8. I am the sapidity in waters, O son of Kunti. I am the radiance in the moon and the sun, the Prarjava in all the Vedas, sound in the ether, and man-hood in mankind. I am the sapidity in wafers:-that which is the essence in waters is sapidity; in Me, who am that sapidity, waters are woven. Similarly in all cases. Just as I am the sapidity in waters, so I am the radiance in the moon and the sun; the Pranava, the syllable On,, in all the Vedas; in Me who am that Praijava are all the Vedas woven. So also, I am sound in the ether, the "ākāśa"; sound is its (ether's) essence, and in Me who am that (essence) is ether woven. And similarly, I am man-hood in mankind:-That inherent property in man which produces the idea that he is a human being is 'man-hood'; in Me who am that are human beings woven. |
