Narayana sukta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Narayana Sukta

"Whatever all this universe is,
seen or heard of—pervading all this,
from inside and outside alike,
stands supreme the Eternal Divine Being (Narayana).[1]

The Narayana Sukta or Narayana Suktam is a hymn in Yajurveda. Some commentators see it as a mystical appendix to the Purusha sukta.[2][3] Narayana, in Hinduism, is considered as thousand-headed one, thousand-eyed, and thousand-limbed and this hymn is a sung to worship Narayana, the universal Self which is identified with the Brahma(creator), Vishnu(all pervading, beneath and beyond) and Shiva(auspicious one), which are the attributes of the supreme God and not the different deities.[4]
