Word by word Meanings of
the 67th Mantram
The prayer is to have full Veda
PrAyam and the appeal is to the abhimAni dEvathais of the Mithunam ( Couple
or paired unit) of Day and night .
After the prayer, a Paadham of Sacred
Gayari mantram is included in this panchAti:" Om bhUrbhuva: svAhaa".Here, "BhU:" stands for the first
paadham of the Gaayatri mantram; Bhuva: and Suva: represent the second and the
third paadhams of the powerful Gaayatri Mantram invoked by us during the sun
rise and setting as well as during the midday .The paired relationship( mithuna
sambhandham) between the Jeevan and the ParamAtma is indicated here , when
Gaayatri mantram is recited .
Many mitunams ( sukla-KrishNa pakshams,
Day and night ) are linked to the sanchAram of the Sun .They are
always united . In a similar manner the mithunams invoked by Husband and wife,
Father and son , possessor-possessed ( in the case of cattle
,
house) are requested to be spared from
the harsh impact of akAla Mrutyu in the four mantrams starting from the sixty
fourth .
