He extends these (verses) by (interpolating) the sound 1. Verily, the sound is purusha, man. Therefore every man when he speaks, sounds loud, as it were.\n2. At the end of each foot of the first verse of the hymn tad id \u00e2sa, he inserts one foot of the second verse of hymn Rv. VIII, 69, nadam va odat\u00een\u00e2m, &c. Thus the verse is to be recited as follows:\nTad id \u00e2sa bhuvaneshu gyeshtham pu\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0nadam va odat\u00een\u00e2m,\n Yato gag\u00f1a ugras tveshanrimno ru\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0nadam yoyuvat\u00een\u00e2m,\n Sadyo gag\u00f1\u00e2no ni rin\u00e2ti satr\u00fbn\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0patim vo aghny\u00e2n\u00e2m,\n Anu yam visve madanti \u00fbm\u00e2h sho\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0dhen\u00fbn\u00e2m ishudhyasi.\nIn nadam va odat\u00een\u00e2m (Rv. VIII, 69, 2), odati 1 are the waters in heaven, for they water all this; and they are the waters in the mouth, for they water all good food.\n3. In nadam yoyuvat\u00een\u00e2m (Rv. VIII, 69, 2), yoyuvat\u00ee are the waters in the sky, for they seem to inundate; and they are the waters of perspiration, for they seem to run continually.\n4. In patim vo aghny\u00e2n\u00e2m (Rv. VIII, 69, 2), aghny\u00e2 are the waters which spring from the smoke of fire, and they are the waters which spring from the organ.\n5. In dhen\u00fbn\u00e2m ishudhyasi (Rv. VIII, 69, 2), the dhenu (cows) are the waters, for they delight all this; and ishudhyasi means, thou art food.\n6. He extends a Trishtubh and an Anushtubh 2. Trishtubh is the man, Anushtubh the wife, and they make a couple. Therefore does a man, after having found a wife, consider himself a more perfect man.\n7. These verses, by repeating the first three times, become twenty-five. The trunk is the twenty-fifth, and Prag\u00e2pati is the twenty-fifth 3. There are ten fingers on his hands, ten toes on his feet, two legs, two arms, and the trunk the twenty-fifth. He adorns that trunk as the twenty-fifth. Now this day consists of twenty-five, and the Stoma hymn of that day consists of twenty-five: it becomes the same\nthrough the same. Therefore the two, the day and the hymn, are twenty-five 1.\n181:1 The sound, nada, is really a verse beginning with nadam, and which is interpolated after the syllables pu ru shah.\n182:1 The nasal pluta on iti is explained as p\u00e2daprat\u00eekagrahane 'tyantam\u00e2dar\u00e2rthah. Cf. Ait. \u00c2r. II, 1, 4, 3.\n182:2 Tad id \u00e2sa is a Trishtubh, nadam vah an Anushtubh.\n182:3 Cf. I, 1, 2, 7; I, 1, 4, 21.","title":"The Upanishads, Part 1 (SBE01): Aitareya-\u00c2ranyaka: I, 3, 5","type":"page"}
