ពេលបានទូលដូច្នេះ ព្រះភគវាន រវិ បានប្រទានសូត្រយជុសដល់គាត់—ដែលល្បីថា ‘អយាតយាម’ ហើយសូម្បីគ្រូ (មុន) របស់គាត់ក៏មិនដឹង។
Sage Parāśara (narrating to Maitreya)
FAQs
This verse highlights a distinguished body of Yajus-mantras called “Ayātayāma,” portrayed as exceptionally authoritative and subtle—so much so that their source is divine (Ravi) rather than merely scholastic transmission.
Parāśara frames Vedic knowledge as something that can be directly bestowed by a cosmic deity (the Sun), implying that sacred authority ultimately flows from the divine order rather than only from a human teacher-student lineage.
Even when the verse names Ravi, the Vishnu Purana’s theology treats such deities as operating within the Supreme’s cosmic governance—affirming that true scriptural potency and order are grounded in the higher sovereignty associated with Vishnu.
