Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Depth of meaning
This is one of the most ancient and multi-layered names of the Supreme. The Puruṣa Sūkta of the Ṛg Veda (10.90) opens with this name, describing the cosmic Person from whom the entire universe emerges. ‘Puruṣa’ means both the individuated self (dwelling in the body-city) and the transcendent cosmic Person who encompasses and exceeds all. **Bhagavad Gītā (15.17)
‘"Uttamaḥ puruṣas tv anyaḥ paramātmety udāhṛtaḥ / yo loka-trayam āviśya bibharty avyaya Īśvaraḥ"‘ — "But beyond these two (perishable and imperishable) is the Supreme Person (Puruṣottama), the inexhaustible Lord who pervades all three worlds and sustains them."
