साधु ' पा ४ ४ ९४. अवनि शिरसा with (my) head resting upon
the surface of the earth. जगता वन्द्याम् deserving to be saluted
by the world. देवी मिव resembling the goddess Ushas (dawn)
तिमिरपि महस् —thus may be taken to refer to the sun who is
spoken of as the lover of the dawn in the Vedas. 'सूर्यो देवीमुषसं
रोचमानां मर्यो न योषामभ्येति पश्चात्' ऋग्वेद I. 115 2. The adjectives
०मङ्गल्यां, ०वन्द्यां and भगवतीम् are applicable to उषस् also. अक्षरं
प्रकाशताम्—may that imperishable light (truth) shine for you
(i. e. on you). This means —may the knowledge of the
supreme Spirit dawn upon you. This blessing from अरुन्धती is
very appropriate. जनक was a ब्रह्मविद्. ब्रह्म is spoken of as अक्षर and
as the light of lights. Note 'द्वे विद्ये वेदितव्ये परा चैवापरा च । अथ

passion, sin. There is another reading परोरजा. This will
mean 'who is beyond sin.' It may also mean 'who is beyond
रजोगुण'. There are three गुणs according to the सांख्य system,
सत्त्व, रजस् and तमस्. 'सत्त्वं लघु प्रकाशकमिष्टमुपष्टम्भकं चलं च रजः।' सांख्य-
कारिका. The sun being a god is सात्त्विक and above रजोगुण. The
compound परोरजा (रजस परः ) is irregular. Vide notes on पर-
सहस्र p. 18. अप्यस्या मातुः Is it all right with this mother of the
protector of the subjects? अनामयम् health, welfare. 'अनामयं स्वादा-
रोग्यम्' इत्यमरः (आमयस्य रोगस्य अभावः अनामयम्) अनामयम्—when
addressing a person of the क्षत्रिय class, the word अनामय was to
be used 'ब्राह्मणं कुशलं पृच्छेत्क्षत्रबन्धुमनामयम्।' मनु० II 127. जनक, being
