The wise speaks of the One by different names. Over a hundred words have been used in the Vedas for Him of which Purusa is of the most frequent occurrence found in about eighty hymns. The Suktas too refer to Him by this name. With the exception of a few uses where consideration of context would make it a synonym of man, everywhere else it signifies the Great Entity.
