यथापरं परंनाम प्रोक्तं परमभोजनम् । परमः प्रोच्यते चात्मा तस्य तद्भोजनं भवेत्
yathāparaṃ paraṃnāma proktaṃ paramabhojanam | paramaḥ procyate cātmā tasya tadbhojanaṃ bhavet
جس طرح ‘پر’ کو ‘پرم’ (اعلیٰ) نام دیا گیا ہے، اسی طرح ‘پرم بھوجن’ یعنی اعلیٰ غذا بھی بیان کی جاتی ہے۔ آتما کو ‘پرم’ کہا گیا ہے؛ لہٰذا وہ اعلیٰ غذا اسی کی ہے۔
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.
