Abhinavagupta

15.12-14 Yad aditya-etc. upto caturvidham. While clarifying the role [of the Lord] as the Creator, Sustainer and Destroyer - a role that has been indicated in the Tenth Chapter - by [the description of Him as identical with] the triple luminories like the sun etc., our venerable preceptor has rightly said : The present passage declares that the power, the pentad of elements has [both] collectively and individually, to sustain the world, is the Absolute power of the Bhagavat Himself. For instance : The sunlight has the power of illumining and sustaining, because the twin elements of the fire and the earth are one [with the Bhagavat]. This has been started by the twin hemistitches '[That light] which is found in the sun etc.' and 'And by penetrating the earth etc.' The moon-light is illumining and nourishing because of its assoication of the elements of the earth, the water and the fire [with the Bhagavat]. That has been stated by the portion '[That light] which is in the moon' and by the hemistitch 'Being the sapful moon I nourish all plants'. The light of fire is, however, of the nature of illumining, parching, burning, sweating and ripening (or cooking). It is so because of the association of the elements, the earth, the water, the fire and the wind [with the Bhagavat]. The same has been said here by the portion, '[That light] which is in the fire' and also by the [entire verse] 'I, being the digestive fire etc.' But the [element] ether is no doubt all pervaisve (inclusive), because it is of the form of room which is nothing but awareness. Therefore, having so far explained the nature [of the Absolute Self] as the object of knowledge, now, with a view to show the Self to be conscious of the freedom that remains as a background (or substratum) of that very nature of object of knowledge; to be of transcending nature; to be the Supreme Lord; to be independent in all knowledges; and to be the Creator of all; [the Lord] says -

Rāmānuja

15.14 Becoming the 'digestive fire', or the fire of digestion, I function within the bodies of all living creatures. In union with various activities of 'inward and outward breaths', I digest the 'four kinds of food' eaten by individuals. These consist of foods to be chewed, sucked, licked and drunk. The Supreme Person who has the Soma, digestive fire etc., as his glory (Vibhuti) is here eated with Him by means of co-ordinate predication in the verses 'Becoming the juicy Soma' and 'Becoming the digestive fire'. He now sets forth the reason for eating these glories with Himself.

Commentary · English

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

According to Āyur-vedic śāstra, we understand that there is a fire in the stomach which digests all food sent there. When the fire is not blazing there is no hunger, and when the fire is in order we become hungry. Sometimes when the fire is not going nicely, treatment is required. In any case, this fire is representative of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Vedic mantras ( Bṛhad-āraṇyaka Upaniṣad 5.9.1) also confirm that the Supreme Lord or Brahman is situated in the form of fire within the stomach and is digesting all kinds of foodstuff ( ayam agnir vaiśvānaro yo ’yam antaḥ puruṣe yenedam annaṁ pacyate ). Therefore since He is helping the digestion of all kinds of foodstuff, the living entity is not independent in the eating process. Unless the Supreme Lord helps him in digesting, there is no possibility of eating. He thus produces and digests foodstuff, and by His grace we are enjoying life. In the Vedānta-sūtra (1.2.27) this is also confirmed. Śabdādibhyo ’ntaḥ pratiṣṭhānāc ca: the Lord is situated within sound and within the body, within the air and even within the stomach as the digestive force. There are four kinds of foodstuff – some are drunk, some are chewed, some are licked up, and some are sucked – and He is the digestive force for all of them.

