Purusha Sukta (Sanskrit: पुरुषसूक्तम्, IAST: Puruṣasuktam) is a hymn in the Rigveda, dedicated to the Purusha, the "Cosmic Being".[1] It is considered to have been a relatively late addition to the scripture — probably, to accord theological sanction to an increasingly unequal Kuru polity — and is the only hymn to mention the four varnas in explicit, alluding to a hierarchical division of the society.[1][2] The hymn is also found in the three other Vedas but in slightly different forms.[2]
