(142) Bhojanam -The immediate meaning of the term is food, viz.

eatables. In philosophy it has a wider implication and the term " food "

cannotes the entire field-of-objects experienced or enjoyed by the

sense-organs. The world-of-objects projected by the sense-organs, the

inner psychological play and this world-of-matter constituting the

field-of-plurality, all together is comprehended by the term Maayaa.

Thus cathodox commentators reduce this term `Bhojanam' to the contents

and functions of Maayaa. Taittireeya Upanishad (2-7) says: " He is

indeed the Essence (Rasa) " .
