Far-sighted, wise, encompassing, he self-existent hath prescribed aims, as propriety demands, unto the everlasting Years. 9 Deep into shade of blinding gloom fall Asambhûti's worshippers. They sink to darkness deeper yet who on Sambhûti are intent. 10 One fruit, they say, from Sambhava, another from Asambhava. Thus from the sages have we heard who have declared this hore to us. 11 The man who knows Sambhûti and Vinâșa simultaneously, He, by Vinâsa passing death, gains by Sambhûti endless life. 8 He: the man who has this right knowledge of the Self. The Bright, etc.: Brahma, the Highest Essence, the Supreme Being. Sri Sankara explains differently: He the Atma) encompassed or pervaded all, being bright, etc., thus putting these neuter adjectives in apposition to the masculine pronoun sah (he). Mahidhara also gives this alternative explanation. Fur-sighted, etc.: referring either to the man who knows, or to the Atma, according to the preferred interpretation of the first line of the verse. As propriety demands: so that every living being might receive the proper fruit of his action. Years: Prajapatis or Creative Powers, Prajapati being identified with the Year, of which he is the Presiding Genius. See IX. 20; XXVII. 45. 9 In order to enjoin the combined worship of Asambhuti and Sambhuti, their separate worship is coademned. Asambhuti is, according to Sri Sankara. undeveloped Prakriti, Fature in its causal or germinal state when it has not evolved as the universe which is the effect. It is also called tamas, darkness or chaos. This worship is mere blindness and ignorance, and its adherents fall into corresponding darkness. Sambhúti: explained by Sri Sankara as the manifestation of Braama as Brahmi the phenomenal creator, called Hiranyagarbha the Golden Germ, or Prajapati. See R. V. X. 121. According to Mahidhara's first explanation, Asambhati is the denial of a new birth or existence after death, and Sambh iti is the exclusive assertion of that belief, devotion to which will produce excess in the practice of Karma. 10 The text now declares the separate fruit of each element of the com. bined worship of Undeveloped Nature and Hiranyagarbha in order to teach their combination, having first condemned the cults practised separately. From Sambhava: from the cult of Sambhava which is the same as Sambhati in verse 9, or Hiranyagarbha. Asambhava: Undeveloped Nature or Asambhûti. The result of the former cult is the attainment of certain supernatural powers called Siddhis which enable their possessor to increase or reduce his size and weight to any extent at his pleasure, etc. Eight of these faculties are usually enumerated. The worship of Prakriti results in absorp tion into Prakriti. Each, therefore, fails to attain the object to be desired, redintegration in the Supreme Self. 11 Sambhúti: standing for Asambhuti, say the Commentators, by aphae resis, and so meaning Undeveloped Nature. Vin isa: (Destruction) that is, |
