Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.90.11

RV 10.90.11

यत् पुरुषं व्य् अदधुः कतिधा व्य् अकल्पयन् । मुखं किम् अस्य कौ बाहू का ऊरू पादा उच्येते ॥

yat puruṣaṃ vy adadhuḥ katidhā vy akalpayan | mukhaṃ kim asya kau bāhū kā ūrū pādā ucyete ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

When they divided Purusa how many portions did they make? What do they call his mouth, his arms? What do they call his thighs and feet?
