स्वयमेवात्मनात्मानं वेत्थ त्वं पुरुषोत्तम | भूतभावन भूतेश देवदेव जगत्पते
svayamevātmanātmānaṃ vettha tvaṃ puruṣottama . bhūtabhāvana bhūteśa devadeva jagatpate
至高「原人」(Purushottama)啊,您唯獨藉由您自己知曉您自己。眾生之源啊,眾生之主啊,眾天神之神啊,宇宙之主啊!

「至高原人」(Purushottama)意指所有「原人」(Purusha)中最優越者。祂呈現四種形式:眾生之源、眾生之主、眾天神之神和宇宙之主。因此,祂被稱為「至高原人」(Purushottama)。「眾天神之神」(Devadeva)是指連因陀羅(Indra)及其他天神都敬拜的對象。「宇宙之主」(Jagatpati)是指主透過《吠陀》(Vedas)中的教誨保護世界並引導眾生。因此得名「宇宙之主」。
Purushottama means the best among all Purushas. He assumes the four forms? viz.? the source of beings? the Lord of beings? God of gods and ruler of the world. Hence He is called Purushottama.Devadeva is He who is worshipped even by Indra and other gods.Jagatpati The Lord protects the world and guides the people through the instructions given in the Vedas. Hence the name ruler of the world.
