Those who fall out of this system because of their grievous sins are ostracised as outcastes (untouchables) and considered outside the varna system.
The Varna system in Dharma-shastras divides society into four varnas (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishya and Shudras). The varna system is extensively discussed in the Dharma-shastras. In the post-Vedic period, the varna division is described in the Dharmashastra literature, the Mahabharata and in the Puranas. was primarily organised on the basis of kin, tribe and lineage." Ram Sharan Sharma states that "the Rig Vedic society was neither organized on the basis of social division of labour nor on that of differences in wealth . Traditional commentators of the Vedas like Sayanacharya do not hint at the Purusha Suktam being a fabrication Stephanie Jamison and Joel Brereton, a professor of Sanskrit and Religious studies, state, "there is no evidence in the Rigveda for an elaborate, much-subdivided and overarching caste system", and "the varna system seems to be embryonic in the Rigveda and, both then and later, a social ideal rather than a social reality". However, others believe it to be a genuine hymn. Some modern indologists believe the Purusha Suktam to be a later addition, possibly as a charter myth. His thighs became the Vaishya, from his feet the Shudra was produced. The Brahman was his mouth, of both his arms was the Rajanya made. What do they call his mouth, his arms? What do they call his thighs and feet?ġ2. When they divided Purusa how many portions did they make? The earliest application to the formal division into four social classes (without using the term varna) appears in the late Rigvedic Purusha Sukta ( RV 10.90.11–12), which has the Brahman, Rajanya (instead of Kshatriya), Vaishya and Shudra classes forming the mouth, arms, thighs and feet at the sacrifice of the primordial Purusha, respectively: ġ1. Varna refers to four social classes in the Manusmriti.
Varna contextually means "colour, race, tribe, species, kind, sort, nature, character, quality, property" of an object or people in some Vedic and medieval texts. The word means "color, tint, dye or pigment" in the Mahabharata. The word appears in the Rigveda, where it means "colour, outward appearance, exterior, form, figure or shape". The Sanskrit term varna is derived from the root vṛ, meaning "to cover, to envelop, count, classify consider, describe or choose" (compare vṛtra). Counter to these textual classifications, many Hindu texts and doctrines question and disagree with the Varna system of social classification. The commentary on the Varna system in the Manusmriti is often cited. The concept is generally traced to the Purusha Sukta verse of the Rig Veda. The varna system is discussed in Hindu texts, and understood as idealised human callings. This quadruple division is a form of social classification, quite different from regional Jātis which were later mapped, by the British, to the European term " caste". Those who do not belong to any varna were called avarna.

However, under some circumstances, this hymn appears to be more powerful than any other.
Every day, a person who recites ‘Purusha Sukta’ one time gets rid of the sins committed in his birth, and a person who recites 5 times daily cleanses the soul of all pre-birth sins. “Purush-Sukta” is the easiest way to purge all sins from the Puranas.
