Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. Agni, bring to this sacrifice for increase the spouses of the Gods, O youthful one, speech of call and Bharati, pervasive and conscious.

Commentary

agne O Agni; avase for increase, for our growth; gnāḥ spouses of the Gods; iha in this sacrifice; āvaha fetch; yaviştha 0 most youthful, capable, of bringing; hotrām speech, being the speech of call; likewise bharatim the light of Bharata, the Sun; bring the Truth-Light endowed with the vastness and brilliance of the wide light of Truth; varutrim covers, who shines enveloping all; dhişaņām conscious (Bharati, do bring).

We have discussed about Bharati earlier in the Apri hymn and elsewhere. She is the truth-lustre of the Vast Light, the foundation of Revelation and Inspiration, Ila and Sarasvati. Here by mentioning Hotra, Varutri, Dhisana (call of speech, envelopper, consciousness) the forces that indicate her power and form, a concord equally applying to these with Bharati is demonstrated. Thus by not mentioning the governed word it helps to lay stress on and explain the import. But Sayana thinks that hotrā is spouse of Agni carrying out the Homa, Bharati spouse of Aditya, Varutri Dhisana is Sarasvati.

Thus ends the fifth group in the second Chapter of the first Eighth.
