Meaning
Measure is the secret of happiness. Reason is the measure of intelligence. Freedom is the condition of truth incarnate. Practical science is the means of strength, prosperity and brightness. Five-fold yoga is the giver of light. Nature is the sustenance of life. Attachment to pleasure is bhoga (sufferance). The light of knowledge is science. The protector of gayatri is its realization. The well-being of body, mind and soul is happiness. The dynamics of existence lies in omnipotence. And these are the themes of Vaidic verses.
