Ode to Virata Purusha and Dharma
**Ode to the Virata Purusha and Dharma** O Virata Purusha, cosmic form divine, Thou art the vast expanse, the universe entire, From thee, all beings and duties align, In your boundless form, we find our desire. Thousand heads, thousand eyes, thousand feet, Thou encompass the heavens and the earth, Every being, every heartbeat, Pulses with the rhythm of your eternal worth. The Brahmana, thy head, wisdom's seat, Kshatriya, thy arms, the force of right, Vaishya, thy thighs, sustain and greet, Shudra, thy feet, the support in night. O Purusha, we are but cells in thee, Our Dharma, the function of thy grand design, To serve, to protect, to nurture, to be, Is to walk the path where the divine and mortal entwine. Thou art the source, the end, the way, In following thee, we find our bliss, Through Dharma's light, we humbly sway, Towards liberation's eternal kiss. In your vast form, we see our place, A part of the cosmic, eternal flow, O Virata Puru
