Papa Purusha - Supreme Personality of Sin

Vyasadeva to jemini

At the beginning of the material creation, the Supreme Lord created the moving and non-moving living entities within this world made of five gross material elements. Simultaneously, for the purpose of punishing the evil human beings, He created a personality whose form was the embodiment of the worst kinds of sin (Papa-purusha). The different limbs of this personality were constructed of various sinful activities.

1. His head was made of the sin of murdering a brahmana(Knower of Brahma - Soul)
2. His two eyes were the form of drinking intoxicants, 
3. His mouth was made from the sin of stealing gold, 
4. His ears were form of the sin of having illicit connection with spiritual master’s wife, 
5. His nose was of the sin of killing one’s wife, 
6. His arms the form of the sin of killing a cow, 
7. His neck was made of the sin of stealing accumulated wealth, 
8. His chest of the sin of abortion, 
9. His lower chest of the sin of having sex with another’s wife, 
10. His stomach of the sin of killings one’s relatives, 
11. His navel of the sin of killing those who are dependent on him, 
12. His waist of the sin of egotistical self-appraisal, 
13. His thighs of the sin of offending the guru, 
14. His genitals of the sin of selling one’s daughter, 
15. His buttocks of the sin of telling confidential matters, 
16. His feet of the sin of killing one’s father, and 
17. His hair was the form of all sorts of less severe sinful activities. 
18. His bodily color is black, and his eyes are yellow. 

In this way, a horrible personality embodying all sinful activities and vices was created. He inflicts extreme misery upon sinful persons.
