Brahman & Rudra
Kand 11 ek special section hai jo brahman aur rajya ke baare mein baat karta hai. Isme khana, saans, vrat, boli jaise cheezon ko power bataya gaya hai. Prana hymns mein saans ko sabka raja bataya hai jo sab ko jinda rakhta hai. Khana ko isme sirf pet bhharne ka saman nahi, ek power maana hai. Uchhishta matlab jo bacha khatta hai, usme bhi shakti hai jo raksha karti hai. Vrat aur sahi boli se order banta hai aur jeet milti hai. Yeh section simple totke nahi, deep baatein karta hai. Isliye log isko padh kar samajhte hain ki life kaise chalti hai.
