Mahyam is equal to 'mam uddisya' i.e., referring to my divine nature. An ascetic loses his penances by cursing another rightly or wrongly. Hence, forgiveness was always practised by the Brahmanas who were ascetics. A Brahmana's strength consisted in forgiveness. The more forgiving he was, the more powerful he became. The first asat or non-existent refers to such objects as the horns of the hare.
Thou art those sacred Days that end or conclude these periods. Thou art the Kalas. Thou art the Kashthas. Thou art the Lavas. Thou art the Matras. Thou art the Muhurtas and Days and Nights.

To render it as "immortality" is, perhaps, a little slovenly, for every soul is immortal, and this particular section inculcates it. Sat and asat are the two words which must be distinctly understood as they occur often in Hindu philosophy.

"Here resides Asat, Khan of Indian Jooneer, a tributary of Meliktuchar.... He has been fighting the Kofars for twenty years, being sometimes beaten but mostly beating them."
