Eyes & Heads

At bedtime last night, I was reading (in The Story of World) a Hindu creation myth. It said "Long, long ago, there was only one gigantic man who lived in the whole universe. His name was Purusha. He had a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, and a thousand feet."

Vincent commented that this meant he only had one eye on each head. "That's right!" I said.

Then Eddie commented that it wasn't necessarily so; he might have two eyes on some heads, and no eyes on other ones. "That's true, it could be like that," I conceded.
