Thread: Looking for 24-mantra version of Purusha Sukta

    Looking for 24-mantra version of Purusha Sukta

    Namaste devotees,

    There is a 24-mantra version of the Purusha Sukta that I commonly see translated on the internet and referenced in some Vedaanta commentaries. I am trying to find out from what scripture this version of the PS can be found. The one in Rig Veda 10.90 has only 16 mantras. I've heard it said that a version of it exists in each of the other Veda Samhitas but the citations I read from Wikipedia and a few other internet sources did not give me adequate information to find it.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    The 24 mantra version is from the Taittiriya Yajurveda, it is a combination of 18 verses from the Krishna Yajurvediya Purusha Sukta and the Uttara Narayana.

    Thanks, but what I was looking for specifically was the exact verse numbers in which each part could be found. Would you happen to know those?

    Look at the Taittiriya Aranyaka, third prashna 12th and 13th hymn.

    तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया ।
    उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्वदर्शिनः ॥

    उस ज्ञान को तू तत्वदर्शी ज्ञानियों के पास जाकर समझ, उनको भलीभाँति दण्डवत्* प्रणाम करने से, उनकी सेवा करने से और कपट छोड़कर सरलतापूर्वक प्रश्न करने से वे परमात्म तत्व को भलीभाँति जानने वाले ज्ञानी महात्मा तुझे उस तत्वज्ञान का उपदेश करेंगे. श्रीमद्*भगवद्*गीता-4.34
