Lexicon

of Rig Veda

prayas, delight

Sri Aurobindo wrote about coupled terms mayas and prayas: “mayas, the principle of inner felicity independent of all objects, prayas, its outflowing as the delight and pleasure of the soul in objects and beings. The Vedic happiness is this divine felicity which brings with it the boon of a pure possession and sinless pleasure in all things founded upon the unfailing touch of the Truth and Right in the freedom of a large universality.” (CWSA.– Vol.15.– 1998, p.510.)
