Chapter 8<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 8 verses 23<\/a><\/p>\n agnir jyOthir aha: Sukla: shaNmAsA uththarAyaNam |<\/em> agnirjyOthi: – archis (ray of light) Those who worship with brahmam as goal and pursue these path of archis, ahas, Sukla paksha and uththarAyaNam, attain brahmam.<\/p>\n ‘Fire, light, day-time, the bright fortnight, the six months of the north (solstitial) declination, then, going forth, the Brahma-knowing men go to Brahm.[1. This is called the Archir-\u0101di M\u0101rga<\/em> or Deva-y\u0101na<\/em>.]’<\/span><\/p>\n Time in this verse implies the Path where the Presiding Intelligences or deities who preside over time-divisions, from the day up to the year, dwell in great numbers. The Path or the Road is either that, going by which, yogis do not return, or that, going by which, men of good deeds return. That road, I shall describe. The mention of fire, light, day, bright fortnight, and the six months constituting the Northern journey (of the sun), implies the year also.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 8 verse 25<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 8 << Chapter 8 verses 23 SlOkam \u2013 Original agnir jyOthir aha: Sukla: shaNmAsA uththarAyaNam | thathra prayAthA gachchanthi brahma brahmavidhO janA: || word-by-word meaning agnirjyOthi: – archis (ray of light) aha: – ahas (day) Sukla: – Sukla paksha (bright fortnight which starts after … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-8","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3641\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
