The language of the Vedas and how to understand it

This is a reference to the Krama method of reading the text, which enables us to transform a mantra or a hymn of praise into Vidhi or the law of life. Indeed, if the Vedas have any real value, they should have a different interpretation. We are led to this conclusion by the use of certain special terms in the text. But it is necessary to have a regular system of interpretation, which indeed exists, but requires skill to use it.

For instance, we can easily understand the meaning of the word Tvashtr, but not so of the number thirty. Again, there are certain words the meaning of which has been defined, and they have to be understood in that light. There is personification too: for instance, Desire is personified as a god, and associated with the Soma juice.
