Guest guest Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hare Krsna. PAMHO. AGTSP. > What means "vyahrtis" exactly? I heard only vyahrtis are bhur-bhuvah-svah. Literally it means "utterance". Here is what Monier-Williams says: vyAhRti (also {-tI} ; ifc. {-tikA}) , the mystical utterance of the names of the seven worlds (viz. {bhUr} , {bhuvar} [or {bhuvaH}] , {svar} , {mahar} , {janar} , {tapar} , {satya} [qq. vv.] the first three of which , called , the great VyAhRtis "' , are pronounced after {om} by every Brahman in commencing his daily prayers and are personified as the daughters of Savitri and Prisni) TS. Br. RTL. 403 Mn. ii , 76 MBh. &c. Your servant apd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
