Subject - Surya’s Wedding
Meaning -
O Agni, spirit of light and life, the divinities first conducted Surya, the bride, with her bridal wealth to you. May you now give her with her maturity and motherly potential as wife to the bridegroom and his family who will honour, protect and maintain her. (Refer also to Rgveda 10, 85, 40) (When a girl child is born, the parents think of her upbringing, education and preparation for her settlement under the divine care of Agni, divine spirit of life and light. When she is mature with full health, education and bridal accomplishments, she is married and given over to the bridegroom and his family. The word ‘pad’ means husband but it also means one who cares for her and maintains and protects her. And when she comes to the family of the bridegroom she becomes the responsibility of the entire family. Hence ‘patibhyah’ here means the bridegroom and other members of the family who will care, maintain and protect her and help her grow further as mother head of the family.)
