Dear Jaysree
Thank you for the explanation on the word Hri and meaning of the remaining
stanzas of purusha Sukta and further elucidation from upanishad and Taitriya
Aranyaka..
You have explained
The exact translation goes thus:-
hreeshca te lakshmeeshca patnyau | ahorAtre pArshve |
nakshatrANi roopam | ashvinau vyAttam |
iSHTam maniSHANa |
amum maniSHANa |
sarvam maniSHANA ||
(hreeshca) Hree and (lakshmishca) Laskhmi are (patnyau) wives (te)
to you. (aho - rAtre) The day and the night (pArshve) your sides.
(nakshatrANi) the Stars (roopam) your brilliant form. (ashvinau)
the Healing Ashvins (vyAttam) your mouth
I am giving below the meaning as given in the vyakhyanam of Puthur Srivasa
Iyengar.
hreeshca te lakshmeeshca patnyau - Bhomidevi and Lakshmi are your Patnis.
ahorAtre pArshve -- They are together with you during day and night|
nakshatrANi roopam --- You are luminous like stars.
ashvinau vyAttam -- You are beautiful like Ashwini devas
|ISHTam maniSHANa -- Let our desires be fulfilled|
amum maniSHANa -- Let us get Kainkarya Prapthi|
sarvam maniSHANA --Let us get all we want
Hri is also used in Valmiki Ramayana as Bhoomi Devi in Yuddha Canta 109-6
Ramasya dakshine parsve Padma Sri samavastita
Savye tu Hrir visalakshi .
meaning Lakshmi was on the right side and Bhoo Devi on the left side.
I am particularly thankful for your pointing out Patnyau as dvivachanam
