BHRUGUVALLI EIGHTH AND NINTH ANUVAKAS



                         
                                        Anna Brahmopasana  Vrata Niyamaha
                                           (The Rules of Anna Brahmopasana)

Mantra:  annam naparichakshita  apova annam  jyothirannada  mapsu jyothi prathistitam

…….

Meaning: Water taken in is absorbed   by the body  (jataragni).  Therefore  water becomes annam. Jyothis  or radiance becomes annaada. As there is electricity in rain water and as sweat appears on the body, both water and radiance  fix  themselves  mutually, They also become  annam  mutually. A person who realizes this and performs upasana shall have plenty of  food , good hunger, children, herds of  cattle, the effulgence of the Brahman and great renown. Here the emphasis is that readily available annam should not be rejected.                                                                                                                                           
                                                                               
                                                                    Ninth Anuvaka

Mantra:  annam bahukurvita tadvratam pruthivi vaannama akaasonnadaha……..

One has to earn annam  intensely for feeding the unexpected guests (atithis). This is the  vratha-religious regimen. As the earth is in between the space(akasa) above and below it becomes anna  and akasa becomes annaada. To the common view , as akasa is seen above the earth , earth becomes the base for akasa. Analytical view considers akasa as the base for the earth. So we have to imagine their mutual dependence and  becoming  annam  to each other mutually.
One who realizes this and performs  upasana , as in the previous cases ,shall have plenty of food ,the state of being annaada, children, herds of cattle, and renown in the world without fail.
