Highlights – In Sukta 47, importance of knowledge and role of heads are defined. The heads should destroy misery and increase the prosperity of their juniors. They should construct aeroplanes & other vehicles to travel distant places. In Sukta 48, importance of dawn and women are highlighted. As dawn dispels darkness and brings light and happiness, chaste women bring prosperity and happiness in the family. It is highlighted that the marriage of the bridegrooms should be arranged with the brides of distant places, so that the love between them may ever grow. Those men who sitting in a quiet and pure solitary place, practice nine parts of Yoga including Sanyama, become siddhas, pure in mind word and deed. Those who associate with them and serve them also purify their minds and become seekers after Atma (God and Soul) and Yoga. The hymn wise, purported explanations – Mandala 1 – Sukta – 47

Highlights – None can accomplish good works without the association of the righteous and learned persons. Therefore, all should acquire thorough knowledge of all sciences with their association. Only those persons can enjoy all happiness, who receive education and knowledge from a learned mother, a learned father and a preceptor, who is knower of the Vedas. Men should acquire the knowledge of various sciences by sitting at the feet of a learned person who is like the fire endowed with many attributes. If men get the knowledge of the arts and industries sitting at the feet of great scholars (or scientists) they are able to fly in the air like the birds by constructing aero planes and other suitable vehicles. None can travel by land, sea and firmament comfortably without the vehicles driven by the combination of the fire, water and other suitable articles.

Highlights – God has revealed all sciences through the Vedas. Likewise, learned persons disperse knowledge, justice and give delight. The man of the most charming good temperament and good habits and the sustainer of all. They should also take the help of learned persons and should make proper use of the Pranas and exertion. None can acquire knowledge and wealth (of all kinds) without the Grace of God, the help of the President of the Assembly and his own exertion. Learned persons well-versed in all sciences, should always do a noble meritorious act. Such learned person is like fire in assemblies and on the occasion of the fulfilment of noble desires; who is also like the fire among the non-violent Yajnas from Agnihotra to Ashwa Medha or consisting of Yoga, Shilpa (Industries) Upasana (communion with God) and knowledge, bearing the glory of the Yajnas of inviolable various kinds and fire-bannered spreader of the light. Men should honour such learned guests as are righteous, respected by all learned persons, of cheerful disposition and benevolent. A learned person should not waste even a single moment. He should know all days to be full of the noblest deeds. Knowing the days as such, he should be the protector of the people and performer of the Yajnas (non-violent noble sacrifices). It is not possible to perform a Yajna (non-violent sacrifice and philanthropic work) without the help of a learned person and suitable articles. Three things are derived from root word Yajna - honouring the learned, association with the enlightened people and charity. The hymn wise, purported explanations – Mandala 1 – Sukta – 43
