1 Atri = a (not ) + tri (three). Not three, but three in one. Anasuyâ = (not)+*asuyâ* (envy, intolerance, jealousy).
"Where was he, who thus established us? He Is within the mouth; hence is Ayâsya. He is Angirasa, because he is the essence of the members." Brihat Aranyaka I 3 8 2 Utathya, another son of Angiras, is u+tathya. U is an interjection, used as an expletive — Tathya means reality, truth — Utathya is said to be an incarnation of Vishnu. 3 Sinivâli is the day preceding that of the new moon or that day on which the moon rises with a scarcely visible crescent. Kuhâ is a new moon day when the moon is altogether invisible. 4 Râkâ is the full moon day. 5 Anumati is the fifth day of the moon's age on which she rises one digit less than full. The full moon and new moon days have thus a mysterious connection with the essence of all beings. On those days the herbs have their medicinal properties in full and even men have mysterious potencies, which have formed the subject of occult study. 6 Pulastya = Pula + Stya. Pula is large, wide. It also means a thrill of joy or fear. Stya is he who collects, is connected with, remains in. Agastya = Aga + Stya. Aga is mountain, unable to walk, fixed. 7 According to the Bhâgavata, Agastya is the digestive fire of the stomach. 8 Visravas = Vi (signifying intensity) + Sravas (ear). 9 Kubera is literally deformed. He is the god of riches and Regent of the North. He is the king of the Yakshas and Kinnaras and a friend of Rudra. His abode is Kailâsa. He is represented as having three legs, only eight teeth and a yellow mark in place of one eye. 10 Râvana, Kumbhakarna and Vibhishana are Râkshasas made famous by the Râmayana. Râvana is one who makes a loud noise. e Râkshasas reached the height of their power in his time. e Yakshas, before his time, had occupied Lankâ or Atlantis under Kubera, but Râvana propitiated Śiva by his loud hymns, and acquired easy mastery over his kindred elementals. He ousted the Yakshas from Lankâ and made it his own capital. Râvana also controlled the higher Devas of Trilokî. 11 Kumbha karna = Kumbha (pitcher) + Karna (ear). is pitcher-eared brother of Râvana is said to have devoured thousands of beings including sages and heavenly nymphs. He slept for six months at a time. He was ultimately slain by Râma. 12 Vibhisana, meaning the Terrible, le his brother Râvana and joined Râma. Aer the death of Râvana, Râma installed him on the throne of Lankâ. He is said to be still living. 13 Pulaha = Pula + ha. Ha is one who gives up. Gati is motion. Karma-Srestha is one most skilled in karma or work. Varîyas is excellent, preferable. Sahishnu is patient, enduring. Pulaha seems to be the higher aspect of Kâma — the impulses pure and simple, apart from their Kâmic generator, or perhaps Pulaha may represent Prânic activity. 14 Kratu is a Vedic sacrifice, intelligence, power, ability. Kriyâ is action. 15 Bâlakhilyas — are a class of Rishis 60,000 in number, of the size of the thumb, and are said to precede the sun's chariot. The word literally implies stunted growth like infants. These Rishis are said to burn brightly with the spiritual fire of asceticism. The number 60,000 is significant. It indicates a correspondence. 16 Perhaps the Rishis represent the sense perceptions which are guided by the Adhidevas who have their abode in the heart of the sun. The Balakhilya Rishis are therefore said to accompany the sun's chariot. eir connection with Vedic sacrifices is also intelligible, as they are generally directed to the Adhidevas. 17 Vaśisthâ is the Controller. He is the spiritual teacher of the Solar Race and represents spiritual Intelligence or Higher Manas. He is the controller of the senses and the lower mind. 18 Urjâ is Energy. She is also called Arundhati. 19 Atharvan — the Veda called by that name. 20 Dadhîth — The name of a Rishi who accepted death In order to serve the Devas. Visvakarmân forged the thunderbolt with his bones and Indra defeated Vritra, the Asura King, with that weapon. The line of Atharvan represents self sacrifice for universal good as well as magic or occult wisdom. 