Ṛgveda 3.31.7

Interpretations

Sri Aurobindo

Most illumined in knowledge (vipratamaU, answering to the vepiIFho aOgirasam vipraU of VI.11.3), becoming a friend (sakhnyan, the Angirasas are friends or comrades in the great battle) he went (agacchat, upon the path, cf. gDtubhiU, discovered by Sarama); the hill sped forth its pregnant contents (garbham) for the doer of the good work; strong in manhood with the young (maryo yuvabhiU, the youth also giving the idea of unaging, undecaying force) he sought fullness of riches and own possession (sasDna makhasyan); so at once, chanting the hymn (arcan), he became an Angirasa. (SABCL, Vol. 10, p. 162)

He went , the greatest seer of them all, doing them friendship; the pregnant hill sent forth its contents for the doer of perfect works; in the strength of manhood he with the young (Angirasas) seeking plenitude of riches attained possession, then singing the hymn of light he became at once the Angirasa. Becoming in our front the form and measure of each existing thing, he knows all the births, he slays Shushna. (SABCL, Vol. 10, p. 208)
