मूल पाठ सहायकReading aid for the sourceWord by word (पदच्छेद व अन्वय)पदच्छेद
Pippalāda maps the cosmic polarity onto visible symbols: Sun = active, radiant prāṇa; Moon = receptive, reflective rayi. The world is a play of these two — energy and substance, consciousness and matter.
सूर्य ही प्राण है और चन्द्रमा ही रयि है। जो कुछ भी मूर्त (रूपयुक्त) और अमूर्त (रूपरहित) है — सब रयि है। इसलिए मूर्ति ही रयि है।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
The sun is Prāṇa; the moon is Rayi (matter). Rayi is everything — whether with form or without form. Hence form is Rayi.
Direct literal rendering preserving Sanskrit philosophical terminology.

सूर्य ही प्राण है और चन्द्रमा ही रयि है। धीमी और लंबी श्वास वेगस तंत्रिका को सक्रिय कर हृदय की गति और भय-प्रतिक्रिया को शांत करती है। यह पंक्ति उसी श्वास-मन संबंध को कहती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
