eva  =  definitely;

ahuh  =  ( they )  say;

sambhavat  =  from  the  Manifest;

anyat  =  different;

ahuh  =  ( they )  say;

susruma  =  ( we )  have  heard;

dhiranam  =  of  the  wise;

(13) " One  thing  they  say,  is  verily  obtained  from  the  worship  of  the  Manifest.  Another  thing,  they  say,  from  the  worship  of  the  Unmanifest;  thus   have   we  heard  from  the  wise  who  have  explained  that  to  us."



Discussion : - Just  as  in  the  second  mantram  of  the  earlier  triplet  ( Mantra-s 9, 10, 11.),  here  also  the  Rishi  is  trying  to  explain  to  us  that  what  we  generally  understand  by  the  terms  'Manifest' and  'Unmanifest'  are  not  exactly what  they  connote  in  the  technique  of  Self-perfection,  but  that  they  have  some  special  significance.


This  new  orientation  of  the  idea  is  again  vouch-safed  here  as  not  merely  a  whiff  of  the  Rishi's  own  personal  opinion,  but  that  it  has  the  sanction  of  the  entire  hierachy  of  the  experienced  Rishis ( Great  MASTERS )  and  their  worthy  disciples.
