Meaning -
O Speech, thou art thought, mind, intelligence, giver of knowledge and victory ; thou art power, worthy of worship, immortal, and double-headed. May thou give us comfort in the past and future. May breath, the strength giving friend of time advance thee in knowledge, and guard thy pathways for God, whose eye is over all.
-
Speech has been spoken of as double headed, as its one part gives us the knowledge of external objects, and the other part of internal ones; or speech makes us cognisant of internal pain and pleasure and external occurrences ; or the external organs like eyes etc. represent its one face, and the internal organ, the mind, the other. सुप्राची and सुप्रतीची may also mean that speech helps us in mastering the external problems that come before us, and solving the subtle questionings of the soul. Mitra may also mean the soul, which binds the speech to God, (पदि) as it is through the persuasion of our soul, that we sing the glory and praises of God. अध्वन: means the path of knowledge and yoga which leads us to God. There is another interpretation as well of this mantra, with lightning विद्युत् instead of speech वाणी as its devata.
