" आरोगो भ्राजः पटरः पतङ्गः । स्वर्णरो ज्योतिष्मान् विभासः । कश्यपोऽष्टमः ० " (तै. आ.) इति च तेषां नाम-रूपादिविशेषानुश्रवणम् । तत्रापि भारोगादिरूपाः ते सप्त विभासान्ता: आदित्यरश्मीनां वर्णविशेषबोधका भवन्ति इति विवेकः ॥
COMMENTARY-SUMMARY TRANSLATION
Aditi is the mother of all gods. She bore them all as an embryo within her womb, the high sky and delivered them all. She is all-important, the first and infinite, being indivisible and one. She had no divisions whatsoever within herself in the form of part, portion or boundary. Being one with Vak, the qualitative substance of ākāśa, or the sky, she developed into a fourfold entity complete in every way. She is the sky or infinite space; she received the seed of the universe from Brahma, the Supreme Atman, in the form of energy; she grew in her womb this universe like an egg, which was not mutated, not parted and bore the name Brahmanda. When it became concretised or materialised, she delivered it in the form of the universe, like a bird laying an egg.
Aditi, the mother of gods gave birth to eight sons. She is known as the mother of eight sons. Cf. "Eight were the sons of Aditi born of her body. With seven she associated the gods, and the last on Martanda, she established in the sky for creation and destruction of the universe" ( Rg. X-72-9 ). All those eight are gods enumerated in the Yajur Veda : “ Mitra, Varuna, Dhātā, Aryama, Amśu, Bhaga, Indra and Vivasvat " (Tait. Ār.). Again, the same authority says: “ Āroga, Bhrāja, Patara, Patañiga, Svarnara, Jyotishman, Vibhās, and Kasyapa is the eighth (Tait. Ār.)
