Puruṣasūktārādhana (पुरुषसूक्ताराधन) or Puruṣasūktārādhanavidhi (lit. “rules for worship employing the puruṣasūkta-mantra”) is the name of chapter 12 of the (first section of the) Bṛhadbrahmasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text containing over 4600 Sanskrit verses dealing primarily with Vaiṣṇava theology and practical matters concerning the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community but also discussing aspects of Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy.—Description of the chapter [puruṣasūktārādhana-vidhi]: Those who wish to make use of the puruṣasākta-mantra in a special kind of worship must make certain preparations (1-11), including contemplating the Lord’s Being in a particular way (12-39), interior purifications (40-51) and bathing (52-53). The actual worship follows a prescribed routine both before and after entering the temple, but the central part consists of taking each of the 18 syllables of the purusaṣūkta-mantra and offering it to various parts of the icon’s body (54-71). Yāga follows, after which a eulogy is addressed to Him (72-79). [...]
