Mantram- 4. { Cosmic form of 'Brahmam' - the 'Indweller' of all living beings }
Discussion - 4. "description of the Infinite in terms of the finite ........."
In Vedantham, in its own technical language, it says that the eye is presided over by the deity, the Quarters.
It is such statements that upset the Western reader and their Eastern products viz. ourselves.
When Vedantha-Sastram says that the eye is blessed by the grace of Sun, it only means that in a medium of light alone can the eyes function; so too, only in a medium of space can the sound travel and only where sounds are, can the ears function.
The entire mantram is thus the description of the Infinite in terms of the finite.
Next : Mantram-5.
