(Meaning): The reference to the
glory of Vasantha ruthu is continued from the previous mantram. Vasanta
ruthu is recognized as the inviting ruthu , which says: " Please protect and
nourish even those additional people who arrived "
(amUgumsccha Parirakshata:). Such welcome words are spoken ( yEtaa vAcha: prayujyantE). When such words are heard
, recognize that as Vasanta rutu as the sign mark of the Kaala kramam (
flow of time). Let us now describe the specialties of the other rutus. May
You all comprehend it !
Greeshma rutu is the one , the Rudra
gaNams wearing white clothing scorch the entire earth (
SuklavAsA: RudragaNa: GreeshmENa saha pruthveem nidhahan AavartathE
).
Greeshma Rutu is made up of the
summer months of Aani and Aadi
.
Mantram 11 on
wards :
Dear Readers: Since you have the AruNam text
now in multiple languages , I will not transcribe
the entire mantram any more and will add only the
Meanings and Comments for each of the remaining
AruNa PraSna
mantrams (~120).
Mantram 11 ( Meaning &
Commentaries )
From " JyOtishAapratikhyEna
to VarshAbhya ityartha: "
That Rudra gaNam ( assembly of the servants
of Rudra) has matchless lustre ( apratikhyEna
jyOtishaa sa: ) .
We have to understand that the multicolored
garments of Varsha rutu as belonging to the AadityAs ( ViSvaroopANi vaasaagumsi AadityAnAm niBhOdhata) ; the
Rudra gaNams in contrast have only white dresses
.
The devatAs of Vasantam are Vasus with red
dresses ; Ghreeshma rutu Devatais are RudrAs with white
dresses; The devathais of the next rutu (Varsha Rutu) , Aadityaas have a multihued "yellow"
( peeta iva) garb .
The Varsha rutu gives the phalan of efforts
like planting seedlings for the entire year (
samvatsareeNam karma phalam VarshAbhi: saha dadhadAtAm)
.
This rutu has the sorrowful eyes although
it has no sorrow to speak off ( adukkhO
dukkhachakshuriva druSyatE ). Those eyes of Varsha rutu reduce the heat
of Greeshma rutu ( asya chakshushee saamyata:
cha) and enhances joy resulting from the abundance of
growth( jwalata cha
yEva).
It is only joy of prosperity that
results from the rain and not sorrow. The pouring rain looks like
tears falling and this makes it look like the effect of suffering /sorrow
.
Those people , who do not work and take
advantage of the Varsha rutu miss out the prosperity during the rest of
the year .Those who actively work in the fields and the like and take
advantage of the Varsha rutu stay established in joy thruout the year due to
the resulting abundance of crops.
During this rutu , there is plenty of
growth in grass for grazing and therefore Varsha rutu permits the deer to
grow well .( These are matters of joy for pastoral
people).
These are the LakshaNams of Varsha rutu
.
The next anuvAkams provide the
lakshaNams of the next three Rutus
( Sarat, Hemanta and SiSira rutus).
