GOD MORNING : Sampatteriti jaiministatha hi darsayati I.2.31 (62) Sampatteh: because of imaginary identity; Iti: thus, so; Jaimini: (says) Jaimini; Tatha: in this way; Hi: because; Darsayati: (the Sruti) declares. Jaimini says that the description refers to a state of realisation of form between the crown of the head and the chin in your body. The cosmic being is worshipped through the identification of different parts of His with the different parts of the worshippers body from the top of head to the chin. The head of the meditator or worshipper is heaven, the eyes the sun and the moon, and so on. In this meditation the cosmic being is limited to the size of a span, the distance from the crown of the head to the chin. Hence Jaimini says that the Highest Lord in the passage under discussion is considered as of the size of a span. The Sruti also declares The teacher said, pointing to his own head. `This is the Highest Vaisvanara i.e. the head of the VaisvanaraVajasaneyi Brahmana.
