But in the spiritual interpretation, each of
the seven sages represent specific psychological powers which are
located within the body. This is clearly stated in the 55th verse.
United in their praise-songs, united in holy chants,
united in lustre, divinely elected,
the Seven Sages, God-like, serene,
following the path of the fore-fathers,
took up the reins in succession
like one seated on a chariot. SYV (34.49)
The Seven Sages are lodged in the body,
the Seven guard the home unerring,
the Seven Waters seek the world of the sleeping One,
and then awake the two unsleeping Devas
who are companions at the rites. SYV (34.55)
