Writings on the Veda and philology, and translations of Vedic hymns to gods other than Agni not published during Sri Aurobindo's lifetime. The material includes (1) drafts for 'The Secret of the Veda', (2) translations (simple translations and analytical and discursive ones) of hymns to gods other than Agni, (3) notes on the Veda, (4) essays and notes on philology, and (5) some texts that Sri Aurobindo called 'Writings in Different Languages'. Most of this material was written between 1912 and 1914 and is published here for the first time in a book.

Critical Notes

1 पवस्व । There seems always to be a double sense in the use of पू throughout this book, to flow or pour and to be purified or to purify. “Flow so as to be purified” seems to be the sense, intransitively; “pour it in its purity” the sense of the transitive. Cf v. 6. The Sun’s daughter sends thee flowing (down) pure by her supreme extension; the ten sisters receive thee.”

2 द्रु —perhaps the चमू —the body

सधस्थं. The place of sadhana (self-development & self-perfection); one of the three, mind, vital parts & body, perhaps the physical consciousness. Perhaps the three taken together as one. Cf the epithet.

3 पर्षि Carry over to its goal—cf पार्ये दिवि. The wealth of divine delight is to be brought into the body, the physical consciousness.

4 Having manifested in the body, the Ananda is to bring the consciousness to the divine manifestation.

5 अर्थं—the field of movement—cf [    ]

The object of चरामसि

8 बाकुरं perhaps = of the goat or sheep.

9 श्रिणंति—brighten? enter in? Here we reach the streams of the Infinite Consciousness. अन्ध्या धेनवः ।
