As we "all" know by now, the "normal" count of syllables

Diirghatamas, the son of Ucathya and Maamateya,
has only 10 of them on the first line of Rgveda I 164, 39:
R-co a-kSa-re pa-ra-me vyo-man
To add injury to insult, the form 'vyoman' is a "crippled"
form of the regular locative singular, 'vyomani',
"The omission of the final syllable is archaic as in `parame
vyoman'
which should really be `parame vyomani'."

'vyomaa':
Its the "Sky Mother" obviously, or the Universal Yoni, or the
Eternal Unbounded field (the 'home' or vessel' for of all the
laws
of nature.) 'Vyomaa', the Atma, which must have the energy of
Bhuddi
(an impulse of creative intelligence) in order to take form.
Nice post OffWorld!
Is Heaven the Unified Field?>>
""According to this derivation heaven would be conceived as the roof
of the world. Others trace a connection between 'himin' (heaven)
and 'home'. According to this view, which seems to be the more
probable, heaven would be the abode of the Godhead.""

I believe that human words all mean the same few basic things, based
on the fact that the universe exists by virtue of the interaction of
a few fundamental energies. I think humans make a dozen or more
words for the same things, and it is the loss of this simplicity of
life that has caused all the strife and disagreement (the tower of
Babel (babble) that we build and confuse the languages of men.)
Heaven just means something like "home of all the laws of nature,
the Devas". In the Western traditions it is where the angels (root:
angirasas/agni) and the Godhead exist, just like in the 'Richo
Akshare' verse of the Vedas that Cardmeister quoted. The Godhead is
just the wholeness of all the others, that is more than the sum of
its parts.
Beautiful, thanks.
