Here is a passage for whose sake this book is worth reading slowly, for in it the four great sayings are directly equated with the mantras of Hayagrīva. The mahā-vākyas were discussed in detail reading the Mahāvākya Upaniṣad, and there is no need to repeat their analysis; let us repeat only that there are four of them — one for each Veda. Note that here their meaning is called the same as the meaning of mantras addressed to a person with a name and a form.
This detail is, to my mind, the strongest argument the Vaiṣṇava side has among all we have met in this collection, and it is worth stating in full. The great sayings are usually cited as proof that the Highest is impersonal: “I am brahman,” “that thou art” — and no person in sight. Here they are cited by a book that has a person, named by name and described with a conch, a discus, and a book in hand.
And it says: this is one and the same thing. So either it is mistaken, or the great sayings do not, by themselves, prove impersonality — but receive their content from the context in which they stand. The Vaiṣṇava side holds the second, and its analysis was cited reading the Mahāvākya and Gaṇapati (1.1): every one of the four sayings stands within a story, each has a speaker and a listener, and each has a continuation.
Add, too, what it draws directly from the passage here: if the mantra of Hayagrīva sets forth the meaning of the sayings, then their meaning is a relationship, not an identity; for this mantra is an address, and can be nothing else. And add one more thing: the first of the four is given here in a rare fullness — prajñānam ānandaṃ brahma, “understanding is bliss, brahman”; in the Aitareya it stands simply as prajñānam brahma, and the addition “bliss” is already a positive determination.
