Could someone suggest the starting place for learning Sanskrit with absolutely no knowledge of Devanagari script or Hindi? Where do I start? Are there sites that walk students through from square one? Books? I am learning Arabic and they don’t just start with the alphabet – they also introduce words and phrases spelled phonetically in Roman letters. I hope there is material available for Sanskrit like that and that someone could suggest some. Thanks very much!!

Correct pronunciation is the heart of Sanskrit language. So the script ought to be a phonetic script.
There is no script better than Devanagari to make a good, unmistakably error-free, confident start-off on learning Sanskrit.
As they say, “there should not be short-cuts on the path of success”. A serious, determined effort to learn Sanskrit should be to start with learning Devanagari script. I consider that anyone wanting to learn Sanskrit without learning the script is not serious and sincere to one’s own goal.
Believe me, the script is not difficult. What is more, it is so well-structured. Because it is phonetic one does not have to learn spellings and pronunciations separately. In English we have the problem of how to pronounce the vowel ‘a’ in words ‘far’ ‘fat’ ‘fall’ ‘another’ In English we have vowels ‘a’ ‘e’ ‘i’ ‘o’ ‘u’ and also ‘y’ spread here and there across the alphabet. In Devanagari we have them all in a set.
Look at the beauty of the structure of the script. You will love it. Once you will find love of it, you will learn it fast, quite fast, I am sure.
I myself made a start on devising a course to “learn Sanskrit in distance-learning mode” I have uploaded six lessons so far at my blog http://slabhyankar.wordpress.com But there also first lesson is on the Devanagari script only. I would never subscribe to the idea that a course for learning Sanskrit should circumvent the essential starting point of learning the script. Circumventing would end up misguiding a student right at the start. That would be sinful, that a course should misguide a student right at the start.

Thanks you, S. L. Abhyankar. Then I will learn Sanskrit differently from Arabic, as per your suggestion.
I have the book, “Introduction to Sanskrit” by Thomas Egenes, but he includes phonetic spellings to introduce some vocabulary beyond what letters & sounds have been studied in the Devanagari script. So, I will skip those and simply master the script, then afterward begin to follow the lessons on your site. Is that right?
I believe you, that Sanskrit is an elegant language. I am looking forward to gaining some small level of proficiency in it.

Thank you! I’m glad to know I have the right spirit! 🙂 For anyone who might not know, this site http://acharya.iitm.ac.in/sanskrit/lessons.php has the sounds of the letters. I put them on my cell phone where I can play back groups in a continuous cycle while looking at the Devanagari symbols, thereby doing precisely as you suggest – bypassing the Roman phonetic attempt at showing how they sound. I actually want soooo much to read some sacred texts in their own language. Thank you, S. L. Abhyankar, a million times for your help toward that end! It means so much! ~Highly Motivated

Catherine Madam,
Even when i started composing my lessons for “Learning Sanskrit in Distance-learning mode” I was really wondering whether I was spending time in reinventing the wheel. And lo! what a site you have located!! Great!!
That shows your penchant for learning!! I must salute you. I am very much enchanted that “Acharya” and his team at iitm (Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai) have put in such a marvellous site and you located it!!
For many people who are looking for a good website for learning Sanskrit, you have shown one!

Dear S. L. Abhyankar,
If what you have invented is a wheel, if you’ll permit, it seems to be a very unique one. I have found no one else who is actively involved in fielding students’ questions as you do! I look forward to the time when I am ready to begin the lessons on your site!
I don’t mean to hog your attention, but I have another question. The acharya site seems to be missing a sound in the long vowels. I don’t know how to access my Devanagari font yet, but it is similar to English long L. Can you tell me what that looks like? The short one looks like a heart hanging from the horizontal line. Oh, I can cut & paste: ऌ I wrote to the webmaster, but he never responded. Why do you suppose they have the sound and not the symbol? Are the long and short symbols the same?
Thanks so much for your help!!
LikeLike
लृ is the short vowel
लॄ is the long one
Since audio for short ones includes लृ for the long one लॄ you have to extend the ending “u”” sound that much longer, so that it sounds “oo”. So the short one “lRu” and the long one “lRU”. This is how one types in BARAHA PAD.
As is mentioned at the website, it is difficult to comprehend, why the Rishis who devised the script, thought of including these as vowels. These probably one specimen of “Exceptions also prove a rule!” 🙂
I know of only one word, where the short लृ is used. The word is क्लृप्ति meaning an idea, a scheme, a strategy
BARAHA PAD would be another good facility for typing / scripting in Devanagari. I use that only for all my Devanagari scripting. One just activates the script one wants under “languages” and types English spelling. If you select “sanskrit”, and type in English, at the end of the word, BARAHA PAD promptly converts the spelling into the script of the set language, so into Devanagari for Sanskrit language.
Some letters need special spelling for example,
“oum” will render ॐ
“aM” will render अं
“am” will render अम्
“aH” will render अः
“ah” will render अह्
The “help” menu explains all that.
BARAHA PAD will also help you greatly to get acquainted with Devanagari script quite comfortably.
All the best!!

