Instead of \u2018prapadyed-yata\u1e25<\/em>\u2019. In this case the division of the former compound term would be \u2018prapadya, iyata\u1e25<\/em>\u2019; The interpretation of the Stanza would then stand thus:-<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018By the mere step taken (iyata<\/em>) viz.<\/em>, of having taken Him as Refuge, all those (spiritual) instincts of old will awaken in him. Instincts are impulses which are means dispel all ignorance etc. They are called old<\/em> because they are the instincts of the ancient moksha-seekers, (mumukshus<\/em>) for they of old sought Me alone as their Asylum, and became released from bondage.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 15 Verse 5<\/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 15 << Chapter 15 verses 3 and 3.5 SlOkam \u2013 Original tham Eva chAdhyam purusham prapadhyEdh yatha: pravruththi: prasruthA purANI || word-by-word meaning Adhyam – being the primeval lord for everything yatha: purANI pravruththi: prasruthA – from whom, (the AthmAs’) connection with matters related … 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":[8,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-15","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6118","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=6118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6118\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
