In this the fifty third mantra, the sage elaborates on the fact that the vedas contain mantras and formulations which are capable of producing jnyana (knowledge/wisdom) and infinite other kamya (desired) results depending on the state of maturity of the seeker. That is to say that everything there is to be known or experienced can be known or experienced through the path of the Vedas.
இருக்குஉரு வாம்எழில் வேதத்தின் உள்ளே
உருக்குஉணர் வாயுணர் வேதத்துள் ஓங்கி
வெருக்குஉரு வாகிய வேதியர் சொல்லும்
கருக்குஉரு வாய்நின்ற கண்ணனும் ஆமே. 53. 3.
Moving Mood
In the beauteous Veda, aptly named the Rig,
As the moving mood behind, He stood;
In the trembling chant of the Vedic priests He stood,
Himself the Eye of vision Central. 53. 3.
Com – In the beauteous Veda, aptly named the Rig In the Vedas that are so beautifully ornamented by the many mantras (chants) that are contained in them, As the moving mood behind, He stood the Lord is felt as the intense emotion that is capable of melting the heart of the listener. In the trembling chant of the Vedic priests He stood He is also felt as majestic and terrible sound, capable of inducing incredible fear in the heart of the listener. Himself the Eye of vision Central He, the three eyed (Siva) is present as the central causative factor in all the Vedic mantras.
* The above mantra describes that the Vedas possess many mantras that are capable of bestowing much good fortune and other great benefits. And the Vedas also possess many mantras that are terrible in nature and which are capable of destroying others and producing many other evil calamities. That is to say, the Vedas have the necessary mantras for Jnyana yoga (path of knowledge) and they also have the mantras that are of use to the one desiring of (good or bad) ends. Yet, it is the same Siva, who bestows the fruit to the both – the Jnyani’s who chant the Vedic mantras without expecting any particular fruit and the Grihasta (householder) who chants the Vedic mantras expecting certain definite fruits.
