Bhashya Acknowledgment
Subject - Hope and Fulfilment
Meaning -
Now with havi we do this homage to the four immortal guardians of the four quarters of space who oversee, control and protect all forms of existence. (The ruler guardians of the quarters of space according to Atharva Veda 3, 27, 1-6 are Agni, Indra, Varuna and Soma of the east, south, west and north, while Vishnu and Brhaspati are guardian rulers of the nether and upper directions. In the case of the human personality as well this same order of divine care is applicable, and these six versions of the power of Brahma Supreme protect us against hate, enmity and jealousy while they augment our physical, mental and spiritual potential as well.)
