Re: Hri of Purisha Suktam (Uttara Nayaranam)

Tatachar • May 2, 1999

Sriman Mani has commented on what Hri may imply.
Most commentaries, I have read, simply translate Hri as
modesty. Sriman D.V. Gundappa (DVG), a great Kannada writer,
philospher and scholar- also translates Hri as modesty
and goes on to comment that it is only most 
appropriate that the embodiments of wealth  (Sree/Lakshmi) and 
modesty (Hri) be found inseperable as consorts of Vishnu.

In the Vedic injunctions, we hears: Sriyaa Deyam, Hriyaa deyam..
(give in plenty,  give with modesty).

On a different note, DVG translates VIRAAT as VARIETY.
Likewise, I feel OM and OMNI may be related.

Sincerely,

Daasan,

Koti Sreekrishna Tatachar