Noted below are some सुभाषितानि, which emphasise almost the same meaning as contained in the phrases mentioned by you.
Contentment is the highest gain,

Actually the complete SubhaaShitam is as follows –
सर्पाः पिबन्ति पवनं न च दुर्बलास्ते ।
शुष्कैस्तृणैर्वनगजा बलिनो भवन्ति ।

Meaning is –
Serpents drink the wind, they are not weak,

Being contented is the best solace.
good company the highest course,

To Nate:
The stem form of “brother” in Devanagari (the script Sanskrit is commonly printed in today) is भ्रातृ (pronounced bhraatri). If it’s the subject of a sentence, it’s bhraataa: भ्राता . If you want to say “one who has a brother” you would say भ्रातृवलः (bhraatrivalaha). Or if you wanted to say, “brotherhood” or “fraternity,” you’d say भ्रात्र्यम् (bhraatryam). Happy birthday.

My point-of-view is that amongst all who ask for help with writing things in Devanagari script or translating into Sanskrit, even if one genuine soul is there who is encouraged to use Sanskrit for their own progress, I would consider my job well done.
Sanskrit is a wonderful language and I am happy to do everything practical to promote it.
In summary both of you have a valid point-of-view.

The word tattvadarshin is used in second line of verse 34 in chapter 4 in Shreemad-Bhagavad-Geetaa. the verse is
तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्नेन सेवया |
उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्त्वदर्शिनः ||
This second line seems to lay down eligibility criteria for a person to be regarded as a precept or a teacher. A teacher has to be a ज्ञानिन् which means he has to be knowledgeable of the subject. But every person who knows a subject may not necessarily have the skill to explain it to a student. Hence the other criterion that he has to be तत्त्वदर्शिन् one who can demostrate the principle.
This word तत्त्वदर्शिन् has two parts तत्त्व + दर्शिन्
तत्त्व = the principle, often the fundamental principle or the fundamental. Philosophically this word तत्त्व has great import. By its etymology, the word means “that, which has the quality or characteristics of being ‘that’! This way, it means the principle, the fundamental principle!
तत्त्व = तत् + त्व That is why you have done correct spelling by using two ‘t’s. The suffix त्व stands for “having quality” The main word तत् means ‘that’. Together, तत्त्व = तत् + त्व means quality of being that. But तत्त्व finally becomes a common noun and hence would have the extended meaning as “that, which has the quality or characteristics of being ‘that’! Any topic in any ‘knowledge’ would comprise of fundamental principles, तत्त्वानि e.g. axioms or theorems in geometry.
दर्शिन् = one who has the capability to show, to demonstrate or to explain.
A teacher of geometry should be able to explain all the theorems of geometry!
By knowing for oneself, a person becomes ज्ञानी
To be a teacher he should be able get down to the level of the student and bring the student from there. For that he has to be a तत्त्वदर्शिन्
I love tis verse very much. To me in two lines this verse summarises the whole science of education – the first line explaining the science and methodology of learning and the second line summarising the essentials of teaching, together the whole science of education – in just two lines!!
What a scripture Geetaa is !! The principles elucidated there are universally valid. Humanity has been misled by those who called it as a scripture of the Hindus. Geetaa nowhere says it is only for Hindus or only of Hindus.

Hi Ian,
I think, सुप्रभातम is the right word to use. I am not a scholar of samskrit (leave alone ever learning it). However most of the indian languages are derived from samskrit. सुप्रभात looks like a hindi version of सुप्रभातम

There is nothing tacky about admiration in my opinion. I have a few tattoos, 2 of them in other languages. People should always evolve throughout life; and their tattoos are subject to evolve with them. There is also nothing wrong with people, especially the young, to have interest and the need or passion to learn of other beliefs and philosophies, religions or cultures; it should be encouraged, not scrutinized. And, even if it is just a trendy phase in life – we all go through it at one time in our life, some more than others. Again, it is their time to learn, not yours to judge.

