The Puya ({{lang-mni|ꯄꯨꯌꯥ}}; from pu "ancestors" and ya or yathang "instructions") is religious texts of Sanamahism,

traditional Meitei language texts, mostly extant in manuscripts written in the Meitei script, containing traditional lore of the Meitei people of Manipur.[1]

They are a particular kind of old narratives which form a definite class in Meitei literature.

The Meetei Puyas deals with the genealogy, creation and cosmology, rituals, deities of Meitei.[1]

Philosophy

The Meitei religion (Laining Leechat) and philosophy (Wang-ulon) is knowing the origin of the blood and safeguarding the planet including the living beings from destruction by evil designs.[2]

Origin of life and its spread according to Puya

According to Wakoklon Heelel Thilel Salai Amailon Pukok PuYa and traditional KhuNung Esei quotes, the first life forms were created on Mt. Koupalu and hence it is the centre of spreading throughout the world. It is agreed by many scholars of the Meitei religion.[3]

Origin of Priesthood (Amailon) in Meetei society

The origin of priesthood as the first form of authority in every civilization is still debated. In case of Meitei, the first Amaiba and Amaibi were Salailel Sitapa and Leimalel Sitapi. They were the first Maichou (Maiba Achouba) and Mainou (Maiba Anouba). The mother and father of every child are the source of great knowledge for the child. They are his/her first teachers teaching many things as written in the PuYa.

This is the part of Amailon written in the Wakoklon Heelel Thilel Salai Amailon Pukok PuYa, Amaiba and Amaibi (priest and priestess) were not those who say chants and sing hymns only. It was later conceptual developments in the long course of human civilization.[4]

Eeyek represents both blood and script

It was to keep the knowledge secret till the inhabitants of this planet can understand the complexity of science in the long period of human civilization.

Our ancestors knew that one day human beings will start asking the questions regarding the origin of life. The Meitei PuYas give the most elaborate genesis of human and other life forms on earth. Wokoklon of the Meiteis is the genesis most detail and elaborate for any surviving civilization on earth. According to many books and manuscripts human beings were engineered successfully by the extra-terrestrial race with their genetic materials. The manifestation of Sitapa Mapu as Ama (One) is the beginning of science in Meitei PuYa. The Ama is nothing but sperm and egg representing male and female life-blood. Therefore, we called Sitapa Mapu or Tingpalpa Mapu as combination of 'Pa-Pi' (Father-Mother). It does not mean being hermaphrodite (having both male and female reproductive organs). The safest conclusion is to say that 'AMA' is Sitapa Mapu's simple representation of being the seed of life to create the Taipangpal. The human body is the construct of the blood originating from the extra-terrestrial beings beginning with Sitapa Mapu. When it is written that 'Ama' is the source of all living beings on earth, it means the life-blood. And to have this 'Ama', there are Eyek Epee Laiyek,Mayek, Lolshum Mayek and Cheitap, Cheinap Mayek. These letters of Meitei alphabet system are the components to form 'One', i.e., the seed of life. 'Ama', the combination of 'Pa' (male) and 'Pi' (female) is thus born. We must remember that 'Ama' came from outer space.

The PuYa Wachetlon Pathup is written to tell this truth that every living being is born from male-female intercourse leading to fertilization of the sperm and ovum except in the case of Nongdamba Mapu (Sitapa Mapu) intervening. This kind of birth without male-female intercourse of one or the other sort can be achieved only through scientific means.[5]
