273. Sipivishtah -Sipi is the name given to the " Sacrificial cow " . The

term denotes the One who sanctified all dedicated offerings poured

into all fields of selfless sacrifices (Yajna). The root Si has also

the meaning of waters; Sipi-`that which drinks water' – " The rays of

the Sun " . Thus Sipivishtah would indicate the Supreme, who is the

Presiding deity in the Sun, giving it both its energy of heat and

light. In Geeta, the Lord confesses: " Understand that the light and

energy that expresses themselves through the sun and moon is the Light

and Glory essentially belonging to Me " .
