Translation [अन्वय - स्वामी दयानन्द] -

O wealthy learned leader ! shining like the fire. be the protector of the divine virtues and the enlightened persons. You bestow happiness to all. As the fire kindled by you gives happiness to the unifier, in the same manner, let your three spans of life which give physical, mental and spiritual happiness (like the three dawns which are known to all by giving light) bestow joy and mitigate misery.

Purport [भावार्थ - स्वामी दयानन्द] -

If a man desires to multiply the span of life by the observance of the Brahmacharya for a long period, and under a proper and regulated daily life, then he can live up to the age of three hundred years. This is what all should know.

Foot Notes -

(त्रीणि ) विविधानि शरीरात्ममनः सुखकराणि = Three spans of life giving physical, spiritual and mental happiness. By three spans of life are meant 300 years. The average of an ordinary person according to the Vedic concept is 100 years. जीवेम शरदः शतम् ( यजु० 36, 24 ) । शतायुर्वेपुरुषः । (यजमानाय ) सङ्गन्त्रे।= Unifier. (आजानीः) समन्तात्प्रसिद्धाः। = Well known. The three dawns (Ushasah) referred to in the mantra are not clear. Two of them are quite well-known, the dawn in the morning before the sun-rise and the dawn commencing after the sun-set before the advent of night. By the third, may be taken the spiritual dawn of illumination hinted at in the Yoga Sutras as विशोका वा ज्योतिष्मती, (Yoga Darshan 1, 36 ) which is realized by concentrating one's mind on the heart Centre where the soul and God both reside.
