Atah   samudra   girayas-ca   sarve-smat

syandante   sindhavah   sarva-rupah,

atas   ca   sarva   osadhaya   rasas-ca

yenaisa   bhutais-tisthate   hy-antaratma.

 

From Him, :-

All the oceans and mountains; from him,  the rivers of every description; from him, too, all herbs and saps by which the subtle body( sushma sariram) exists encircled by the gross elements of matter.


Explanation:-


In the previous mantras, we studied That from the Supreme Reality came all the dynamic aspects of nature and the entire kingdom of living organisms. This mantram  is here  indicating that even mountains, oceans, rivers, are all manifestations of the same  Eternal Truth. Earth, when watered by the rivers becomes favourable  field for plant-life, and then plants grow. In the plant the sap and by ddigesting the sap, the beings preserve and maintain themselves; they grow and cultivate their bodies. Food  in its subtlest potency, nourishes the mind and intellect which constitute the subtle body. In short, the entire world outside and within ourselves, have arisen from the one principle, the ATMA.

(Self effulgent Brahmam) & Mantram-10. (All Illuminating Brahmam.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here the word ‘karma’ is used in the plural. A controversy has arisen by commentators interpreting the word ‘karma’ as plural. How many karmas are there? Plural implies more than two. In Sanskrit grammar, plural is not dual, it is more than dual. In the English language, more than one is plural. But in Sanskrit, more than one is dual, and more than dual is plural. Here karm??i is plural, which means more than two. Does it mean that more than two karmas are destroyed, or are only two karmas destroyed? There are three kinds of karma—sanchita, agami

Many of these verses sound like the verses of the Bhagavadgita, in the Ninth Chapter, where it is said that after enjoying the glories of heaven you come back due to the exhaustion of the merits accumulated by good deeds. Ishta and purta are two types of good deeds that people do in this world. Sacrifices along the lines of the Vedic injunctions are called ishta. Other philanthropic deeds such as distributing we
