Dedicated to Lord Mahavishnu.
None other than Lord Maha Vishnu himself bestowed knowledge of
this homa on Sanatkumara, who in turn instructed this to sage
Bodhayana. It is stated in the Suta Samhita.
Putrapradam Aputraanaam
Jayadam Jayakaaminaam Bhuktidam Bhuktikaamaanaam Mokshadam Moksha
Kaaminaam
meaning those who wish progeny,
success in endeavors, worldly enjoyment and the final emancipation
shall attain it by performing this.It is said that one attains
this human birth by performing meritorious deeds in the past
lives. In order to continue the lineage of ours it is necessary
that we be blessed with healthy progeny. The Purusha sukta homa is
said to be equal to the Putra kameshti yagna narrated in the
Ramayana in providing healthy progeny to the performer. The hymn
glorifies Lord Vishnu as the Purusha or the primordial being with
innumerable heads, eyes and feet. The lord is depicted as the
cause of all living beings. It further describes the manner in
which different species occur from his various limbs. The hymns
are sixteen in number.
