The three influential suktas of the Rigveda, namely the Nasadiya Sukta (Rigveda 10.129), refers to the abstract origin of creation; the Purusha Sukta (Rigveda 10.90) describes the origin of the beings from Purusha; and the Hiranyagarbha Sukta (Rigveda 10.121) where Hiranyagarbha is the sole first entity (from the embryo of all beings) engaging in process of creating other beings thus becoming the Prajapati. These suktas have been a source of speculation in a large body of commentarial literature both by eastern theologians, western scholars and scientists.
