Text 25] Lord Paraguraima Destroys the Ruling Class 265

TRANSLATION

Thus Jamadagni, being worshiped by Lord ParasSurama, was
brought back to life with full remembrance, and he became one of
the seven sages in the group of seven stars.

PURPORT

The seven stars revolving around the polestar at the zenith are called
saptarsi-mandala. On these seven stars, which form the topmost part of
our planetary system, reside seven sages: Kasyapa, Atri, Vasistha,
Visvamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni and Bharadvaja. These seven stars are
seen every night, and they each make a complete orbit around the
polestar within twenty-four hours. Along with these seven stars, all the
others stars also orbit from east to west. The upper portion of the uni-
verse is called the north, and the lower portion is called the south. Even
in our ordinary dealings, while studying a map, we regard the upper
portion of the map as north.
