FAQs
This verse states that when the Sun-god (Ravi), appearing in a horse form, was pleased by praise, he granted the sage the Yajur-mantras in their original, uncorrupted form—showing that sacred knowledge is preserved and restored by divine grace.
Because the sage properly glorified him; being satisfied (prasāditaḥ), Ravi bestowed the Yajur-mantras, emphasizing that sincere praise and devotion can invoke divine favor and the transmission of sacred knowledge.
Approach learning—especially spiritual learning—with humility, reverence, and sincerity; the verse teaches that purity of intention and heartfelt glorification invite clarity, guidance, and the “restoration” of wisdom in one’s life.
