Mandukya Upanishad :
Chapter-1. Agama Prakarana ( The Scriptural Treatise )
Sri Gaudapada's glossary :
Upanishad Mantra-s - 8 to 11.
Karika Slokam-s 19 to 23.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Karika Slokam - 20 :
"Taijasa-syotva vijnana utkarso drsyate sphutam,
matra-samprati-pattau syadu-bhayatvam tatha-vidham."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation :
taijasasya = of taijasa;
utva vijnane = identified with 'U';
utkarsah = (their) superiority;
drsyate = is seen;
sphutam = clearly;
matra = letters;
samprati-pattau = relating to;
syat = is;
ubhayatvam = (thair) middleness;
tatha vidham = so also.
---------------------------------------------------
Tattvam (Essence) :
It is clearly seen that Taijasa is of the same nature as 'U' in Aum, the common featurebeing 'Superiority'. Another reason for fixing such an identity is 'being in the middle.'
------------------------------------------------------
End.
Next - Karika Slokam-21.
