टिप्पणी: विद्वांसो हि देवाः ॥ (शत० ३.७.३.१०) देव्यः = Learned ladies. शर्म इति सुखनाम निघ० ३.४) शर्मेति गृहनाम (निघ०) So it has been translated by Rishi Dayananda as गृह सम्बन्धि सुखेन or with domestic happiness. Sayanacharya has taken the word शर्मणा only in the sense of सुखेन which Wilson has translated as "with felitiy." Griffith has rendered it into English as "with aid." Instead of taking devis as learned ladies as Rishi Dayananda has done, these translators following Sayanacharya have interpreted the word as the wives of the gods (Wilson) or the Goddesses ( Griffith) which is not at all correct. The word पत्र is derived from पत्लु- गतौ गतेस्त्रयोऽर्था: ज्ञानंगमनं प्राप्तिश्च Taking the 2nd and third meaning of the verb पद-गतौ Rishi Dayananda's interpretation of अच्छिन्नपत्रा: as अविच्छिन्नानि पत्राणिकर्मसाधनानि येषां ते is quite correct as movement and the attainment of happiness imply the means of action. Other commentators like Sayanacharya, Wilson and Griffith have taken it to mean wings for which in the Vedic and Sanskrit literature the word used is not पत्र but पतत्र| Shri Madhvacharya has interpreted अच्छिन्नपत्रा: as अविधवा: not widows, but living with their husbands. प्राणेनैवावसा साकं, यस्मादविधवाः सदा । अतोह्यच्छिन्नपत्रास्ताः, सौवर्णकर्णभूषणाः ॥ (माध्वे ऋ० भाष्ये । Explaining which Raghavendra Yati says in मन्त्रार्थ मंजरी अवैधव्यहेतुनित्यसौमंगल्योपेता: Lucky and auspicious wives of the devas. This interpretation is better than Sayanacharya as अच्छिन्नपत्राः-अच्छिन्नपक्षाः । नहि पक्षिरूपाणां देवपत्नीनां पक्षाः केनचित् छिद्यन्ते ॥ which Wilson translates as “whose wings are unclipt. Sayanacharya supposes the wives of the gods to assume the form of the birds whose wings can not be clipped. This is his wild imagination and nothing else.
