Types Of Energy Purusha Suktam 3
Etha vaanasya Mahima Athojyaayam Gachcha Poorushah I

Paathosya Viswa Boothanni Thripaathasyamrutham Dhivi II

Ethavvan-Whatever is seen

Asya-Reality’s,

Mahima-Expressions,

Purusha-The Reality,

Jyayaan-Special

Boothaani Viswa-whatever in the Universe

Asya-Its,His,

Paathah-quarter,

Asya, His/Its,

Thribaath-three fourths,

Amrutham-Eternal,

Divi-not of here,in Heavens.

Whatever is seen here is His Expressions .

Purusha is Greater than all this.

Whatever is expressed (here) is only a quarter of His (attributes)

Rest is not expressed,in Heavens.

After the next stanza the actual Evolution of the Universe will be described in a highly allegorical Language.

The Reality, according to Hinduism is a Principle.

More specifically Energy.

Two primordial energies are listed.

One is Potential Energy called Prakriti, loosely described as Nature in English.

Another is Purusha the Kinetic Energy.

These two energies are the two facets of One energy, as Science would tell us.

Energy is One.

We name them as different to enable us to understand its workings.

The energy that has the potential to perform is Potential Energy.

That which Performs or induces Performance is Kinetic Energy or Energy in Action or on the Move.

This is Purusha of Hinduism.

Motion is not visible with out both working in tandem.

From the One basic Reality, Its attributes,Purusha and Parkriti become Universe.

Multi-Verses In Purusha Sukta 2
पुरुष एवेदं सर्वं यद्भूतं यच्च भव्यम् ।
उतामृतत्वस्येशानो यदन्नेनातिरोहति ॥२॥
Purussa Evedam Sarvam Yad-Bhuutam Yacca Bhavyam |
Uta-Amrtatvasye[a-I]shaano Yad-Annena-Ati-Rohati ||2||

Multi verse in Hinduism

Meaning:
2.1: The Purusha is indeed All this (Creation) in essence; That which existed in the Past, and that which will exist in the Future,
2.2: Everything (i.e the whole Creation) is woven by the Immortal essence of the Great Lord (Purusha); by becoming Food of which (i.e. by getting consumed in Whose Immortal essence through surrender) one transcends the gross world (and becomes Immortal).

Yath Bootham-Whatever That has been,

Yath Bhavyam Ca-Whatever That is yet to come,

Itham-Whatever That is,

Sarvam-All(of these),

Purusha-The Reality,

Eva-Only That,

Utha-Again

Amruthatvasya-For Immortality,

Eesaana-Is The Head or Dispenser,

Yath-That/He,

Annanena-The world of Objects,

Athirohathi-Crosses beyond.

It is only the Reality, Purusha, that is beyond what Is, Has Been ,and what is yet to come.

The Reality is Immortal and is and beyond the world of Objects.

This verse explains that the world as it appears is the Abode of the Reality and what ever has been and what is yet to come.

The world appears because of Maya or Illusion.

This Illusion is of two kinds.

At the individual level it is called Avidya or Ignorance and at the Cosmic level it is Called Maya.

Awareness, the fundamental of Knowledge is removal of Ignorance , not acquisition of any thing new or from outside.

This Maya will be explained later in the Vedas and Purans as the Attribute of Vishnu.

The concept of Mortality , as Knowledge is,a Negative one.

The absence of Immortality is Mortality is Mortality according to Hinduism for Immortality is permanent.

The Reality which is called Purusha is immanent in all these and yet goes beyond them.

Existence , in the Past,Present and The Future is an Attribute of Reality.

As the world is made of appearances there are multi-verses and The Purusha is Immanent in and goes beyond them.

This will be explaines in detail in Shikshavalli ,Bgriguvalliand Narayanavalli of the Taittriya Mantra Kosa.

Purusha Suktam An Introduction
The Purusha Suktam is one of the earliest compositions that occurs in the Rig Veda.

There are Five most sacred mantras that are revered and chanted by the Hindus in Temples and at Homes on auspicious occasions.

People perform this on a Daily basis as a part of their Daily Pooja.

These Five Suktas are,

Purusha Suktam,

Nayanayana Suktam,

Vishnu Suktam.

Sri Suktam and

Durga Suktam.

These five Suktas are to be recited at the time of Bathing the Deity.

Details on How a God is to be Bathed may be seen in my Post filed Hinduism.

If one looks the Universe and its workings it would be evident that everything in the Universe takes place in a rhythmic pattern.

Stars are formed, decay, Die and are regenerated.

Plants , animals and Man are born grow, decay and die.

Seasons come and go.

Everything in the world takes something from the Universe and gives it back.

Plants give out Oxygen and we need Oxygen ‘we give out carbon and Plants need them

Despite our mishandling of the Universe, the Universe takes back what we have taken from it, including our Life and Body.

The Laws of Universe do not expect anything.

Gravitation,Light,Heat and the other elements do not care whether we understand them or not.

They just go about their jobs..

In the Vedas performance of an action because it ought to be performed is called Yagna.

The Purusha Suktam describes the evolution of the Universe at two levels. describing the process at two levels.

One by performing a Yagna and another as Yaga where a specific result is required.

Full Text meaning and explanatory note follows in a seires of articles.
