Meaning -
Here upfront comes Aryama, this adorable sun, person, the friend, desirous of getting a husband for this virgin, and a wife for this bachelor. (‘Aryama’ in this mantra is an interesting word, interpreted as sun, a friend or any person such as the bridegroom’s or the bride’s friend, conducting the bridegroom to the bride or the bride to the bridegroom. If we insist that Aryama is the sun, then sun is the vital giver of life energy which has led the bridegroom to maturity of virility, and the girl to maturity of puberty. If we interpret ‘Aryama’ as the ‘seeker and conductor’ of the bride or the bride groom, we would of appreciate the tradition, celebrated in secular literature, of the ‘messenger-conductor’ between the lover and the beloved. In choice-cum-arranged marriages, Aryama could be a parent, a teacher, a friend or any other person, a friend-cum-advisor, a confidant too.)
