>So Jupiter is the reflection of His riches (in the broad sense), aisvarya,

>Mars is the reflection of His strengh, or virya, the Sun and the Moon are

>the reflections of His fame (yasah), Venus is the reflection of His beauty

>(sri), Mercury is the reflection of His knowledge (jnana) and Saturn is the

>reflection of His renounciation (vairajna).

 

Sorry, I do not see in the above Sanskrit verse (VP 6.5.47) any

reference to Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Saturn.

Were they mentioned in a previous verse? Or is this some sort of a

jyotisa interpretation of the VP verse?

 

Also, where is the word *virajna* derived from?

I had thought the word for renunciation was *vairaagya* which is

derived from *vi-raaga* plus the suffix *-ya*
