The Narayana Sukta or Narayana Suktam (IAST: Nārāyaṇa Sūktam) is a hymn propitiating the Supreme Deity-Narayana in Yajurveda. Some commentators see it as a mystical appendix to the Purusha Sukta.[2][3] Narayana, in Hinduism, is considered as the Supreme Truth (Brahman), the thousand-headed, thousand-eyed, and thousand-limbed creator and this hymn is recited to worship Narayana, the universal Self (Paramatman) which is identified with the Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the all pervading, beneath and beyond absolute - the preserver) and Shiva (the auspicious one - the destroyer), who are aspects of the Supreme Lord and not the different deities.[4]
