The Bestowal of Boons upon Aṅga
नमो हव्यायकव्याय स्वधाकाराय ते नमः । स्वाहाकाराय शुद्धाय ह्यव्यक्ताय महात्मने
namo havyāyakavyāya svadhākārāya te namaḥ | svāhākārāya śuddhāya hyavyaktāya mahātmane
Verehrung Dir, der Opfergabe für die Devas und der Opfergabe für die Ahnen; Verehrung Dir, der du selbst der heilige Ruf „svadhā“ bist. Verehrung Dir, der du der Ruf „svāhā“ bist, dem Reinen—dem Unmanifesten, dem großherzigen Herrn.
Unspecified (hymnic praise within the narrative context)
Concept: The Lord is present in both deva-yajña and pitṛ-yajña, and even in the mantric utterances that carry offerings; He is simultaneously pure and unmanifest beyond ritual forms.
Application: Honor both divine worship and ancestral gratitude without sectarian division; keep speech pure—treat mantra and daily words as offerings that shape inner purity.
