Translation

وایو نے کہا—رِگ وید میں راسخ اہلِ علم یَجْن کے عمل میں رِگ کے منتر وں سے اُس پروردگار کی عظمت کا گیت گاتے ہیں۔ یَجُر وید کے جاننے والے دْوِج یَجُر منتر وں کے ساتھ دَکشناغنی، گارھپتیہ اور آہَوَنیہ—ان تینوں مقدس آگوں کی صورت میں جس مہادیو کو جاننا چاہیے، اُسی کے لیے آہوتی پیش کرتے ہیں۔ پاکیزہ ذہن والے سام وید کے گویّے سامان منتر وں سے اُس کی ستائش کرتے ہیں۔ اتھرو وید کے برہمن رِت اور سَتْیَ کے راستے سے، پرَبْرہمن تک لے جانے والی راہ پر چل کر، اُس کی حمد کرتے ہیں۔ وہی یَجْن کا اعلیٰ ترین سبب ہے؛ اور وہی سب یَجْنوں کا پرم پتی، یعنی مطلق آقا، مانا گیا ہے۔

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

All Vedic paths of worship—hymn (Ṛg), formula (Yajus), chant (Sāman), and Atharvanic praise grounded in Ṛta and Satya—converge on one Supreme Lord, identified here as Mahādeva/Parameśvara, who is the ultimate cause and master of every sacrifice.

What is happening in the narrative?

Vāyudeva is describing how different Vedic specialists honor the same divine reality in the sacrificial setting: offerings are made through the three sacred fires, and each Veda contributes its distinctive mode of praise, culminating in the assertion that the deity addressed is the supreme ruler of all yajñas.
