Namaste,
/////////////
But in the Purusha Sukta there is a mantra 'Purusha EvedaGm Sarvam |
yad Bhutam Yac Ca Bhavyam | '. 'Everything is Purusha That which was
and That which is to be is Purusha'.
If everything is Purusha there is No Stree at all.
/////
These interpretations are the distorted versions which indicate lack of knowledge of nirukta & veda bhASyAs.
There was person ( i don't remember now !) who interpreted *puruSa* of puruSa sUkta to be a male and *srI* of srI sUkta to be female. So, to maintain the balance of gender, one must study both puruSa & srI sUkta so that justice to both puruSa & stree can be equally done !
God save such souls !
regs,
sriram
