Do thou, since thou hast been extolled, hurl down my enemies by thy great might!” “To the bull that slays the enemy, to Kâma, do I render tribute with ghee, oblation, and (sacrificial) melted butter. Nīcáiḥ sapátnān máma padaya tvám abhíṣṭuto mahatā́ vīryèṇa |” “sapatnahánam r̥ṣabháṃ ghr̥téna kā́maṃ śikṣāmi havíṣā́jyena Now, let’s proceed with the analysis of the hymn. These hidden aspects have been brought out in my commentary. of clearcut indications from which we would know the reality. This is why the hymn “Kāma-Sūkta” is also addressed to Bhagawan Rudra in his aspect of the primordial god of desire.Īlthough this hymn does not name ‘Rudra’ directly anywhere, yet, there are umpteen no. Because he pervades everything as their lifeforce, he is the “Prana”, and so on so forth…Įverything is Bhagawan Rudra and all names point at one or other of his various attributes, or at his tasks.– beyond the universe as the infinite fire of consciousness, within the universe he exists as the three-fold types of fires (grāhapatyā etc.) as a carrier of the sacrificial libations to the recipients and within the microcosm (bodies of Jivas) as the gastric fire (vaisvānara) – Hence he is the one who is called as “Agni”. Because he is the one who exists as the fire in three planes – viz.Because all the created beings (including all the gods) are created by him and all of them are his “paśus”, and he is the sole lord of all, he is called “Paśupati”.Because he is the Anger that keeps control over the administration of the universe, he is lord “Manyu”.For instance –īecause his “desire” created the universe, he is the primordial god of desire, hence he is lord “Kāma”. Those seers know that it is Bhagawan Rudra alone whose various attributes are sung in Vedas. For ignorant people, they look as hymns to different gods, but one who has discerning eyes would be able to understand the “r̥ṣī-hr̥daya” i.e., the heart of the seer. This is why they passed those Vedic hymns to us by stating the “dēvatā (deity)” of the hymns under different names. They realized that it is Bhagawan Rudra alone who adorns various aspects for various tasks of the universe. All the various seers (r̥ṣīs) of Vedas had uniformly realized the one fact that – all the Vedic hymns are actually the hymns for Rudra alone.
