RV 1.84.14
indra knew by will the head of horse ( ashva ) is behind the mountains, in the sharyanaavat lake.
head of horse reminds me of briharanyaka 1.1.1 which says head of sacrificial horse is dawn. now i am imagining a theory. i consider dawn and sharyanaavat lake be the same, at agya chakra, the meeting point of all the subtle nerves. behind the mountains, mountains may be something in outer nerves i don't know.
some tantrik texts says there are three layers of shushumna nerve which goes straight upwards among the three nerves ( of which other two are ida and pingla, coiling around shushumna like two snakes coiling around a straight line ). inside outer layer of shushumna nerve one inner layer is of suryamandal. inside surya mandal again is a nerve called chandra mandal.
next mantra is talking about that chandra mandal, as it says in 1.84.15 " Then verily they recognized the essential form of Tvaṣṭar's ( indra as sun ), Here in the mansion of the Moon."
movement in outer nerve ( of sun ) is felt in inner nerve ( moon ).
For RV 1.84.14 sayanacharya think of a story that to defeat demons indra wished for some parts of dadhichi rishi. The ashvamukh by which dadhichi rishi taught to ashvinikumar was behind sharyanaat sarovar, indra got it , made vajra with it and defeated the demons.
If we assume this story going inside the body, then ashva here means the life force. ashva's literal meaning is one which moves very fast. thus it is nervous actions flowing in nerves or praan. further we take agya chakra as sharyanaat sarovar , then we can say that vajra was made of life force which was somewhere located in brain.
The horse which indra yokes, is the same life force. ( 1.84. 6 When, Indra, thou dost yoke thy Steeds, there is no better charioteer:
None hath surpassed thee in thy might, none with good steeds o’ertaken thee.)
The chariot which indra drives, it’s axis is truth.(1.84.16). Thus we know that his chariot is symbolical, and it moves down to up in an axis of truth. And life force driving it.
