taken as a pupil of Sacred Knowledge. As a part of
imparting sacred knowledge, Jabala was to tend weak

Atmosphere, Sky, and Ocean.

his rescue and taught him, Life, Joy and Ether are
Brahman.

if he knows Brahman. Teacher: Who taught you all
these?

the US; the chestis the sacrificial area; the hair is the
sacred grass; the heart is the Garhapatya fire; the mind is
anvaharya-pancana fire; the mouth is Ahavaniya fire.

heart.
