यथापरं परंनाम प्रोक्तं परमभोजनम् । परमः प्रोच्यते चात्मा तस्य तद्भोजनं भवेत्
yathāparaṃ paraṃnāma proktaṃ paramabhojanam | paramaḥ procyate cātmā tasya tadbhojanaṃ bhavet
ଯେପରି ‘ପର’ ନାମ ‘ପରମ’ ବୋଲି କୁହାଯାଏ, ସେପରି ‘ପରମ ଭୋଜନ’ ମଧ୍ୟ କଥିତ। ଆତ୍ମା ‘ପରମ’ ବୋଲି ପ୍ରୋଚ୍ୟ; ତେଣୁ ସେହି ପରମ ଭୋଜନ ତାହାର ହୁଏ।
Kamaṭha
Scene: A symbolic ascent: below, ordinary food and senses; above, a radiant Ātman-flame receiving ‘supreme food’ as sound-scripture streams entering the heart-lotus.
True fulfillment is not only bodily; the highest nourishment is that which feeds the Self—wisdom and dharma that lead toward liberation.
No tīrtha is named; the verse is an inward, philosophical elevation of the theme.
No external ritual is prescribed; it defines ‘supreme food’ as that which pertains to the Ātman.
