PURUSHA SUKTHAM
The essential problem is that we have ghee and fire before the animals and the trees were created. Overlook those attempts to tell the story. There is also a parady that gods killed the pususha!. Is this the story of the fall of the Angels? Out of this came the material realm and the "Malkut" - the lower world.
This lower world creations are described in the book of job.
Job 38:3-7 Now gird up your loins like a man; for I will ask of you, and you teach Me. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell if you have understanding! Who has set its measurements, for you know? Or who has stretched the line on it? On what are its bases sunk, or who cast its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Then follows the details of the sacrifice through which the creation took place in the traditional Indian mode of sacrifice..
Hebrews 11:3 3 By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made out of things which do not appear.
In this biblical description the creation of the cosmos was a cooperative effort between God and the sons of God.
We do create out own worlds by our minds and our actions. We live in the world we ourselves create and enjoy the result of those actions or suffer the consequence of those actions here and now and also in the ages to come.
Verse 7
PURUSHA BOUND IN YAGA VEDI
saptAsyA san paridaya: | tri: sapta: samida: krtA: |
deva yad yajnam tanvAnA: | abadhnan purusham paSum || 7 ||
Seven Devas were the sticks that enclose the place of Yajña (Sacrificial Fire rituals), thrice seven [21] were made the fuel wood;
the Devas performed the Yajña and they bound the Purusha as the cow at the Yajña.
Nothing had been created at this point. So what were the paridi-s? The seven chandas-s, or metres, gayatri, trishTup, brhatee, pankti, ushNuk, anushtup, and jagatI may be the seven here. However, later verses would seem to go against this hypothesis. The chandas-s seem to be later creations, as 554
