Chapter 10
aktaragamakaro'smi dvandvah samasikasya ca
ahamevaksayah kalo dhataham visvatomukhah
Of letters, I am 'A.; of word-compounds I am the dual (Dvandva) the copulative. I am verily the endless Time; I am the sustainer of all, having My face, on all sides. 33
Comment:-
Aksaratlamakaro'smi:- 'A' is the first letter of alphabet. It occupies an important place in both vowels and consonants. The consonants cannot be pronounced, without this letter. So it is Lord's glory.
Dvandvah samasikasya ca:- Out of the four important word-compounds, while both the words in compounding themselves retain equal importance, they are called the dual or 'dvandva'. In it because, each word maintains its individuality, the Lord has named it as His divine glory.
Ahamevaksayah kalah:- Time in itself, is beginningless and endless, and is called the Lord. In final dissolution, when even the sun merges into the Lord, time is counted or measured through the Lord (paramatrna).[1] So the Lord is eternal time.
Time passes every moment. But here the Lord, Who is endless time, remains the same without any modification and change. The same endless Time, is a Lord's divine glory. In the eleventh chapter, the Lord has said that He is the mighty world-destroying, Time (Oita 11/32).
Dhataham visvatomukhah:- Having His face on all sides, the Lord sees all the creatures. So He sustains all of them, very generously. Thus He has described Himself, in the form of His divine glory.
