The Daughter of Heaven

 

The northern rays of the sun are the northern honey-cells. The verses of the Atharvangirasa are the bees. The Itihasa-purana is the flower. The water is the nectar. Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad III, IV - The Honey-Doctrine (Atharva-Veda), 1 One she leads on to power, another to glory; another she leads on to pursuit of gain; yet others she directs to varied callings, raising to consciousness all living creatures. Rig Veda I, 113, 6 The Daughter of Heaven now appears before us, a fair young woman clothed in shining garments. Auspicious Dawn, mistress of earthly treasure, shine upon us today in queenly splendor. Rig Veda I, 113, 7
