Pranam Understanding is DHI in sanskrit apart from many words in different context. Dhī (धी).—[*dhyai bhāve kvip saṃprasāraṇaṃ ca*]*Dhi* (Sanskrit: धी) is a Sanskrit <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit> word meaning 'understanding', 'reflection', 'religious thought', 'mind', 'design', 'intelligence', 'opinion', 'meditation', 'imagination', 'notion', and 'intellect'.
1) (*a*) Intellect, understanding; धियः समग्रैः स गुणैरुदारधीः (*dhiyaḥ samagraiḥ sa guṇairudāradhīḥ*) R.3.3; cf. कुधी, सुधी (*kudhī, sudhī*) &c. धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात् (*dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt*) Gāyatrimantra; तत्राज्ञानं धिया नश्येदाभासात्तु घटः स्फुरेत् (*tatrājñānaṃ dhiyā naśyedābhāsāttu ghaṭaḥ sphuret*) Vedāntasāra. (*b*) Mind; दुष्टधी (*duṣṭadhī* ) wicked-minded; स्थितधीः किं प्रभाषेत (*sthitadhīḥ kiṃ prabhāṣeta*) Bhagavadgītā (Bombay) 2.54; R.3.3. 2 Vedic Sanskrit <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedic_Sanskrit> employs two words *Dhi* and Brahman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahman> for prayerful or meditative contemplation in which context *Dhi* means 'visionary insight', 'intense thought and reflection', and the word Brahman is derived from the root *brh*, meaning 'to grow', 'to expand' Manu Smriti <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Smriti> describes ten essential rules for observance of Dharma <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma> (the path of righteousness or the 'Law of Being', which binds the people of this world and the whole creation) – *Dhriti <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhriti>* ('patience'), *Kshama <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kshama>* ('forgiveness'), *Dama* ('self-control'), *Asteya <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteya>* ('honesty'), *Shaucha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaucha>* ('purity'), *Indriya-nigrah* ('control of senses'), *Dhi* ('reasoning'), *Vidya <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidya_(philosophy)>* ('knowledge and learning'), *Satya <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satya>* ('truthfulness') and *Akrodha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akrodha>* ('control of anger').{GUNA EVERY BRAHMIN TITLED MUST HAVE OR ELSE HE IS NOT}. 3 *Dhi*, the prefix of *Dhimahi* and *Dhiyo* occurring in the Gayatri Mantra <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayatri_Mantra> (Rig Veda <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rig_Veda>III.62.10) refers to 'understanding', and its cognate word *Buddhi* means 'reasoning faculty of the mind', which understanding must be transcended to experience the Ultimate Reality The word, *Dhira*, meaning 'calm', denotes the seeker whose intellect is saturated in knowledge which word is the combination of *Dhi* meaning 'intellect' and *ra* meaning 'fire' or 'wisdom'. The Non-Atman i.e. the Anatman <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatman_(Hinduism)>, which is by its nature disagreeable, is the object of the function of *Dhi* (=*buddhi*) which reveals the joy (*ananda*), the nature of the individual consciousness. Patanjali <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patanjali> defines Yoga <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoga> as neutralization of the alternating waves in consciousness; in the phrase *citta vritti nirodha* (Yoga Sutra I.2), *Citta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citta>* refers to the 'thinking principle' and includes 'pranic life forces', to *Manas <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manas_(early_Buddhism)>* ('mind' or 'sense consciousness'), *Ahamkara <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahamkara>* ('egoity') and *Buddhi <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhi>* ('intuitive intelligence'), and *Vritti <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vritti>* refers to the waves of thought and emotion that ceaselessly arise and Nirodha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirodha> refers to 'neutralization', 'cessation' or 'control'. The root *budh* and its derivatives appear in the Vedas <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedas> in the sense of 'kindling' or 'awakening', the word *buddhi* appears for the first time in *Samkhyayana Brahmana Upanishad*. *Dhi* is derived from *dhriti* and its cognate *didhiti*, it also refers to flash of intuition which is beyond all purely sensuous perception. The mental organs are *manas* ('mind') and *hrd* ('heart'), and the mental faculties are *citta* ('thought'), *dhi* ('mental vision') and *kratu* ('mental power'). *Manas* is said to perform the processes indicated by the verbal roots '*cit-*, *dhi-* and *man-*; *dhi* requires *kratu* in actualizing visions. 4 परिष्कृतास इन्दवो योषेव पित्र्यावती | वायुं सोमा असृक्षत || Parishkrathaasa indhavo yosheva picthyavathi// vaayum soma asrushath// informs us that having acquired the knowledge of the highest the learned people (easily) unravel the deeply hidden meaning of the most subtle kind. This means, that each experience of ours is a re-discovery of ourselves, and that in order to really re-discover ourselves so as to understand our true nature we have to firstly awaken our mind, then make the mind speak loudly enough to be heard because Prana <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prana>, which is the body of the mind, is that very silence waiting to be heard. A sage of the Rig Veda (Rig Veda X.20.9) states that the creator vested *Agni <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agni>* with three coloured flames and made it brilliant, eminent, swift-acting and hot. The sage of the Chandogya Upanishad <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandogya_Upanishad> tells us that behind all things are these three colours, the rest constituted out of them are a modification and a name. Speech is Rk or *Brhati <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brhati>* identified with *Prana <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prana>* whose lord is Brihaspati <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brihaspati>, the same lord is Brahmanaspati when speech is *Yajus <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yajus>* associated with Brahman. Speech is *Sama*; it cannot reveal itself for it is as formless as the air on which it rides; it rides upon the streams of air constituting the wind, and words once uttered do not return to the speaker. 5 Aravinder in VEDIC SYMBOLISM in first chapter describes the DHI the mind and thoughts wrt the rig veda in detail. I agree with the symbiotic thinking , getting along with the ancient system, progressing towards the enlightenments.
