* Having six elements
* Having six elements
Purusha comprises of six dhatu (elements), viz. five mahabhuta (in their subtle form) and consciousness. (Cha.Sa.[[Sharira Sthana]] 1/16) Imperishable Atma and perishable Panchabhautik body are the two main constituents of the Purusha. They are mentioned in Yajurveda in question-answer manner as “combining and mutually supporting during life and disintegrating and uniting with elements of the universe at the time of death.” The same concept is established more clearly as Shad-dhatuka Purusha and Pancha mahabhoot Shareeri Samavayh Purusha, and Panchatwa prapti at death by Charaka and Sushruta respectively.<ref>Thakar VJ.
