"Part-1. Chapter-6." : The Luminous Person in the Solar Orb-

Chapter VI — The Luminous Person in the Solar Orb  


1.   This earth is the Rik and fire is the Saman. This Saman (i.e.  fire) rests on that Rik (i.e. the earth). Therefore the Saman is  sung resting on the Rik. Sa is the earth, ama is fire; thus they  (the earth and fire) are designated as Sama.  


2.   The mid—region is the Rik and the air is the Saman. This  Saman (i.e. the air) rests on that Rik (i.e. the mid—region).  Therefore the Saman is sung, resting on the Rik. Sa is the  mid—region, ama is the air; thus they (the mid—region and the  air) are designated as Sama.  


4.   The stars are the Rik and the moon is the Saman. This Saman  (i.e. the moon) rests on that Rik (i.e. the stars). Therefore the  Saman is sung, resting on the Rik. Sa is the stars, ama is the  moon; thus they (the stars and the moon) are designated as  Sama.  


5.   Now, the white radiance of the sun is the Rik and its blue  intense darkness is the Saman. This Saman (i.e. the darkness)  rests on that Rik (i.e. the radiance). Therefore the Saman is  sung, resting on the Rik.  6—


7.   Sa is the white radiance of the sun, ama is its blue intense  darkness; thus they (the radiance and the darkness) are  designated as Sama.  Now, the golden person who is seen in the sun, who has a  golden beard and golden hair, who is golden to the very tips of  his nails—his eyes are like a lotus flower, red as the rump of a  monkey.  His name is Ut, for he has risen (udita) above all evil. He, too,  who knows this rises above all evil.

You can not find a final support anywhere in the world. Everybody is sick of y

====================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/04/2020. Chapter One: Vaishvanara-Vidya The Self as the Universal Whole (Continued) Post-13. --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. The specific action that is taken up for discussion here is, what is called in the language of the sacred lore, Prana-agnihotra, or the sacrificial offering to the Universal Fire.

The external sacrifice ceases to be external any more. Viewing everyt
