Kapyasam

"tasya yatha kapyasam pundarikamevamaksini"(Chandogya 1.6.7)

Guru / Interpretation

  1. The standard Advaitin translations for the verse by Shankara is "The two eyes of that golden Purusha are like two lotuses which are red like the bottom of a monkey" 
  2. The Vishsitadvaitin commentary given by Ramanuja is "The eyes of the golden Purusha are as lovely as the lotuses blossomed by the rays of the Sun."

  2. Ramanuja's uses kapinA(by the sun) AsaH(blossom) = kapyAsaM (blossomed by the sun)
