Thank you, what do I think Purusa means in relation to the lord?
I thought this is a very simple question and merit a very simple answer but then if it was that simple why would you care to ask, surely there is much more to it then a simple meaning.
Purush we all know is a male, and there are other defination if we care to look up the Sanskrit dictionary.
If we say male all kind of thought occurs, isn’t that limiting the scope of all mighty, after all that would set a boundary, how can that be possible, he is boundless, God can not perish that would be ridiculous, as we read the story in Bhagvat puran some hunter kills him, what kind of God is that? so the gyni concludes, in the final analysis all forms dissolve in Brahman.
Well if we look at with our limited material eyes we make this erroneous mistake that Krishna is subject to same material laws that applies to us,
I take my cue from Bhagvat Gita Lord Krishna says my birth is divya;
The one who truly understands My transcendental birth and activities (of creation, maintenance, and dissolution), is not born again after leaving this body and attains My abode, O Arjuna. (4.09)
He further says in chapter 15.16/17 there are two types of Purush (dvav imau purusau loke)
But he says I am utam, the best among the two therefore I am known as purusottamah.
So in my humble opinion he is supreme person, param Brahm, param dham, eternal all pervading in his avyaktam state etc
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
