Note
Vasu, riches, wealth, property. Bright and radiant is also vasu. In legend, vasus are a particular class of gods, usually eight in number, chief of whom is Indra. The sacrifice is also mentioned as vasu, 'यज्ञो वे वसुः' इति श्रुतेः(Satapatha, 1. 7. 1. 9). Dyauh, the sky or heaven. Shining outer space is meant by this term. It is above the midspace (अन्तरिक्ष), which is above the earth (पृथ्वि). In the Veda, sometimes dyauh is mentioned alone, but frequently it comes jointly with prthivi, the earth. The dyauh is considered as father and the prthivi as mother. The former is great and brilliant and the later vast and firm. Prthivi, the earth. From पृथु, to extend. As it extends far and wide, so it is called prthivi or prthvi. Matarisvan, the wind. मातरि अन्तरिक्षे श्वसिति; as it breathes in the midspace, so the wind is called matarisvan. Gharma, warmth, heat, धर्मः अग्नितापयुक्तः शोधकः, purifier with the heat of the fire. - Daya. Gharma is a synonym of yajna also. Pavitram, purifier; a strainer is also called pavitram as it purifies the liquid (milk or soma). Visvadha, sustainer of the world. The word visva means ‘the world’ and also ‘all’. So this word may have two meanings, the sense more or less being the same. Paramena dhamna, supreme abode. Parama the highest. Dhama is abode. धामानि त्रीणि भवन्ति स्थानानि नामानि जन्मानीति च, i. e. dhama has three meanings, an abode, a name, and а life. Drmhasva, remain firm. Hvah, forsake. (Dayananda. ) Yajnapatih, Lord of the sacrifice, i. e. the person performing the sacrifice. Same as yajamana. God also may be called yajnapati, because He is the Lord of the sacrifice.
