व्याख्याVyakhya
प्रजापति की तीन सन्तानें — देव, मनुष्य और असुर — अपने पिता प्रजापति के पास ब्रह्मचर्य करके रही थीं। ब्रह्मचर्य पूरा करके देवों ने कहा, 'भगवन्, हमें बताइए।' प्रजापति ने उनसे यह अक्षर कहा: 'द।' फिर पूछा, 'समझे?' उन्होंने कहा, 'समझे। आपने हमसे कहा: दाम्यत, अपने को वश में रखो।' (प्रजापति ने कहा,) 'हाँ, तुमने समझ लिया।'
