Purusha (पुरूषः)

It is mentioned in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad ( बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 2.5.18)

स वा अयं पुरूषः सर्वासु पूर्षु पुरिशयो नैनेन किञ्चनानावृतं नैनेन किञ्चनासंवृतम् ।।

This is nothing which is not covered by this Purusha (पुरूषः) and there is nothing in which this Purusha (पुरूषः) doesn’t resides.

Explanation

पुरिशेत इति पुरिशयः सन् पुरूष इत्युच्यते – Because this Atman resides in this पुर् (physical body) , so it is called Purusha.
