Meaning -
May heaven and earth, both inspiring stimulants of knowledge and awareness, both father and mother, source givers of knowledge, the sun and vital living energy, and the expansive space, all bless me with their gifts of life. May Soma, the moon and the blessed peace of nature, Agni, life energy, omniscient God and the brilliant teacher, Vayu, cosmic wind and pranic energy, Savita, lord creator, and Bhaga, lord giver of the glory of life, protect and promote me and lead me to knowledge and all round awareness in accordance with their nature and potential in response to my receptivity. (This mantra obviously is a prayer for natural and divine protection during this life, but there are certain words which suggest that it is a prayer, for life and efficiency during the next life too. The words are ‘dyau, prthivi’: Prthivi is mother and dyau is father according to Taittiriya Brahmana 2, 7, 16, 3. Another word is ‘Shukra’ which means the seed of life as in Yajurveda 21, 34 and 6, 27, and in Rgveda 3, 6, 3.)
