Victory to Brahmanaspati !
INVOCATORY VERSES 1. May Bhagavān Brahmanaspati, the Brahmarshi who is the real seer of
the Veda be pleased to inspire my power of speech for the exposition of
the meaning of the Veda itself. 2. The great Bhagavati Vedamata is Brahma itself in the form of words.
It is she who inspires all writing about Brahma. May she enable us to see the Truth without delay. In this Veda, namely, Chhando-darsana, revealed to Daivarata the Seer, may the commentary, Anvaya Bhashya by Vasishtha, explain the full meaning of all the mantras. Let me bow to Brahma, to the power of Speech, to the very power of expression and to Brahmaṇaspati, who is the very essence of that Reality which is to be explained here.
