Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 pasulokabhayamkari : Pasus are those devoid of the knowledge of non- duality. The Srutis [br. Up., I. 4. 10] say, "Now one who worships another deity [saying] "the deity is different, and I am different, " he know not, he is like a beast [pasu]." " Fear comes when there is duality" [br. Up, I. 4. 2] "To him, who makes a small hole [difference] next fear comes" {Tai. Up. II. 7. 1]. BhAskararAya's Commentary Translated into English by R. Ananthakrishna Sastry Quote
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Posted September 30, 2005 Pasu-loka-bhayamkarI means 'frightful to the Pasus,' i.e. those bound down by bonds of ignorance etc., and who consequently do not perceived Her identity with every created thing; rather, finding a difference between Her-Self and themselves. DvitIyAdvai Bhayam Bhavati: Duality is Fearful. AnyosA-Vanyoha-masmIti Na Sa Veda YathA Pasuriti: He is a beast (i.e. Pasu), who perceives a difference between himself and the object of his worship.
