Adam pagria

Adam pagria ( Persian : Adam body ) is the Mandaean name for the body of primitive man and therefore of all people, because according to this doctrine all human bodies can be traced back to this primordial body.

The creator and light being Ptahil , son of Abathur , created this body with his helpers, the seven planets and the twelve zodiac circles, from clay and other elements. With Ruha he gave the Adam pagria the spirit. Manda d-Haije and Hibil gave the body, regarded as dark, the light soul ( Adam kasia ). His mate is Hawa .
