नमः पुरस्तादथ पृष्ठतस्ते नमोऽस्तु ते सर्वत एव सर्व | अनन्तवीर्यामितविक्रमस्त्वं सर्वं समाप्नोषि ततोऽसि सर्वः
namaḥ purastādatha pṛṣṭhataste namo.astu te sarvata eva sarva . anantavīryāmitavikramastvaṃ sarvaṃ samāpnoṣi tato.asi sarvaḥ
向您前方致敬,也向您后方致敬。万有啊,确实在四面八方都向您致敬!您拥有无限的力量和无限的英勇。您遍布一切;因此您是万有!
Salutation to You in the East and behind. Salutation be to You on all sides in deed, O All! You are possessed of infinite strength and infinite heroism. You pervade everything; hence You are all!
‘我向您前方、后方和四面八方顶礼膜拜’这些词语表明了主的无所不在。无所不在的自性(Self)怎会有前后之分?只有有限的物体才有前后。阿周那(Arjuna)在极度的信仰和虔诚中,想象主有前后之分,并因此顶礼膜拜。‘万有啊’,意指没有您,一切都不存在。由于自性无所不在,祂被称为‘万有’,除自性外别无他物。‘四面八方’,因为您无处不在,或在所有方向。一个人可能强大,但未必有勇气杀死敌人;或者他可能拥有温和的勇气,但主拥有无限的勇气和无限的力量。您以您的唯一自性遍布一切。
The words I prostrate myself before Thee? behind Thee and on every side indicate the allpervading nature of the Lord. How can the allpervading Self have front and back Finite objects only have front and back sides Arjuna imagined that there were front and back sides to the Lord and so prostrated himself in his extreme faith and devotion.O All Nothing exists without Thee. As the Self is allpervading? He is called the All. There is nothing except the Self.On every side? as Thou art present everywhere or in all arters.One may be powerful but may not possess the courage to kill the enemies or he may be endowed with a mild form of courge but the Lord is infinite in courage and infinite in power.Pervadest by Thy One Self.
