In Srimadbhagavad Gita it has been told by Lord Krishna and has been explained In Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya In ShankarBhasya of Shrimad Bhagwad Gita
Here is The Main Sloka From GITA 8:4
अधिभूतं क्षरो भावः पुरुषश्चाधिदैवतम्।
अधियज्ञोऽहमेवात्र देहे देहभृतां वर।।8.4।।
Translation:-
The which exists in the physical plane is the mutable entity, and what exists in the divine plane is the Person. O best among the embodied beings, I Myself am the entity that exists in the sacrifice in this body.
Explanation Of Shankaracharya:-
पुरुष: पूर्णम् अनेन सर्वम् इति पुरि शयनाद
वा पुरुष आदित्यान्तगर्तो हिरण्यगर्भ:सर्व -
प्रनिकरणानाम् अनुग्राहक: स: अधिदैवतम् |
Translation:-
Purusah means the Person, derived in the sense of he by whom all things are pervaded; or, he who lies in every heart. He is Hiranyagarbha, who resides in the Sun and sustains the organs of all creatures. He is the principle of subjective existence, the entity existing in the divine plane.
