Educational Q&A
The verse frames divine epithets as meaningful: God is praised as the sustaining Lord whose cosmic operations—awakening and warming life through principles symbolized by Agni and Soma (and reflected in Sun and Moon)—justify the name ‘Hṛṣīkeśa,’ emphasizing both governance of the cosmos and mastery over the senses.
The speaker announces an etymological exposition of sacred names and instructs the listener (addressed as Pāṇḍunandana) to listen attentively; he then links the world’s enlivening heat and awakening to celestial and sacrificial principles (Sun/Moon; Agni/Soma) and identifies himself as the boon-giving, world-nurturing Lord called Hṛṣīkeśa.
