यजुर्वेदशाखाः, याज्ञवल्क्य–वैशम्पायनसंवादः, सूर्यस्तुतिः
Yajurveda branches and Yājñavalkya’s solar revelation
स्पृष्टो यदंशुभिर् लोकः क्रियायोग्यो ऽभिजायते पवित्रताकारणाय तस्मै शुद्धात्मने नमः
spṛṣṭo yadaṃśubhir lokaḥ kriyāyogyo 'bhijāyate pavitratākāraṇāya tasmai śuddhātmane namaḥ
ਜਦੋਂ ਲੋਕ ਉਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਕਿਰਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਛੁਹਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਦ ਉਹ ਧਾਰਮਿਕ ਕਰਮ ਲਈ ਯੋਗ ਬਣਦਾ ਹੈ। ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰਤਾ ਦੇ ਕਾਰਨ ਉਸ ਸ਼ੁੱਧ-ਆਤਮਾ ਨੂੰ ਨਮਸਕਾਰ।
Sage Parāśara (teaching Maitreya; voiced as a reverential statement within the cosmological exposition)
This verse frames purity not as merely external cleanliness but as a cosmic condition bestowed by the Divine—when the world is pervaded by His “rays,” it becomes qualified for dharma and sacred action.
Parāśara links cosmic order to spiritual eligibility: divine pervasion (symbolized by rays/light) enables beings and the world to participate rightly in duty, worship, and prescribed observances.
Vishnu is presented as the śuddhātmā—the Pure Self—and the ultimate cause behind purification; even natural agencies like sunlight point back to His sovereign, sustaining presence.