21 Bhrigu — is the Dweller of Mahar Loka, or the Archetypal plane. Upon the Pralaya of Trilokî, the essence of that triple plane and its Karma become embedded in Mahar Loka. The creative process sets in again in strict conformity to the Karma of the past. Bhrigu is therefore father of: 22 Dhâtâ — or Universal Karma 23 Vidhâtâ — or Individual Karma, and 24 Sri or Lakshmî — the wife of Vishnu, the Energy of Preservation. 25 Ayati — or potency is the wife of Dhâtâ, Mrikandu and Markandeya, are in this line. 26 Niyati — or fate, is the wife of Vidhâtâ. Prâna and Vedasiras are in this line. 27 Kavi — is another son of Bhrigu and Usanas or Sukra is Kavi's son. But according to some authorities Kavi is the same as Usanas. It is a mather for reflection how Sukra or the presiding Rishi of the planet Venus is connected with Mahar Loka or the trans-personal plane. Mahar Loka is the first approach to universality and therefore may correspond to Higher Manas. However that be, Venus corresponds to the first plane of universality. 28 Marîthi — is Monâdic ray or Âtmâ-Buddhi, 29 Atri — is the adjustment of the creative, preservative and destructive tendencies in a Jiva, 30 Angiras — is the Essence of Creation, the auric repository of the Jiva, 31 Pulastya — is Kâmic Intelligence, 32 Pulaha — is higher Kâmic Intelligence, or it may be Prânic also, 33 Kratu — is lower Mânasic Intelligence, 34 Vasishtha — is Higher Mânasic Intelligence. 35 Daksha — is the Able. 36 Prasûti — is the Mother, the Procreative Energy. During the First Manvantara Daksha had nothing to do with sexual procreation. He was the father of primal energies. These energies were wedded to Dharma, Agni, the Pitris and Śiva to Dharma and one to each of the others. 37 Dharma — is that which binds the creation. Man and man, man and animal, animal and animal, all forms of creation are kept together by Dharma. The binding forces of creation are the wives of Dharma. 38 Sraddhâ or Faith is the first wife of Dharma. Her son is Satya or Truth. 39 Maitri or Friendliness is the second wife. Her son is Prasâda or complacence. 40 Dayâ or compassion is the third wife. Her son is Abhaya or Freedom from fear. 41 Sânti or Peace is the fourth wife. Her son is Sama or Tranquility. the fifth wife is Tushti or contentment. Her son is Harsha or joy. the sixth wife is Pushti or Fullness. Her son is Garva or Pride. the seventh wife is Kriyâ. Her son is Yoga. the eighth wife is Unnati or Advancement. Her son is Darpa or Vanity. the ninth wife is Buddhi. Her son is Artha. the tenth wife is Medhâ or Intellect. Her son is Smriti or Memory. the eleventh wife is Titikshâ or Forbearance. Her son is Kshema or Wellbeing. the twelth wife is Lajjâ or Shame. Her son is Vinaya or Modesty. the thirteenth and last wife of Dharma is Mûrti or Form. Her sons are Nara and Nârâyana, i.e. Humanity and Divinity. e Human Form constitute a Duality. 42 t is in this dual form that Sri Krishna incarnated Himself. 43 From Dharma we pass to Agni. [Agni is used in many senses. It means the channel of communication between different kingdoms in nature, specially between Man and Deva, as also a vehicle of consciousness, and sometimes consciousness itself. It also means the Rupa or form-giving principle in the Universe. It is frequently used in the Purânas in the last sense.] Agni was wedded to Svâhâ, the fifth. daughter of Daksha. His three sons are Pâvaka or the Purifier, Pavamân or that which is being purified and Sâthi or Pure. They have 45 sons who with their fathers and grandfather form the Forty-nine Fires. They are separately mentioned in the Vedic Sacrifices in honour of Agni. 44 Svadhâ is the fifth. daughter of Daksha. She was married to Pitris. Agnishvatvâ, Barhishad, Sōmapa and Âjyapa are the names of the Pitris. They are with fire (Sagni) or without fire (Niragini). Svadhâ bore two daughters to the Pitris, Vayunâ and Dhârini. Both of them were well-versed in the Supreme wisdom. 45 [Vayânâ is knowledge, wisdom, and the faculty of perception. Dhârini means that which bears, holds, carries, supports. Sometimes the word is used to mean the earth. This two-fold classification means that some of the Pitris give the body, which is the receptacle or carrier, with its subdivisions, and others give knowledge, wisdom and the faculties of perception]. 46 Sâti is the last daughter of Daksha. She was wedded to Śiva. KR IRS 20423 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
