[edit] Commentary
- Ela – this word is generally translated as ‘why’; however, to suit the English language, this word has been differently translated as ‘why’, ‘what for’ and ‘where’ depending on situations so that the spirit of the wordings are conveyed.
- 1Azrama – stages in Life in that order - student (brahmacarya), house-holder (gRhastha), anchorite (vAnaprastha), renounced (sannyAsa).
- gAtAgatamu – the cycle of births and deaths.
