Brahman as stated in the text, 'He, who meditates upon Him, Immeasurable, the leader of all men (Vais'vanara), as con- nected with these places, eats (enjoys) the food (namely the Brahman) in all the worlds, etc.' (Chand. V -18-1). Here is mentioned the meditation on Him with the aggregate form with the limbs, such as head etc. Suppose there is the meditation on Him with each of the limbs separately. Then there will be only the limited enjoyment. Therefore in order to have unlimited enjoyment, He should be meditated up on in the aggregate form, because this course only is reasonable and the enjoyment on the Brahman has been declared in that case only. But the statement of the fruit on the meditation on tbe limbs separately, is as in the case of the performance of the sacrifices as stated in the text-' When a son is born, one should offer on twelve potsherds to Vais'vanara', and again a separate fruit is stated thus 'There is an offering on eight potsherds,' (Tait. Sam. 11-2-5). The scriptural text points out the greatness of the meditation on the aggregate form of the Brahman. The meditation on the limbs has been mentioned in the text, Oh ! King ! the possessor of the auspicious qualities (the Bhagavan) , I meditate upon Him as heavens' (Chand.
