We shall discuss the hymns, Sukta wise & Mandala wise. Our focus is on the implicit meaning of the various hymns instead of literal translations of the hymns. These purported meanings are based primarily on the English translations by Swami Dharmanand Saraswati of the works done by Swami Dayanand Saraswati.
Highlights - Sukta 31 prescribes the duties of the king or heads. They should always preserve and guard all lawful people. As a father protects, maintains, educates and gives necessary wealth to his children, in the same manner, a king should protect all his subjects and by proper and just distribution of wealth, according to their actions should reward and punish the people under him. God establishes those persons in Dharma (righteousness) who want to give up un-righteousness and observe the rules of righteousness and protects those who want to wage righteous war and acquire wealth with righteous means. The previous & present birth, the knowledge and the association of Acharya (preceptor) constitute one’s birth. When men sincerely desire to get the true path, then God creates in them love and desire to know the Truth from the association with noble persons. Those people of benevolent nature who being industrious are engaged in making others happy and performing Yajnas, are like the sun which gives happiness to all by its light. The hymn wise, purported explanations – Mandala 1 – Sukta – 31
