WHETHER "SAHA NAU BHUNAKTU" MEANS EATING TOGETHER?


The  traditional interpretation  is as follows:
The context is with reference to Study of VidyA.
The Sishya prays " Saha nau Bhunaktu." This means " Vidyaphalam bhojayatu" .
The Student prays to the Brahman  to grant the fruit of the vidyA to both the preceptor and himself.
