English TranslationI am the original fragrance of the earth, and I am the heat in fire. I am the life of all that lives, and I am the penances of all ascetics.
English Commentary Puс╣Зya means that which is not decomposed; puс╣Зya is original. Everything in the material world has a certain flavor or fragrance, as the flavor and fragrance in a flower, or in the earth, in water, in fire, in air, etc. The uncontaminated flavor, the original flavor, which permeates everything, is Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa. Similarly, everything has a particular original taste, and this taste can be changed by the mixture of chemicals. So everything original has some smell, some fragrance and some taste. Vibh─Бvasu means fire. Without fire we cannot run factories, we cannot cook, etc., and that fire is Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa. The heat in the fire is Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa. According to Vedic medicine, indigestion is due to a low temperature in the belly. So even for digestion fire is needed. In Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa consciousness we become aware that earth, water, fire, air and every active principle, all chemicals and all material elements are due to Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa. The duration of manтАЩs life is also due to Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa. Therefore by the grace of Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa, man can prolong his life or diminish it. So Kс╣Ыс╣гс╣Зa consciousness is active in every sphere.
