Bhûr Loka is His loins, Bhuvar Loka His navel, Svar Loka His breast, Mahar Loka His throat, Jana Loka His mouth, Tapas Loka His forehead, and Satya Loka is the head of the thousand-headed Virât Purusha. Indra and other Usra Devas (the world Usra meaning, literally, a ray of light) are his hands. The Dik or space gods are his ears. The twin gods Asvini Kumâra are his nose. Agni is His mouth. The firmament is His eyes and the Sun-god His sight. Day and night are His eye-lashes. The graceful movement of His eye-brows is the abode of the Supreme. Water is His palate, taste His tongue. The Vedas are known as His Brahmâ-randhra. Yâma is His tusk. The objects of affection are His teeth. His enchanting smile is Mâyâ. The endless creation is His side-glance. His lower lip is shame, and the upper greed. Dharma is His breast. Adharma His back. Prajâpati is His generative organ. The Mitrâ-Varuna gods are His sense of taste. The seas are His belly, the mountains His bony system and the rivers His veins and arteries. The trees are the hairs of the Universe-bodied. The powerful wind-god is His breath. Time is His movement. His play is the flow of Gunas. The clouds are His hairs. Twilight is His clothing. Prakriti is His heart. His manas is the moon, which is the source of all transformations. Mahat is His Chitta. Rudra is His Ahankâra. Horses, mules, camels and elephants are His nails. All the other animals are His loins. The birds are His wonderful art. He is the abode of Manu, Buddhi and Man. Gandharva, Vidyâdhara, Chârana and Apsaras are His musical notes. The Asuras are His strength. The Brâhmana is His mouth, the Kshatriya His hands, the Vaisya His thighs, and the black Sûdra His feet. The Devas severally and collectively are His _havis_ or sacrificial ghee, and yajna is His karma. This is Virât Purusha. This is how the Universe-aspect of Purusha is realised in meditation, more as a means of concentration, than as the end. When the mind is sufficiently fixed by Dhârâna or contemplation of Virât Purusha, it has next to meditate on the Purusha in the heart. SKANDHA II. THE PURUSHA IN ALL HEARTS. *SKANDHA II., CHAP. 2.* Some meditate within their own body on the Purusha of the size of _prâdesa_ (the space of the thumb and forefinger) in the space covered by the heart, who dwells there. He has four hands containing Sankha (conch), chakra (a sharp circular missile), Gadâ (club) and Padma (lotus). His face is smiling, His eyes are as wide as lotus petals, and His cloth is yellow as the filament of the Kadamba flower. His armlets glitter with gems and gold. His crown and earrings sparkle with brilliant stones. Adepts in Yoga place His feet on the pericarp of the full blown lotus in the heart. With Him is Srî (Lakshmî). The Kaustubha gem is on His neck. He is adorned with a garland of ever blooming wild flowers. His hair is curling and deep blue. His very look is full of kindness to all.
