Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
in Hinduf mythology, was the surname of Brahma, the all-penetrating spirit of the world. All souls come from Atma; they occupy the heart in the body, and are the cause of all sensual and voluntary functions, and therefore are rewarded or punished for the good or evil which the human being did during life.
