SUMMARY: Sri Hari, who is addressed with the word “Vari”, which in Sanskrit means
‘water’, lives in water, transforms into six types of juices, wears thirty-six
thousand types of female pulses and thirty-six thousand types of male pulses;
by doing so, he stays within all the physical forms day and night in the name
of Bruhatee and roams about.
In numerology, the alphabets are
assigned numbers and used in code language. The Sanskrit alphabets are divided
into KAdinava, TAdinava, PAdipanchaha and YAdiaShTaha. The word VAri, which
means water, signifies six because VA is the fourth letter in YAdiaShTaha and
Ri is the second letter in the same group. Therefore 4+2=6, which symbolically
means that there are six types of tastes or juices in water namely sweet,
bitter, sour, salt, hot and pungent.
In Bruhatee Chandas, there are
thirty-six letters of which thirty-six are vowels and thirty-six consonants.
The forms of vowels are considered as male forms and Aharniyamaka or deciders
of daytime; the consonants are considered to be female forms and deciders of
night or RAtriniyAmaka forms. A thousand syllogistic clusters in Bruhatee
Chandas is known as Bruhateesahasra.
In Aitareyopanishat and Bhashya,
it has been clearly mentioned that as many as seventy-two forms of the Lord are
thee in Bruhateesahasra.

SUMMARY: These six Rasas or juices convert into eighteen types with the combinations
in different ratio, where the vitality or inherent power of each component is
mixed. In these eighteen forms or types, Lord Sri Hari lives in six forms
namely sAra (concentrate), AsAra (zero concentrate), Neeta, prachura, KhanDa and
AKhanDa. By thinking of Sri Hari to be present in seventy-two thousand forms in
the body as well as eatables, one should consume the food.
The six Rasas or juices comprise
of six each in Satwik, Rajas and Tamas food varieties, which together become
eighteen.
Sara means the different forms
of milk; AsAra signify grass and its varieties; Neeta are specific grains;
Prachura means sugar, salt etc.; KhanDa exists in each grain of rice,
separately and AKhanDa signifies the tastes present in all the eatables, put
together.
