This is that honey which Dadhyañc Ātharvaṇa told to the Aśvins. Seeing this, the ṛṣi said: "To every form he became the corresponding form — that his form might be revealed. Indra by his māyās moves about manifold: yoked indeed are his horses, a hundred and ten." He is the horses; he is the tens, the thousands, the many, the infinite. This Brahman is without anything before or after, without inside or outside; this ātman is Brahman, the all-perceiving. Such is the instruction.

The final honey verse (RV 6.47.18, word for word) is about the manifoldness of the One: rūpaṁ rūpaṁ pratirūpo babhūva — "to every form he became the corresponding form", and the purpose is named: tad asya rūpaṁ praticakṣaṇāya — "that his form might be revealed"! The forms of the world are not veils but mirrors: He multiplies himself in order to be seen. "Indra by his māyās moves about manifold": māyā here is no deception but a sovereign power of transformation; his horses are "a hundred and ten", and the Upaniṣad at once turns it round: "he is the horses" — himself the driver, the harness, the endless powers.
Gauḍīya Vedānta treasures this verse as the Vedic root of the teaching on the Lord's eternal forms: the One takes a "corresponding form" to meet each one — not out of need but for the sake of praticakṣaṇa, mutual beholding; the māyā-śakti serves love by multiplying the faces of the Beloved. And the close of the vidyā sets the last seal: ayam ātmā brahma sarvānubhūḥ — "this ātman is Brahman, the all-perceiving": not an insensible absolute but the All-holder and All-feeler, who undergoes every experience of every heart. Such is the anuśāsanam, the instruction; the Veda knows none sweeter.
