Four powers are then named in turn: Indra, called vṛddhaśravāḥ, of far-grown fame; Pūṣan, called viśvavedāḥ, the knower or possessor of all; Tārkṣya, called ariṣṭanemiḥ, whose wheel-rim is unbroken; and Bṛhaspati. Only at the very end does the verb arrive - dadhātu, may he place, set, or bestow - so all four invocations lean forward into one act of granting. The prayer is also plural throughout: naḥ, for us, never for me.\n\nThe epithets are the heart of the verse. Fame that has grown large, knowledge that leaves nothing out, and a rim that never cracks are three ways of saying that what we ask protection from is failure itself. Tārkṣya's ariṣṭanemi image is the plainest: a chariot wheel whose felly does not give way on the road, which is why later tradition came to see in Tārkṣya the great bird Garuda, as the shared English and Hindi meaning does here. Pūṣan, likewise, is the guardian of paths and herds, a solar power, which is why he is often rendered simply as Surya.\n\nWhat makes the mantra endure is that it asks for nothing specific. It does not name an enemy, a wealth, or an outcome. It asks that things go well, and it asks this on behalf of everyone reciting together, which is why the verse has stayed in daily use as a svasti-vācana - the blessing said before any auspicious beginning.",[143,149,155,160,166,171,176,182,187,193],{"word":144,"transliteration":145,"root":146,"meaning":147,"note":148},"स्वस्ति","svasti","सु + अस्ति","well-being, welfare, all that goes well","Indeclinable; it opens each of the four quarters.",{"word":150,"transliteration":151,"root":152,"meaning":153,"note":154},"नः","naḥ","अस्मद्","to us, for us","Appears as na before indraḥ, nas before tārkṣyaḥ, and no before bṛhaspatiḥ.",{"word":156,"transliteration":157,"root":158,"meaning":159},"इन्द्रः","indraḥ","इन्द्र","Indra",{"word":161,"transliteration":162,"root":163,"meaning":164,"note":165},"वृद्धश्रवाः","vṛddhaśravāḥ","वृद्ध + श्रवस्","of far-grown fame, widely renowned","Compound: one whose śravas, fame, has grown.",{"word":167,"transliteration":168,"root":169,"meaning":170},"पूषा","pūṣā","√पुष्","Pushan, the nourisher and guardian of paths",{"word":172,"transliteration":173,"root":174,"meaning":175},"विश्ववेदाः","viśvavedāḥ","विश्व + √विद्","knower and possessor of all",{"word":177,"transliteration":178,"root":179,"meaning":180,"note":181},"तार्क्ष्यः","tārkṣyaḥ","तृक्ष","Tarkshya, the divine steed-bird","The visarga becomes o before ariṣṭanemiḥ: tārkṣyo.",{"word":183,"transliteration":184,"root":185,"meaning":186},"अरिष्टनेमिः","ariṣṭanemiḥ","अरिष्ट + नेमि","whose wheel-rim is unbroken, whose course is unhindered",{"word":188,"transliteration":189,"root":190,"meaning":191,"note":192},"बृहस्पतिः","bṛhaspatiḥ","बृहत् + पति","Brihaspati, lord of sacred speech and wisdom","The visarga becomes r before dadhātu: bṛhaspatir dadhātu.",{"word":194,"transliteration":195,"root":196,"meaning":197,"note":198},"दधातु","dadhātu","√धा","may he place, set, or bestow","The single verb governs all four invocations.",{"title":200,"summary":201,"meaning":202,"source":203,"alsoIn":206,"postText":129,"commentary":216,"wordByWord":217},"स्वस्ति न इन्द्रो -
