samarUdA: samvatsara:

pratyakshENa pradhruSyate

is cognized by direct perception

( pratykasha anubhavam) .

the Samvatsaram however is not

clearly percieved .

a golden red mist eveloping the Sun's

orbit is the VaruNa lakshaNam

( symbol of VaruNa ).

sahasram tatra neeyatE

(Meaning): When this ( golden red

Truth ( satyam) is hidden by a golden

cup. Oh Sooryan ! Please remove this

obstacle to view Satyam by me

( HiraNmayEna pAtrENa satyasyApi

hitam mukham, Tath Thvam

tamaAharaNam dhadhyAt ---(7)

 

ubhayata: = during the two ayanams of

the Samvatsarams,

 

saptEndhriyANi =the janthus with seven

holes ( 2 ears , 2 eyes , 2 Nostrils

and one mouth) in the face are born

during these two ayanams

( DakshiNAyanam and UttarAyaNam) .

 

jalpitam thvEva dhihyatE= disputations

( VitaNdhAvAdham) about this are made

but no effort is made to understand

the real , spiritual knowledge behind

these creations .

 

samvatsarasya dakshiNa-VAmayO:

paarSvayO: Sukla-krushNE =

On both sides( Right and Left) of

the Kaala Purushan in the form of

samvatsaram ( Year) are the dark and

white entities ( Sukla Paksham and

KrishNa Paksham , UttarAyaNam and

DakshiNAyanam).

 

This reminds us of the Purusha Sookta

Mantram , " ahO rAtrE PaarSvE ",

where the upadEsam is that worshipping

the Kaala roopi , BhagavAn with day and

night at His side , is the most auspicious

phalan of this Life .

 

tasya yEshA bhavati = about this , the

next mantrams are about ( deal with) .

 

Pooshan! tE Suklam anyat; tE yajatam

anyat= Oh Pooshan ( Adityan symbolizing

prosperity) ! For You , the whiteness

(Suklam) is different ; For You ,the

worshipful blackness ( Yajatam) is

different.

 

ahanee vishurUpE ; Thvam dhyau iva

asi= For You , the day and night are

equal ; You are in their middle as

antariksham ( like the space between

earth and the sky ).

 

ViSvA hi MaayA avasi svadhAva:=

(svadhAva:) Oh Sooryan giving annam

to the world ! ( ViSva MaayA: avasi)=

You protect this world , which is forever

changing with VishNu Maayaa .

 

iha BhadrA tE Pooshann-iha-rAtir-astviti

(astu+iti) =The word is that in this world ,

Your benovolent acts are indicated to be

behind the growth of all auspciousness .

 

atra na bhuvanam , na PooshA , na PaSava:

na Aditya: Samvatsara yEva pratyakshENa

priyatamam= When one examines this truism ,

it is clear that there is no world , the devatai

that nouriushes the world, no animals and no

Sooryan . Only the Kaalam in the form of

Samvatsaram is directly percieved with utter

delight as the existing doctrine( entity)

that is behind all others ( Bhuvanam, Pasu ,

devatais and Adityan).

 

yEtatvai samvatsarasya priyatamam roopam=

The most desired roopam of Samavatsaram is

this one with the admixture of White and Black.

 

asya mahAn artha: ya: bhavati tamm AharaNam

idham puNyam kurushva iti = What stays

the best phalan for this Jeevan is to be

offered as upadEsam instructing the jeevan

to perform that PuNya Kaaryam .

 

The audio file of the first Part of

AruNam will be sent seperately in

the near future .
