अर्थMeaning
On this there is this Sloka: 'There is a cup having its mouth below and its bottom above. Manifold glory has been placed into it. On its lip sit the seven Rishis, the tongue as the eighth communicates with Brahman.' What is called the cup having its mouth below and its bottom above is this head, for its mouth (the mouth) is below, its bottom (the skull) is above. When it is said that manifold glory has been placed into it, the senses verily are manifold glory, and he therefore means the senses. When he says that the seven Rishis sit on its lip, the Rishis are verily the (active) senses, and he means the senses. And when he says that the tongue as the eighth communicates with Brahman, it is because the tongue, as the eighth, does communicate with Brahman.

व्याख्याVyakhya
इस विषय में यह श्लोक है: 'एक चमस (प्याला) है जिसका मुख नीचे की ओर और तल ऊपर की ओर है; उसमें विश्वरूप यश रखा हुआ है। उसके किनारे सात ऋषि बैठे हैं, और आठवीं वाणी ब्रह्म (वेद) से संवाद करती है।' 'मुख नीचे और तल ऊपर वाला चमस', यह सिर है, क्योंकि यही ऐसा चमस है। 'उसमें विश्वरूप यश रखा है', प्राण ही विश्वरूप यश हैं; यह प्राणों के विषय में कहा गया है। 'उसके किनारे सात ऋषि बैठे हैं', प्राण ही ऋषि हैं; यह प्राणों के विषय में कहा गया है। 'आठवीं वाणी ब्रह्म से संवाद करती है', क्योंकि आठवीं वाणी ब्रह्म से संवाद करती है।
