Yes Naina

I am glad Renuka, you and I see eye-to-eye on this issue. There is also another verse starts with:

Pitassi Lokaysa, Charaacharaysya - Thou art the Father of the world and all that moves and static.....

And ends with:

Piteva putraysa, Sakheva sakhyuhu, Priya Priyayaar hasi deva sodum. - Bear with me as father with a son,
friend with a friend and as lover with his beloved.

Naina your observation "the need for the self to invoke these relationships" is absolutely "spot-on". Kudos.
