Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 tatpadalaksyArthA : She is what is meant by the term tat. Tat, the word which occurs in the transcendental phrases means the conditioned Brahman endowed with the work of creation, etc. of the universe. The same word tat also indicates, [indirectly, laksyA] unconditioned Brahman, who is without attributes. The relation between the two Brahmans [unconditioned and conditioned] is the sameness [tAdAtmaya] BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 "Tatpada-LaksyArthA [refers to] the meaning aimed at by the word Tat in the MahAvAkya. Tattvamasi means 'Thou art that.' The great saying establishes the identity between the Saguna and Nirguna, and between Siva and Sakti, and between the SAksI inside and the ParamAtmA. [Thus,] She is the content of the meaning of that MahAvAkya." - Dr. C.