15.14 अहम् I? वैश्वानरः (the fire) Vaisvanara? भूत्वा having become? प्राणिनाम् of living beings? देहम् the body? आश्रितः abiding? प्राणापानसमायुक्तः associated with Prana and Apana? पचामि (I) digest? अन्नम् food? चतुर्विधम् fourfold.Commentary The immanence of the Lord as the gastric fire in all living beings is described in this verse.Vaisvanara The fire that abides in the stomach. This fire is fanned by the bellows of the incoming and the outgoing breaths continuously and large antities of food are digested. Inside the wonderful laboratory of the stomach I digest the food by taking the form of this gastric fire.Four kinds of food (1) Food which has to be eaten by mastication (Bhakshyam). (2) That which has to be sucked in (Bhojyam). (3) That which has to be licked (Lehyam). (4) That which has to be devoured or swallowed (Choshyam). Another classification is as follows (1) Rice is PrithiviAnnam (solid food) for human beings. (2) Water is Apyannam (watery food) for birds like the Chataka. (3) Fire is Tejasannam (hot food) for certain creatures. (4) Air is Vayvannam (air as food) for serpents.अयमग्निर्वैश्वानरो योऽयमन्तः पुरुषः येनेदमन्नं पच्यते।।This fire which is within man and by which the food is digested is Vaisvanara. (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 5.9.1)He who thinks or meditates and feels that the Vaisvanara fire is the eater? that the food eaten by the fire is the Soma (moon) and that the two together form AgniSoma is not contaminated by the impurities in the food. He who meditates before he takes his food that the whole world which is in the form of eater and eaten is made up of Agni and Soma? is not tainted by the evil arising from eating bad food.Repeat this verse daily before you take your food. You will be free from all taints of impurity in food.

।।15.14।। वैश्वानर वही चैतन्यस्वरूप परमात्मा समस्त जीवित प्राणियों के शरीरों में जीवन की उष्णता के रूप में व्यक्त होता है। इस उष्णता के अभाव में देह मृत हो जाता है। अन्न से जीवन द्रव्य बनाने की प्रक्रिया से शरीर में उष्णता उत्पन्न होती है और शरीर के अन्तरावयव स्वत अपना कार्य करते रहते हैं। जब तक जीवनी शक्ति शरीर में प्रवाहित होती रहती है? तब तक इन शारीरिक प्रक्रियाओं का व्यक्ति को न भान होता है और न उसे उनके लिये कोई सजग प्रयत्न ही करना पड़ता है।प्राणियों के देह में स्थित जठराग्नि भी जो अन्न को पचाती है परमात्मा की ही एक अभिव्यक्ति है? जिसे यहाँ वैश्वानर कहा गया है।मैं चतुर्विध अन्न को पचाता हूँ एक स्वस्थ प्राणी की पाचनशक्ति सभी प्रकार के अन्न को पचा सकती है। यहाँ अन्न का चतुर्विध वर्गीकरण उसके भक्षण के प्रकार पर आधारित है। प्रथम है भक्ष्य? अर्थात् जिसे दांतों से चबाकर खाना पड़ता है? जैसे रोटी आदि (2) भोज्य अथवा पेय जिसे निगला जाता है? जैसे दूध आदि (3) चोष्य जिसे चूसना पड़ता है? जैसे आम? गन्ना आदि और (4) लेह्य जिसे चाटना पड़ता है? जैसे मधु? चटनी आदि। इस चतुर्विध अन्न में समस्त प्रकार के सामिष? निरामिष? पक्व और अपक्व आहारों का समावेश हो जाता है। मुख के द्वारा भक्षण किये गये समस्त प्रकार के अन्न का पाचन तथा शरीर के लिये आवश्यक उसके रूपान्तर का कार्य पाचन क्रिया के द्वारा ही संभव होता है? और इस पाचन क्रिया की यह क्षमता परमात्मा की ही एक अभिव्यक्ति है।प्राण और अपान से युक्त होकर समस्त प्राणियों के शरीरों में होने वाली ग्रहण और विसर्जन की क्रियाओं को क्रमश प्राण और अपान कहा जाता है। तथापि इनका और अधिक व्यापक अर्थ यहाँ स्वीकार किया जा सकता है। चैतन्य आत्मा न केवल वैश्वानर के रूप में ग्रहण किये गये अन्न को पचाता ही है? वरन् वही चैतन्य प्राण के रूप में व्यक्त होकर भक्षण किये हुये अन्न को अन्ननलिका द्वारा पेट तक पहुँचाता है। पाचन के पश्चात् यही आत्मा आंतों को मलविसर्जन की क्षमता प्रदान करता है। सारांशत? परमात्मा ही हमें अन्न के भक्षण? उसके पाचन तथा अनावश्यक मल के विसर्जन के कार्यों में सहायता करता है।और
