Meaning -
This yajna has got four horns, three feet, two heads, and seven hands. This mighty, attainable yajna, the giver of happiness, bound with a triple bond, roars loudly and enters into mortals.
-
Four horns : The four vedas. Three feet : Morning, noon, and evening. Two heads : The rising and setting times of the sun. Seven hands : The seven metres of the veda like Gayatri etc. Triple bond : The Mantra, Kalpa and Brahmana, prayer, ceremonial, and rationale of the veda, or the three regions, Heaven, Firmament, and Earth. Loud roaring is the sound of the recitation of the vedic verses. Different explanations have been given by Mahidhar for these words. Patanjali in his immortal work the Mahabhashya explains these words differently. The verse can be applied to grammar ( शव्दशास्त्र) Four horns are नाम (Noun), आरुयात (verb), उपसर्ग (a preposition prefixed to roots) and निपात (Indeclinable). Three feet : Past, present, and future. Two heads . Nitya and कार्य (Effect). Seven hands : Seven cases. Triple bonds : Heart, Throat and Head.
