ते होचुः क्व नु सोऽभूद्यो न इत्थमसक्तेति । अयमास्येऽन्तरिति । सोऽयास्य आङ्गिरसोऽङ्गानां हि रसः ॥
te hocuḥ kva nu so'bhūdyo na itthamasakteti | ayamāsye'ntariti | so'yāsya āṅgiraso'ṅgānāṃ hi rasaḥ ||
They said: 'Where was he who has stood by us like this?' 'He is here within the mouth (āsya).' So he is Ayāsya Āṅgirasa, for he is the essence (rasa) of the limbs (aṅga).
उन्होंने कहा: 'वह कहाँ था जिसने इस प्रकार हमारा साथ दिया?' 'यह मुख (आस्य) के भीतर है।' इसलिए वह अयास्य आंगिरस है, क्योंकि वह अंगों का रस (सार) है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
What truly holds us together is not the senses that seek pleasure but the quiet life-breath within, which we rarely notice.
जो हमें सचमुच संभाले रखता है, वह सुख खोजती इंद्रियाँ नहीं, भीतर का शांत प्राण है, जिस पर हमारा ध्यान शायद ही जाता है।
Brihadaranyaka 1.3.8: the gods ask who it was that stood by them; the answer is the breath within the mouth, named Ayāsya Āṅgirasa because it is the essence of the limbs.
