Interpretations

Kapali Shastri

Translation

Tr. Indra and Vayu, swift as mind, the illumined call for increase; the thousand-eyed, lords of Intelligence.

Commentary

manojuvā mind-speeded, with a movement like the mind's (juv denotes movement); indravāya both the gods, Indra and Vayu; viprāḥ the illumined ones; ūtaye for increase; havante call; of what kind are they? sahasrākṣā they who have a thousand eyes, much-seeing; by association with the thousand-eyed; dhiyah of the upbearing intelligence; pati protectors -here too association with Indra is the cause.
