eye . Veda Vyasa, the Lord of truthful speech and utterance is the very

incarnation of the Lord who is born immaculate .

 

EXPLANATION :

 

1.Lord Narayana is famous with his bow, Sarnga which is the right symbol of the

mind and the respiration of the student of meditation during the attempt to

utter forth OM.

2.Rudra had a fight with Nara ,the great celestial sage . In that fight, Rudra

has his axe broken . Hence he is called the Lord with broken axe .Also the

incarnation of Parasurama is called Khandaparasu meaning the one who cuts the

enemies with his axe.

3.The Lord’s form is terrible when the diabolical forces tresspass against

good people,ladies and cows. Also the word Daruna means the wooden form of the

Lord . It means the Lord as the –dweller of the trees and the whole plant

kingdom .

4.As the manifestation of the cycle of the year, the Lord is the distributor of

wealth to those who follow his plan of yagna by worshipping the

animal,plant,earth and heaven in the form of agriculture.

5.As space of Lord, He pervades the series of layers that lay between the earth

and the heavens (solid matter and the empty space as well as the contents in

between).

6.The Sun god is the all- seeing eye of the whole solar system since he works as

the faculty of sight in the individuals and the role of the seer as the

individual soul.

7.Vyasa comes down to earth in intervals as an intelligence which rearrange the

eternal wisdom time and again for the benefit of rendering it understandable to

the people of the various languages through various centuries.

8.Vyasa is the Lord of speech and utterance since he utters forth the Vedas into

different books and different imports.

9.Vyasa is born to the virgin called satyavati(truth-bearing nature) and the

great light parasara (one who points out,the higher realization).Hence His birth

is through immaculate conception.
