In Mandaeism, Adam pagria or Adam pagra[1] (Mandaic: bodily or physical Adam) is the physical body of the primeval man and therefore of all humans. According to Mandaeism, all human bodies can be traced back to this primeval body.[2]
The creator and uthra Ptahil, son of Abatur, created Adam pagria with his helpers, the Seven Planets and the Twelve Zodiacs, from clay and other elements. With the help of Ruha, Ptahil gave Adam pagria the spirit. Manda d-Hayyi and Hibil Ziwa gave the lightworld soul (Adam kasia) to the body. Hawa (Eve) was then created as a companion for the first bodily Adam.
