Pranam
Indepth study would have rendered a few heightened in content. Bhrigu is
the manaseeka putra of brahma as the first in the first batch of Sapta
rishi. RV 10 46 is assigned to Agni. Bhrigu goes in search of Agni; finds
him in the water; Brugu went following the agni tracks, as the lost cow is
tracked by its footprint in the second verse. Agni can be quenched by water
and water can burn in agni. It means that the heat of agni the fire and
its flames, may be more powerful than the water quantum and force at times;
hence the quenching chemicals were invented; phosphorus is placed inside
the water only lest it may not catch fire. A quantum of agni may scorch a
pond full of water too. Science today accepts it. Here the Brugu wanted to
start the Yagnam and so agni is needed as a purohit. The same agni is
granted permission through the curse of bhrigu to devour the yagna products
too. The Rig vedam teach many things and the lines R V 10.46 reads as if
Agni was found and the methods were narrated. But the pralayam is the
cosmic water hidden without a vessel as a Black hole in which the agni was
hidden; the srishti began out of the darkness, since agni glow was hidden
in the cosmic water and R V wonders in Nasadiya suktam, as HOW?. When the
meditation of the Brahmam, resorted to manifest, the darkness was off with
the loud sound of AUM, and there was again lighted. The cosmic water was
drunk by the hot molten agni and the agni in turn caused rain water flow
where the earth floated . Murma brought out the earth. The manifested
species were from Fish under Dasavatharam, where the perfect human was RAMA
the 7th avataram, hence human denoted as 7th in order. KR IRS 24222
Tali mangalyam again gets repeated which I had stated elaborately
already. Aditya hrudayam sarva mangala mangalyam has nothing to do with the
mangalsutra; for thy information, it was called sutra since, originally
Mangalya sutra was tied around the wrist and only became around the neck
long after.
Droṇa (द्रोण).—The teacher in archery of the Pāṇḍavas and the
Kauravas. *Birth.* Droṇa was the son of Bharadvāja who had his hermitage
erected on the bank of the Ganges. Once Bharadvāja went to bathe in the
river. When he got into the river he saw the celestial maid Ghṛtācī. The
celestial maid ran away as soon as she saw the hermit. But her clothes got
caught in grass and slipped off her body. When the hermit saw the complete
form of her body which was bright and beautiful, he had seminal discharge.
The discharged semen was kept in a Droṇa (trough). A child was born from
that and he was named Droṇa, who was brought up in the hermitage.
(Mahābhārata Ādi Parva, Chapter 13). KR IRS 24222
