Meaning -
Soul, with the aid of ignorance-dispelling forces of God, Attainable through contemplation. Unvanquished by any earthly power, overcomes eight hundred and ten impediments that overshadow knowledge.
Translator Comment -
Eight hundred and ten impediments are enumerated below. Three forces of matter, Satva, (Truth) Rajas (Possession). Tamas (Darkness) become nine, multiplied by three divisions of time, past, present and future. They become twenty seven, multiplied by the three attributes of प्रभाव (Power), उत्साह (perseverance) मन्त्र (Counsel). Multiplied by three stages of उत्तम, मध्यम, अधम i.e. High, Medium and Low, the number becomes 81. Taking into consideration the ten directions, the number becomes 810. This is a plausible explanation offered by Pt. Jaidev Vidyalankar, and Swami Tulsi Ram. Some commentators have translated the word नवतीर्नव as many. Sayana has fabricated a historical story on this verse, which is unacceptable as Vedas are free from historical references, being the word of God in the beginning of creation.^Griffith translates Dadhicha as a Rishi, son of Atharvan, with his bones converted into a thunderbolt. Indra is said to have slain the host of vritras or demons who withhold the rain. Vritras arc impediments of ignorance in the way of knowledge. Dadhicha means God attainable through contemplation.^Griffith’s translation is not plausible.
