THE COLLOQUY OF INDRA AND AGASTYA - III
ऋग्वेद 1.170
3. किं नो भरातरगस्त्य सखा सन्नति मन्यसे |
विद्मा हि तेयथा मनो.अस्मभ्यमिन न दित्ससि ||
why o broher agatya? are you my friend, yet set your thought beyond me? for well do i know how to us you will not to give your mind.
4. अरं कर्ण्वन्तु वेदिं समग्निमिन्धतां पुरः |
तत्राम्र्तस्य चेतनं यज्ञं ते तनवावहै ||
let them make ready the altar, let them set agni in blaze in front. it is there the awakening of consciousness to immortality. let us two expand for you, your effective sacrifice.
interpretation : indra replies that agastya is his friend and brother, brother in the soul as children of one supreme being, friend as comrades in a common effort; but now he treats indra as inferior power and wishes to go beyond without fulfilling himself in domain of god. he seeks to divert his increased thought power towards his own object instead of delivering them up to universal intelligence. indra says, let the egoistic endeavour cease, the great sacrifice be resumed, the flame of divine force agni, be kindled in front as head of sacrifice and leader of march. indra and agastya together, the universal power and huamn soul, will extend in harmony the effective inner action on the plane of pure intelligence, so that it may enrich itself there and attain beyond.
