The third part of the mantra: namaḥ, the bow.
And of it is said what one does not expect: pūrṇānandaika-vigraha — “whose one form is the fullness of bliss”. The word vigraha means “body, figure”.
That is, the bow has a body, and that body is bliss.
Recall how the book interpreted this word before. The second verse of the third Upaniṣad of the pūrva said that “namaḥ” proclaims oneness; the first verse of the fourth — that it means the jīva, that is, the bower himself.
Here is the third interpretation, and it completes: the one who bows, in bowing, finds himself in fullness.
Then it is said who bows: “all the gods and all the seekers of freedom”, and moreover hṛdaye — “in the heart”.
The bow, then, is no bodily motion. It is performed within, and it is performed by those who have nowhere else to turn: the gods, who have everything, and the mumukṣus, who have nothing but the desire for freedom.
The parsing of the mantra is done. The next paragraph will begin the list of what it does.
