Abstract

Acharya Atreya while explaining to Agnivesha says that the lokagat bhavas and purushgat bhavas are aparisankheya and these have similarities with each other. There are so many animals and plants in the lok. But why is lok compared with purush only? Acharya Sushruta has mentions Purush is the most important creative factor of the nature and another creation are made for Purush. Being the most important entity of the lok, purush is compared with it. According to Acharya Charaka, Loka and Purusha both are shaddhatwatmaka. Shada dhatu means composition of six elements namely five mahabhutas and chetanatatwa. Universe is composed of these six factors and sixth one is brahma, whereas in living being, it is Avyakta. Lok Purush Samya Siddhant narrated to see oneself in universe and universe in oneself. This produces Satyabuddhi and person gets Moksha.

Keywords: Purush, lok, mahabhutas, chetanatatwa, Satyabuddhi, Moksha.
