Vedic Yajnas Srauta yajnas or sacred ones.

Paka Yajnas — ordinary rituals done easily as a basic duty

depth of the science based on veda ...how?


पूर्णिमान्त मास मानने पर मास का प्रारम्भ (पूर्वपक्ष) कृष्णपक्ष होता है और उत्तरपक्ष (उत्तरार्ध) शुक्लपक्ष होता है। परन्तु तैत्तिरीय ब्राह्मण और निरुक्त में मास का प्रारम्भ शुक्ल पक्ष से और समाप्ति (उत्तरार्ध) कृष्णपक्ष से बताया गया है। इस प्रकार का मास


अमान्त मास होता है। यह भी कहा गया है है कि पूर्वपक्ष अर्थात् शुक्लपक्ष देवों से संबद्ध है और उत्तरार्ध कृष्णपक्ष असुरों से ,निरुक्त में शुक्ल पक्ष को पूर्वपक्ष और कृष्णपक्ष को उत्तरपक्ष (उत्तरार्ध) बताया है ।

आधुनिक पंचांग एक प्रकार से दोनों पद्धतियों का समन्वय हैं । इनमें


मास पूर्णिमान्त होते हैं अर्थात् मास का प्रारम्भ कृष्णपक्ष से होता है और समाप्ति शुक्ल पक्ष से, अतः मास की समाप्ति पूर्णिमा को होती है । परन्तु वर्ष का प्रारम्भ शुक्लपक्ष से होता है, अर्थात् चैत्र शुक्लपक्ष से वर्ष प्रारम्भ होता है और आगामी चैत्र कृष्णपक्ष की अमावस्या को वर्ष


पूरा होता है। इस प्रकार मास पूर्णिमान्त हैं और वर्ष अमान्त हैं। अतः आधुनिक पंचांग दोनों पद्धतियों का समन्वय समझना चाहिए ।

इसी प्रकार दोनों अयन अर्थात् उत्तरायण और दक्षिणायन का भी भेद किया गया है । उत्तरायण का संबन्ध देवों से है और दक्षिणायन का पितरों से । शतपथ ब्राह्मण में इसी

How can we use language supervision to learn better visual representations for robotics?

Introducing Voltron: Language-Driven Representation Learning for Robotics!

Paper: https://t.co/gIsRPtSjKz
Models: https://t.co/NOB3cpATYG
Evaluation: https://t.co/aOzQu95J8z

🧵👇(1 / 12)


Videos of humans performing everyday tasks (Something-Something-v2, Ego4D) offer a rich and diverse resource for learning representations for robotic manipulation.

Yet, an underused part of these datasets are the rich, natural language annotations accompanying each video. (2/12)

The Voltron framework offers a simple way to use language supervision to shape representation learning, building off of prior work in representations for robotics like MVP (
https://t.co/Pb0mk9hb4i) and R3M (https://t.co/o2Fkc3fP0e).

The secret is *balance* (3/12)

Starting with a masked autoencoder over frames from these video clips, make a choice:

1) Condition on language and improve our ability to reconstruct the scene.

2) Generate language given the visual representation and improve our ability to describe what's happening. (4/12)

By trading off *conditioning* and *generation* we show that we can learn 1) better representations than prior methods, and 2) explicitly shape the balance of low and high-level features captured.

Why is the ability to shape this balance important? (5/12)
