टिप्पणी: Here Rishi Dayananda Sarasvati interprets the word (Indra) as a learned man possessing the great wealth of wisdom, as the word is derived from इदि परमैश्वर्ये Sayanacharya and following him Prof. Wilson and Griffith interpret Indra as a Deity who is to be worshipped. The adjectives used in the Mantra विग्रम्, अस्तृतम् विपश्चितम् clearly denote that here a learned wise man is meant and his duties are expressly stated. (अस्तृतम् ) Rishi Dayananda interprets it as अहिंसकम् observer of non-violence. स्तृ-हिंसायाम् नञ, Sayanacharya Wilson and Griffith take it to mean only अहिन्सितम् uninjured (Wilson) or unconquered one ( Griffith) Rishi Dayananda's interpretation is very significant, pointing out the duty of nonviolence on the part of a true teacher (पृच्छ )-admittedly means-ask questions. But Sayanacharya unjustifiably confines it to asking Indra about the fitness of the priest असौ स्तोता सम्यक् स्तुतवान् न वेति प्रश्नं कुरु which Wilson translates as. “Ask him (Indra) of the fitness of the learned priest who recites his praise" Why to narrow down the universal teaching of the Vedas in this way? This is what Sayanacharya and his followers have done, that is why Rishi Dayananda had to criticize their interpretation in his commentary Every one knows that Varam (वरम् ) means good. Rishi Dayananda has taken it to mean वरं विज्ञानम् Good Knowledge that a Scholar gives, but Sayanacharya has interpreted it as श्रेष्ठं धनं पुत्रादिकम् i. e. Good Wealth in the form of son etc. It is in almost all places that Sayana gives this narrow and materialistic or ritualistic meaning to the words.
