Honorable people! Since the brāhmaṇa, by faith, austerity, proper conduct, silence, and senses control, continually supports the eternal, pure Veda in which this universe is reflected as in a mirror, in order to obtain knowledge of the truth about objects, for my whole life I pray to carry on my crown the dust from the lotus feet of the brāhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas, which quickly destroys sin and awards all good qualities to the bearer.
The brāhmaṇa is not superior to the fire just because he is conscious, but because he has knowledge. The brāhmaṇa supports the Veda (brahma) by faith, austerity, proper conduct (maṅgala), silence and sense control. The definition of maṅgala is given as follows:
praśastācaraṇaṁ nityam apraśastasya varjanam
yat tad dhi maṅgalaṁ proktam ṛṣibhis tattva-darśibhiḥ
The wise sages have said that maṅgala means proper conduct at all times, while being devoid of bad conduct.
Silence means avoiding that talking which is contrary to studying the Vedas. Samādhinā means with “steadiness of mind.” Why? They support the Vedas for knowledge of real things (artha-dṛṣtaye). How do the Vedas do this? In the Vedas (yatra) everything in this world becomes its subject. (The Vedas reveal everything about the world.) The Vedas are like a mirror. O honorable people (āryāḥ)! For my whole life (ā āyuḥ) I shall carry (vaheya) on (adhi) my crown their foot dust. Potential case is used to express a wish. For the person carrying that dust (yam), it destroys sin, and all good qualities come to that person who carries that dust (amum).
