Word by Word Meaning of the 52nd Mantram

 

Ya: taa: vijAnAt sa: Savitu: pitA = The Jn~Ani who has the vivEkam about Brahman and sees all created beings as the manifestations of Brahman becomes the father of his own father .

 

The worshipful status of the Jn~Ani is referred to here . The Jn~Ani, who has become a sanyAsi is eligible now for the

worship by his own father.

 

andha: maNim avindhat , tamm ananguli Aavayat, agreeva: pratyamunchat, ajihvA tamm asascchata=The Jn~Ani who comprehends the Supreme soul (Aatma vastu) is like a blind man who recieved a beautiful gem ,like one without finger placing that gem on his nonexistent finger , like one without a neck wearing that gem on his phantom neck and like one who has no tongue praising the glory of that gem .

 

The Upanishad vaakyams describing the sightless seeing , the lame running etc:

apANi paadhO javanOgruheetA paSyat-achakshu: sa SruNOtyakarNa:

 

Urdhvamoolam avAk chAkam vruksham ya: samprati vEdha , sa Jana: mrutyu maa marayAth iti jaatu na SraddhadyAt)=One who comprehends the tree of SamsAram with its roots growing upward and the branches growing downwards ,while he is still part of this universe , will not believe ever that Yamadharman will kill him .

 

KaDOpanishad and Bhagavad Geethai describe SamsAric world has upward spreading roots and downward stretching branches.The fruits of this tree are PuNyams and Paapams. Two birds( JeevAtma and ParamAtma) live on this tree.One who understands this tattvam

overcomes mrutyu .

 

hasitam rudhitam geetam= Laughter and crying takes place in this samsAra vruksham.

 

Bhagavat Geetai 13.6 describes this: love and hatred, pleasure and pain, laughter and sorrow are all linked to the body . They are not linked to the AatmA.
