Worth noting that the thirty-two here are exactly those spoken of at the twenty-eighth verse: «if there is no firmness, study thirty-two». That is, the third rung of reading is the whole body of the Kṛṣṇa-Yajurveda; and this explains why precisely this number was named. Add the invocation, for it is, I think, the most humane of the five: saha nāv avatu saha nau bhunaktu saha vīryaṃ karavāvahai; tejasvi nāv adhītam astu mā vidviṣāvahai.
Translation: «May he protect us both; may he nourish us both; may we labor together with strength; may what we have learned be radiant; may there be no enmity between us». Worth examining it part by part, for every petition in it is about the two. May he protect both — teacher and disciple.
May he nourish both. May we labor together. And the last: mā vidviṣāvahai, «may we not hate one another».
Worth appreciating that before the beginning of study one asks not for understanding, but for not falling into quarrel. This detail, I think, is the best thing said in all five invocations; and it shows what was reckoned the chief danger of learning: not misunderstanding, but enmity between teacher and taught. The Vaishnava side holds precisely this: vaiṣṇava-aparādha, «offense against a devotee», is counted the gravest of faults — graver than the breaking of a vow.
