Again the attributes of God and fire are taught in the seventh Mantra.
अन्वय: (1) The priests desirous of wealth (spiritual) with hymns of praise and Soma pressing stones in their hands worship in non-violent sacrifices God Who is the Giver of wealth
and strength. They enjoy bliss by worshipping Him.
(2) Persons desirous of acquiring wealth (material) with instruments of arts and crafts in their hands search after and yoke fire in sacrifices and practical works. They enjoy happiness by utilizing it properly.
पदार्थान्वयभाषाः - (द्रविणोदः) द्रविणांसि विद्याबलराज्यधनानि ददातीति सः परमेश्वरो भौतिको वा । द्रविणमिति बलनामसु पठितम् ( निघ० २.९) द्रविणोदा इति पदनामसु पठितम् (निघ० ५.२) द्रविणं करोति द्रविणाति अस्मात् सर्व" धातुभ्योऽसुन् इत्यसुन्प्रत्ययः तददातीति निरुक्त्या पदनामसु पठितताद् ज्ञानस्वरूपत्वादीश्वरो ज्ञानक्रियाहेतुत्वादग्न्यादयो गृह्णन्ते ।।
By द्रविणोडा (Dravinoda) is primarily meant God Who is Giver of all wealth (wisdom, strength, kingdom etc.) Secondarily by Dravinoda are meant Agni (Fire) and other articles which are means of various applications of scientific knowledge. (द्रविणानि) द्रूयन्ते प्राप्यन्ते यानि तानि द्रविणानि ।
= Wealth of all kinds (spiritual and secular) that is obtained by people.
(ग्रावहस्तासः) ग्रावां स्तुतिसमूहे ग्रहणं हननं वा ग्रावाण: पाषाणादयो यज्ञशिल्पविद्यासिद्धिहेतवो हस्तेषु येषां ते । ग्रावाणो हन्ते र्वा गृणातेर्वा गृहणातेर्वा (निरुक्ते० ९-८) = Praisers of God, those with pressing stones etc. in their hands for the Yajna or artistic works.
(यज्ञेषु) अग्निहोत्राद्यश्वमेधान्तेषु शिल्पविद्यामयेषु ना = Various non-violent sacrifices or acts of arts and Then the commentator has given extensive quotations from the Nirukta 8.1-2 to show what is meant by Dravinoda and what are the views of some ancient Acharyas. Some take the word for Indra and others for Agni (fire). Rishi Dayananda after giving these quotations says that the word should be interpreted according to the context. In this Mantra he takes it for (1) God and (2) for fire as has been given above in English translation.
भावार्थभाषाः - There is Shleshalankar or double entendre in this Mantra. All men should worship God in all Yajnas of knowledge, action and contemplation. In homa (sacrifice ) and artistic works, fire should be properly used.
