SUTRA III. 3. 63.

अङ्गेषु यथाश्रयभावः॥३.३.६३॥

aṅgeṣu yathāśrayabhāvaḥ ..3.3.63..

… Angeshu, in the limbs of the Lord. .. Yathashraya, according to the fitness of the place, or the limb. … Bhavah, the assuming of the mood, the meditation on the aspects.

63. Meditation appropriate to each member of the body should also be performed. — 424.

COMMENTARY

In the various members such as the mouth, the eyes, etc., the qualities and gestures appropriate to them, must be thought of or meditated upon. The particular member, described as having a particular quality, must always be meditated upon with that quality. In forming the mental image of the Lord, the face must be thought of as smiling and speaking sweet words; the eyes as having a compassionate and benevolent gaze, and so on.

SUTRA III. 3. 64.

शिष्टेश्च॥३.३.६४॥

śiṣṭeśca ..3.3.64..

… Shishtaih, by those who are taught. Cha, and.

64. And because Brahma taught such meditation to His disciples in the Gopala Tapani Upanishad. — 425.

COMMENTARY

At the end of His verses of praise in the Gopala Purva Tapani, Brahma says, «With these verses I praise and worship the Lord»:

I propitiate even now Krishna, with these verses. You also follow my advice, and as I always recite the five-worded Mantra, so you also reciting that five-worded Mantra and meditating on Shri Krishna, will verily cross over this ocean of worldly existence, the cycle of births and deaths.

Thus said Brahma to the sages.

Thus Brahma Himself teaches the sages to meditate on the attributes of the various members of the Lord’s body. Therefore, the personal charms of the Lord must also be meditated upon.

Objection: In the Chhandogya Upanishad, I., 6. 7., only the compassionate gate of the Lord is described, no other members are specified therein:

His two eyes are like fresh lotus. His (mystic) name is Ut ‘…’ for he has risen (Udita) above all sins. He also, who knows this, rises verily above all sins.

This description of the Chhandogya Upanishad is defective, because it mentions only the eyes of the Lord, and is silent upon other parts. The objection so raised is answered in the next Sutra.
