Namaste Krishnamoorthy Ji,
////
Manyu generally means anger
///
As per sAyaNa, manyu is "krOdhAbhimAni dEvata" ie., who presides over the chitta-vritti
called "krOdha".
Even yAska too says that "manyurmanyatErdIptikarmaNaH krOdhakarmaNO vadhakarmaNO vA".
So, my heart is always with sAyaNa and yAska, as i am an advaitin. However, I enjoy reading
various commentaries to enrich my knowledge which helps me further to delve deep into the
upAsana. What amazes me is that a single mantra from shruti can be explained in so many
shades which is a food for thought for a person who is thirsty for knowledge.
regs,
sriram
