Purusha Suktam which has the unique qualification as
being part of all the four vedas
also has these lines
hreeshca te lakshmeeshca patnyau | ahorAtre pArshve |
nakshatrANi roopam | ashvinau vyAttam |
which essentially says that the Purusham has Lakshimi
and Hree has HIS consorts.
And Purusha Sukta is the Big Bang as per vedic
religion. It is a vivid description of everything
manifested. And to whom everything belongs.

Please visit musicindiaonline.com and follow links
on devotional/sanskrit links to get to Sukta.

We have to suppress our temptation to question
and start examining to nth degree the significance
of numerals as we know it.

Sahasranama also starts with 1000 faces etc...
but that would be limiting and will render many
other vedic statements that declare Brahman to be
unlimited. 
JagadGuru Adi Sankara in an essay available over the
net at the kanchi peetam elaborates more on the
significance/or insignificance of select numerals used
in our vedic literature. A thesis is that these
numeric references are not to be taken literally.

There is nothing significant about a four armed
Sriman Narayana. Whether Sriman Narayana has any
arms at all is not worth pondering.
P. Suukta clearly says 
Eta Vanasya Mahima (everything is HIS glory)
yad bhUtam yac ca bhavyam (ultimate reality is beyond
time)
Because Sriman Narayana can will any arm in this world
to do just about anything. Sriman Narayana does not
need arms that belong to him. It appears such 
descriptions are similar to the way modern scientists
conjure up alien life forms that look much like 
human being. 

Adiyen is not qualfied in terms of mastery over
these scriptures but adiyen has ventured purely from a
common sense 
point of view. Having admitted the fore.
What is Brahman, Who that is Brahman really is
beyond my speculative or my domain of reason.
no disrespect/offense is meant to anyone or any group.
Adiyen having enjoyed and benefitted the knowledge
of Purusha Sukta would recommend reading and
understanding Purusha Sukta to everyone who has
not had the privilege yet. If you need reference
to Purusha Suukta or a CD with a beautiful rendition 
(Tadatmanananda) please send me a note by email.

Om Namo Narayana
