Anuvaka 3 presents an extremely sophisticated understanding of Bhagavan. It is a treatise on all the belligerent elements in the universe and it explains the machinations of the law of karma from the standpoint of Ishwara. This Anuvaka when assimilated correctly is a lesson on vairagya (freedom from attachment) and viveka (discrimination between the real and unreal) required for spiritual growth.

Up until now, all the benign manifestations have been discussed as nothing other than Bhagavan. As Anuvaka 2 comes to a close, the all pervasive nature of Bhagavan is reinforced. Progressing to Anuvaka 3, the sadhaka also progresses in maturity. We are introduced to the not-so benign aspects of the universe, our vision undergoes a transformation as we are shown how to see them. This third Anuvaka takes us on a journey of spiritual growth and frees us from guilt.

Mantras hold the power to dissolve all hopelessness and it helps one cross the river of samsara. In these verses, Rudra is invoked as the source and recipient of all mantras. Rudra is recognized as the truth of everything, Rudra is all light and all knowledge (Sat-Chit-Ananda), hence nothing is ever hidden from him. Rudra is the Vedas itself that reveal the truth hidden from me.

The oneness reiterated so gracefully throughout Sri Rudram is the essence of the vision of Vedanta. These verses bring out the vibrancy of Bhagavan's presence in everything one sees, including oneself. Rudra, the creator of this universe is beyond ignorance hence beyond the spell of his own creation. To this Rudra who wields the power to cut down samsara of all his Bhaktas (devotees), I surrender.

Mantra 2 forms the entire second Anuvaka. Each mantra brings out the glory of Bhagavan and bears fruit accordingly. This mantra gives inner clarity, purpose and discipline needed for the pursuit of knowledge towards Moksha. One begins to see this entire Jagat (world) as Bhagavan, recognizing and saluting the adistana devata (presiding deity) in everything, thereby losing subjectivity and felling the tree of samsara.
