"It will be interesting to note the verses from the well known "Purusha Sookta"

extolled as the authority

for describing the greatness and perfection of the Adi Purusha, whom

SriVaishnavas believe to be Sriman Narayana. This is important because Mani

mentioned Purusha Sukta in passing. "

 

Dear Prasad:

 

Not only SriVaishnavas beleive that the Adi Purusha addressed by the Sooktam is

Sriman Narayana, but a number tantric and agama texts belonging to Saktas and

Saivas say the same thing. It is a well established fact that the Purusha who

is described as "Hrishchathe Lakshmi cha Pathnyau.." is none other than Sriman

Narayana. It is not a Sri Vaishnava creation. Thanks.
