Meaning -
I have prayed to the Effulgent, All sustaining God, May the Lord Father accept my prayer. Our digestive faculty digests by means of gastric juice the food put into the stomach. In this universe created by the All-Blissful God, I take that food through the qualities of attraction and retention, of inhalation and exhalation ; and the forces of purification and permeation of the invigorating air, throughout the body. Cooking my food in the burnt fire I eat it with my mouth.
-
अश्विनी has been translated by some commentators as sun and moon, and by others as vedic deities, but Swami Dayananda translates it as Pran and Apan. He considers Ashwin to mean Pran and Apan, i. e. , inhalation and exhalation the breaths we take in and out. Their qualities of attraction and retention are their two arms. Pushan is not a god but invigorating air, whose two hands are its forces of purification and permeation of the food taken.
