Translation -
The purifying divine speech, pleasing to all the learned ones, has come to us. Many attractive forms are therein. Being delighted with her in the sacrificial banquets, may we become masters of riches. (1)
Notes -
According to the commentators, this verse is a prahvalikā, an enigma, in which it is not clear to whom it is ad dressed. They have speculated that it might have been addressed to Surā kumbhī, a wine-jar, and Punati devi is the cleanser of wine; or, it may be Sautrāmanī speech or Ukhā, the fire-hearth. We have interpreted it in the context of Sarasvati, the Divine Speech. Tanvah, शरीरा:, bodies; forms. Punati, पाaवनंi कुर्,वाणा, purifying; cleansing. Sadhamādesu, सह मदन्ति यत्र, तेषु यज्ञस्थानेषु, where people get together and rejoice; places of sacrifice; Or, any other festive gathering.
