COMMENTARY-SUMMARY TRANSLATION
On that devotee alone who is bent on getting to the very root of Brahma Vidya and who believes in Brahmanaspati, this IM which is the hidden aspect of Pranava, bestows immortality. To that aspirant, this whole universe becomes auspicious. It does not show him its fleeting and seamy side; nor does it worry him with its inequalities. On the other hand, to him it shows itself as Brahma. Thus that IM is the expression of that eternal Brahma, which is ever present before the eye. "Vachya-vachaka are identical and not different. Therefore, IM is Brahma itself which is its expression and it expresses Brahma, the supreme, as it is identical with it. It illumines all. Cf. "He stood up all alone, bearing all the three mothers and the three fathers. None can exhaust (harm) Him" (Rg. I-164-10). "Who knows Him hidden in the cave?" (Rg. I-67-7). These mantras are vindication of the statement above.
Thus ends the first hymn in the third Section.
अथ द्वितीयं ब्रह्मणस्पतिसूक्तम् ।
अनुवाकः ३ । सूक्तम् २ | ऋचः १-८
नमो ब्रह्मणस्पतये अौ, देवरातो वैश्वामित्रः, ब्रह्मणस्पतिः, तृतीया पञ्चमी सप्तमी
च तिस्रः सारस्वताश्च, जगती ।
