MEANING :

 

       Meditate the a Lord as the one shaped out of the immortal rays of

moon, as the one with brilliant rays(the sun) and the moon-spot.Mediate im as

the Lord of gods, the healing agent made out of the plant life and as the shore

of all the worlds.He over comes andsurpasses everything and everyone by

truthfulness and the law of existence .

 

Explanation :

 

1 . The rays of the moon are made up of the reflection of the sap of

eternity.The moon is the ferminating and fertilizing agent  as well as the

mother force that gives the growth in the embryonic staged of every living

being.It is the moon ray that synthesizes  the inorganic into the organic

kingdom.Hence the birth of the omni presence of the Lord into the form of

anylivingbeing is due to the lunar principle

 

2 . The sun is the very giver of life.The in-filling centre of soul-life and the

latent spirit consciousness of every one and everthing is the solar

principle.Hence the sun and the  moon are the products of the sloar and lunar

priniciples which protect the  whole creation as the two eyes of the Lord.

 

3 .  Devas are of many groups, mainly three: Adityas,(The Lords of

radiation).Rudras (The Lords of vibration)  and Vasus (The Lords of

materialization ) .Besides there are the devas who govern the solar

pulsation.They are of two types ; pitrus who preside over the basic properties

of the grand cycle of the creation of the solarsystem and Gandhrvas, the lords

of music operating as the pulsation of the many galaxies of solar system in a

unit space called the egg.

 

4 . Each group of devas had its own Lord who is a manifestation of the Lord

Vishnu Himself.

 

5 . The poetic thoughts of the scriptures consider the totality of the creation

as the created land with all its beings floating on the ocean of the Lord beyond

creation .Hence the Lord is to be meditated as the shore of every aspect  of

creation.

 

6. Through the god-men on this earth , the Lord manifests as the virtues that

measure everthing with  truth as the law of existence.With this as their

policy, they over come and surpass everthing and everyone from the defective

steps unto perfection
