her cattle ?! Svâhâ 2! May the Brahman-students come to me, Svâhâ ! May they come from all sides, Svâhâ! May they come forth to me, Svâhâ ! May they practise restraint, Svâhâ ! May they enjoy peace, Svâhâ !
3. May I be a glory among men, Svâhâ ! May I be better than the richest, Svâhâ! May I enter into thee, O treasure (Оm), Svâhâ ! Thou, O treasure 3 enter into me, Svâhâ ! In thee, consisting of a thousand branches, in thee, O treasure, I am cleansed, Svâhâ ! As water runs downward, as the months go to the year, so, O preserver of the world, may Brahman-students always come to me from all sides, Svâhâ !
(1) Thou art a refuge! Enlighten me! Take possession of me!
FIFTH ANUVÂKA. 1. Bhů, Bhuvas, Suvas“, these are the three sacred interjections (vyâhriti). Mâhâkamasya taught a fourth, viz. Mahas, which is Brahman, which is the Self. The others (devatâs) are its members.
Bho is this world, Bhuvas is the sky, Suvas is the other world.
2. Mahas is the sun. All the worlds are increased by the sun. Bhù is Agni (fire), Bhuvas is Vâyu (air), Suvas is Aditya (sun). Mahas is the moon. All the heavenly lights are increased by the moon.
1 The construction is not right. Woolly, lomasâ, is explained as 'possessed of woolly sheep.'
2 With the interjection Svâhâ each oblation is offered. & Bhaga, here explained as bhagavat.
• The text varies between Bhû, Bhuvas, Suvas, Mahas, and Bhû, Bhuvar, Suvar, Mahar.
