parama purusha | परम पुरुष
Parama Purusha (Devanagari: परम पुरुष; ISO 15919: parama puruṣa) refers to The Supreme Divine Person.
The term is a compound of two Sanskrit words:
- Parama: Meaning supreme, highest, or ultimate.
- Purusha: Meaning person, enjoyer, or controller.
The Supreme Personality While the Vedas use the term Purusha to describe God, His various Avatars, and occasionally the soul, the title Parama Purusha is a moniker used exclusively for Shri Krishna. It designates Him as the ultimate source and the highest form of the Divine Personality, superior to all other manifestations.
