ਉਤਪਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਕਥਾ

Rigveda 1.164.46 · Rishi Dirghatamas Auchathya · Vedic period (c. 1500 BCE or earlier)

This line closes a verse within the famous riddle-hymn of the Rigveda known as the Asya Vamasya Sukta, ascribed to the blind seer Dirghatamas. The hymn poses profound questions about the cosmos, the sun, time and the divine. In this verse the seer resolves the apparent multiplicity of the Vedic gods by declaring that the one Existent (Ekam Sat) is what the wise address through many names — Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, the celestial Garutman, Yama and Matarishvan.

✦ ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ

Through the ages this single line has been quoted by saints, philosophers and reformers — from the Upanishadic seers to Swami Vivekananda at the Parliament of Religions — as proof that the Vedic vision embraces all forms of the divine. Many devotees say that meditating on it dissolves the inner quarrel between paths and grants a peace born of seeing the one Truth everywhere.

ਅਰਥ:They call Him Indra, Mitra, Varuna and Agni, and also He is the divine, beautiful-winged Garutman (the celestial bird). The Truth is One, but the wise speak of it in many ways; they call it Agni, Yama and Matarishvan. In essence, the one Existent Reality is named variously by the seers according to its different powers and functions — yet that Reality remains forever one.

ਉੱਤਮ ਸਮਾਂAt dawn during meditation, or before study of scripture and inter-faith reflection

Recite the verse slowly with attention to its meaning, holding the contemplation that all the named deities point to one indivisible Reality (Ekam Sat). It is well suited to japa, to the opening of spiritual study, and to interfaith or unity gatherings. Chant with a calm, reverent mind, ideally after a few moments of silence, letting the truth of oneness settle in the heart.

It means 'Truth (or That which Exists) is One; the wise call it by many names.' It teaches that the various gods such as Indra, Agni, Varuna and Yama are different names and powers of one and the same Supreme Reality.

It is the second half of Rigveda 1.164.46, from a long philosophical hymn (the Asya Vamasya Sukta) attributed to the seer Dirghatamas Auchathya. It is among the oldest statements of unity in all of human scripture.

It is frequently cited as the heart of Hinduism's inclusive outlook — that there is one Truth approached through many names, deities and paths. It underlies the harmony between the many forms of worship in Sanatana Dharma and its respect for other traditions.

It reconciles both: the many gods are real powers and aspects, yet they are expressions of a single underlying Reality (Sat). The worship of any form, done sincerely, reaches that one Truth.
