Dear Bhagavathas.
Sriman Mani asked whether Hri and Lakshmi in Purusha Suktam
refer to Bhu Devi and Sri Devi. Largely, Hri is translated as
modesty , humility or humble. In a way, the common term
in usage for that is also DOWN TO EARTH. Who can be more
down to Earth than Bhu Devi?
Thus, we can interpret, Hri as Bhu Devi Taayaar.
Daasan,
