From that,
He pervaded all, both what eats and what does not eat. 4
From him Viraj was born. From Viraj, Purusha arose. He, being born,
Extended beyond the earth, behind and in front. 5
When the gods performed sacrifice with Purusha as the offering, Spring was the ghee thereof,
Summer the fuel, Autumn the oblation. 6 Seven were his enclosing sticks. Three times seven
Were the fuel-sticks made. The gods, performing sacrifice,
Bound Purusha as the victim. 7
They sprinkled that sacrifice with clarified butter. Purusha, being born in the beginning. With him the gods
Sacrificed, the Sadhyas, the Rishis, and they. 8 From that sacrifice completely offered,
The melted ghee was collected. He made from it the wild animals,
Both the forest and the domestic ones. 9 From that sacrifice completely offered, the Rig verses
And the Samans were born. The meters were born from that. From that the Yajus was born.
10 From that horses were born, and all those that have two rows of teeth. Cows also were born from that.
From that goats and sheep were born. 11 When they divided Purusha,
Into how many parts did they arrange him? What is his mouth called? What are his two arms?
What are his thighs and feet called? 12
The Brahman was his mouth. The Rajanya was made his two arms. His thighs were what the Vaisya is.
From his feet the Sudra was born. 13 The moon was born from his mind.
From his eye the sun was born.
From his mouth Indra and Agni. From his breath the wind was born. 14
From his navel was the mid-air. From his head the heaven came into being.
From his feet the earth, from his ear the quarters. Thus they arranged the worlds. 15
I know this great Purusha, of sun-like colour, beyond darkness.
Having arranged all forms, the wise one,
Having made the names, speaks what exists. 16
The Ordainer in the beginning brought him forth. The knowing Indra pervaded the four quarters.
He who knows him thus, here becomes immortal. There is no other path for going to the other world. 17
With sacrifice the gods sacrificed to sacrifice. These were the first ordinances. These
Greatnesses reach to the highest heaven, where
The ancient Sadhyas, the gods, are. 18
Om. Salutations to Narayana.
