The third essay titled, "Sleeping to Salvation: Vedic Codes and Practices" intensely discourses on the Br¿hmäic injunctions pronounced in the didactic text ¿c¿rakk¿vai. It poignantly deliberates on all codes and conducts-that one needs to follow sincerely in his/her inner (home) and outer (public) spheres - as prescribed by the poet Kayatt¿r Peruv¿yin Mu¿¿iy¿r.
