Bhagavad Gita 11.39
वायुर्यमोऽग्निर्वरुणः शशाङ्कः प्रजापतिस्त्वं प्रपितामहश्च। नमो नमस्तेऽस्तु सहस्रकृत्वः पुनश्च भूयोऽपि नमो नमस्ते॥
vāyur yamo ’gnir varuṇaḥ śhaśhāṅkaḥ prajāpatis tvaṁ prapitāmahaśh cha namo namas te ’stu sahasra-kṛitvaḥ punaśh cha bhūyo ’pi namo namas te
Translation
Thou art Vâyu and Yama, Agni, moon, Varuna, Father, Grandsire of all; Hail, hail to Thee! a thousand times all hail! Hail unto Thee! again, again all hail!
What it means
You are wind and death and fire and moon and the lord of waters, the first father and the grandsire: hail, hail to You a thousand times, and again, yet again, hail. Enumeration becomes incantation. Language gives up analysis and takes up repetition.
Try this today
The powers named and saluted repeatedly - language exhausting itself in greeting.
Something to reflect on
When does my language give up analysis and become repetition - grief, joy, prayer?
