Sayana's commentary on RV 10.71.4

This is a beautiful mantra. The devata for this sUkta is jn~Anam, the only such in Rig Veda and perhaps one of the only such in entire saMhita bhaaga of four vedas.

Here is Sayana's commentary:

Daily Inspiration Mailing List

If you are interested in getting short Vedantic messages as "daily inspiration", please let me know by leaving a comment on this blog, with your email address. (I will edit the comment removing the email address to save you from spam.) Here are the ones that I currently run.

Bhagavad Gita: The summum-bonum, the summary as well as encyclopedia of the entire Vedanta, recorded as a conversation between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, in 700 verses and 18 chapters. This selection is just a collection of 42 quotes from the book (see this post for all of them). A sample message is 2.16 naasato vidyate bhaavo naabhaavo vidyate sataH Of the unreal there is no being; the real has no nonexistence.

Ashtavakra Gita: A highly recommended Advaitic text, recorded as a conversation between the sage Ashtavakra and his disciple King Janaka. A sample message is: The liberated person is not averse to the senses and nor is he attached to them. He enjoys himself continually with an unattached mind in both achievement and non-achievement. 17.17

Adi Shankaracharya's prasna uttara ratna malika: A short work by Shri Adi Shankara, of 100+ verses, each containing a question and answer. The translation I follow is by Swami Prabhavananda. A sample message is: 60. What are the duties of a spiritual aspirant? To keep company with the holy, to renounce all thoughts of me and mine, to devote himself to God.

Ramana Maharshi's verses on reality: This is a translation of a short work of forty verses by Ramana Maharshi. The translation I follow is by Shri Alan Jacob. A sample message is: 34. Disputing the nature of the Self without attempting Self-realization merely constitutes delusion. Without trying to realize in the heart that reality which is the true nature of all, and without trying to abide in it, to engage in disputations as to whether the reality exists or not, or is real or not, denotes delusion born of ignorance.

sanskRita vyavahaara sahasrii: This is a mailing list for sending 6 random sentences selected from simple Sanskrit. The source I use is this (a PDF link). A sample message is: bahu sundaraM asti kila etad.h ? It is very good, isn't it ? dIpAvalI shubhAshayAH | Wish you a happy Deepavali. eshhaH saN^ketaH kutra iti jAnAti vA ? | Could you possibly tell me where this address/place is ? shvaH etad.h samyak.h paThitvA Agantavyam.h | Read this well when you come tomorrow. adya tu virAmaH |Today is a holiday, anyway. tasya ArogyaM kathaM asti ? How is his health ?

gItA anvaya sandhi vigraha : This is a purely Sanskrit mailing list, which send a random verse/verses from Bhagavad Gita, along with its anvaya and saMdhi vigraha. A sample message is: yatra yogeshvaraH kR^iShNo yatra paartho dhanurdharaH . tatra shriirvijayo bhuutirdhruvaa niitirmatirmama .. 18.78 yatra yogeshvaraH kR^iShNaH yatra paarthaH dhanurdharaH . tatra shriiH vijayaH bhuutiH dhruvaa niitiH matiH mama .. 18.78 yatra yogeshvaraH kR^iShNaH yatra dhanurdharaH paarthaH\, tatra shriiH\, vijayaH\, bhuutiH\, dhruvaa niitiH ##(##cha iti##)## mama matiH ##(##asti##)## .
