|
| 1.
Fame to us both: Brahma-varchasa to us both. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 2.
Now, then, the Upanishad of Samhita (the sacred teaching
about conjunction) shall we declare in the five objects:
in the worlds, in the lights, in knowledge, in progeny,
in the self. These are great conjunctions, they say. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3.
Now as to the worlds: earth is the first form, heaven
the next form, the interspace the junction, air the medium;
thus far as to the worlds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4.
Now as to the lights: fire is the first form, sun the
second form, water the junction, lightning the medium.
Thus far as to the lights. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5.
Now as to knowledge: master is the first form, pupil the
second form, knowledge the junction, instruction the medium.
Thus far as to knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 6.
Now as to progeny: mother is the first form, father the
second form, progeny the junction, procreation the medium.
Thus far as to progeny. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 7.
Now as to the self: lower jaw is the first form, upper
jaw the second form, speech the junction, tongue the medium.
Thus far as to the self. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 8.
Thus these are the great conjunctions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Whoso
should contemplate these great conjunctions thus declared
is endued with progeny and cattle, with brahma-varchasa,
with food to eat, with the region of svarga. |
