Question 2
In this unit, you learned about an ancient Hindu text called the Rig Veda. The Rig Veda includes a creation myth. In this story, the gods divide a being named Purusha to create life. The story includes a metaphor that later served as the basis of the caste system.

When they divided Purusha how many portions did they make?
What do they call his mouth, his arms? What do they call his thighs and feet?
