विषय - अविद्या के नाश से विद्या की प्राप्ति का उपदेश।
पदार्थ -
[हे अविद्या !] (उत्तुदः) तेरा उखाड़नेवाला [विद्वान्] (त्वा) तुझको (उत् तुदतु) उखाड़ दे। (स्वे शयने) अपने शयन स्थान [हृदय] में (मा धृथाः) मत ठहर। (कामस्य) सुकामना का (या) जो [तेरे लिये] (भीमा) भयानक (इषुः) तीर है, (तया) उससे (त्वा) तुझको (हृदि) हृदय में (विध्यामि) बेधता हूँ ॥१॥
भावार्थ - सब स्त्री पुरुष ब्रह्मचर्यादि तपोबल द्वारा अविद्या को हृदय से मिटावें, जैसे शूर वीर योद्धा शत्रु सेना को अस्त्र शस्त्रों से मार गिराता है ॥१॥ इस सूक्त में स्त्री लिङ्ग शब्द अविद्या और विद्या के लिए आये हैं। पहले तीन मन्त्र अविद्यापरक, और पिछले तीन विद्यापरक हैं। अलङ्कार से अविद्या को दुःखदायिनी और विद्या को सुखदायिनी मानकर संबोधन किया है ॥

Subject - Love and Passion: Fidelity
Meaning -
This sukta begins with the voice of passion, violent passion indeed (verses 1-3). Verses 4-6 are the call of reason for canalisation of passion into love for fulfilment with balance and settlement into the sacred state of marriage and family life. In fact hymns from 21 to 25 form a unit by themselves: 21 celebrates various forms of fire and energy including sex and love and ends with the word ‘ashishamam’, ‘I have pacified the fire’, the aids are given in verse 10. There can be no achievement in life without the passion to work and achieve (22). In family life, the man and wife, both in unison, live, love, work for fulfilment and look forward to achieve continuity and futurity through progeny. Hence sukta 23 is dedicated to the cure of sterility. Once family life is blest with love, cooperation, happy progeny and promising futurity, you work for prosperity, and that is celebrated in sukta 24 from family level to the ultimate social level. And hymn 25 is dedicated to passion in balance with reason in a state of marital fidelity, a union of nature, society and Dharma. Violent passion shakes you up. You would not be at peace in your own comfortable bed: no sleep. The arrow of love which is devouring ferociously, with that I pierce and dig into your heart.
