śrī mahānyāsam - 7.5. prati pūruṣaṃ

Prati Purusham is a segment of the Maha-nyasam, derived from the Taittiriya Samhita of the Krishna Yajurveda. This specific section is integral to the ritualistic invocation of Lord Shiva, intended to sanctify and divinize the human form before the performance of Rudrabhishekam. By invoking the cosmic presence within the physical body through these Vedic mantras, the practitioner achieves a state of spiritual purification and alignment. Chanting this section is believed to remove past karmic burdens, grant internal clarity, and prepare the seeker for a profound union with the Divine, ensuring the protection and grace of the Lord.