“everything happens for a reason” is best stated in the first line of Shloka 21 of Adhyaaya 13 of Bhagavadgeetaa
कार्यकारणकर्तृत्वे हेतुः प्रकृतिरुच्यते ।
To be read as –
Kaarya-KaaraNa-kartrutve hetuh prakruti-r’uchyate.
Cause and Action make the very purpose of existence of “Nature”. “Nature” is to be understood as all the material world.
One should rather dwell upon three shlokas 20-22 together.
प्रकृतिं पुरुषं चैव विद्ध्यनादी उभावपि |
विकारांश्च गुणांश्चैव विद्धि प्रकृतिसम्भवान् ||१३-२०||
कार्यकारणकर्तृत्वे हेतुः प्रकृतिरुच्यते |
पुरुषः सुखदुःखानां भोक्तृत्वे हेतुरुच्यते ||१३-२१||
पुरुषः प्रकृतिस्थो हि भुङ्क्ते प्रकृतिजान्गुणान् |
कारणं गुणसङ्गोऽस्य सदसद्योनिजन्मसु ||१३-२२||
Great Indian philosopher Gurudev Ranade (1886-1957) observed that realm of philosophy deals in three broad subjects – metaphysics, ethics and spiritualism. Much of this Adhyaaya (Chapter) 13 dwells on Metaphysics and details relevance of Prakruti (Nature) and Purush (The Soul) as two prominent entities of metaphysics. (प्रकृतिं पुरुषं चैव विद्ध्यनादी उभावपि |)
To be replete with vices and virtues (rather, good and bad effects) is inherent to Prakruti (Nature) विकारांश्च गुणांश्चैव विद्धि प्रकृतिसम्भवान् ||१३-२०||
Because, cycles of causes and actions is inherent to Prakruti (कार्यकारणकर्तृत्वे हेतुः प्रकृतिरुच्यते |)
When the Soul resides in Prakruti, (पुरुषः प्रकृतिस्थो हि)
it manifests the characteristics inherent to such residence (भुङ्क्ते प्रकृतिजान्गुणान्)
and hence gets into the cycles of causes and actions (कारणं गुणसङ्गोऽस्य सदसद्योनिजन्मसु)
and in turn has to experience the sorrows and happinesses (पुरुषः सुखदुःखानां भोक्तृत्वे हेतुरुच्यते)
This is just a glimpse to appreciate why Geetaa is a great scripture!!

Meaning of विश्व is usually considered to be “The Universe”, so, more comprehensive. Relatively जगत् is more commonplace, the “World”. But for this fine difference, the sentence यत् परिवर्तनं विश्वे द्रष्टुम् इच्छसि तत् त्वमेव भव is also good.

Difficult part is writing “Nanna” properly. Devanagari script is totally a phonetic script. In this script, it is important to understand that we write the sounds and not just the letters. Hence the letters in Devanagari have the same name as their pronunciation. In the Roman script, letter ‘a’ has its name ‘a’ but could be pronounced differently. Pronunciation of ‘a’ is different in ‘cat’ and different in ‘far’ and still different in ‘ball’. We would not know how you would be pronouncing “Nanna”. Depending upon the pronunciation it will have to be written differently in Devanagari. Given below are four different ways of writing “Nanna”, for four different pronunciations which I could think of.
नॅन्ना = Nan-na with pronunciation of first part Nan as in Nan-ny and pronunication of second part ‘-na’ as in Tina
नन्ना = Nun-na with pronunciation of first part as in ‘nun’ and pronunication of second part ‘-na’ as in Tina
नान्ना = Naan-na with pronunciation of ‘aa’ as in ‘far’ and pronunication of second part ‘-na’ as in Tina
नेना = Nen-na with pronunciation of first part as in ‘Ten’ and pronunication of second part ‘-na’ as in Tina
As far as मम सार्धम् is concerned, because the two words together make the phrase meaning ‘with me’ or ‘by my side’ they should not be separated away from each other. One can transpose the total phrase anywhere in the sentence. The facility of transposing phrases anywhere is another beauty of Sanskrit. This is great facility, especially for composing poetry. Much of Sanskrit literature is poetry. And poetry makes it so easy to commit to memory. That possibly is the essence why Hindu scriptures have been alive even after thousands of years, much of them passed from generation to generation only orally and yet they have the stamp of inbuilt eternal existence with hardly any distortions.
Shall I say something about tattooing? If ‘Nanna’ is so dear to you, please keep her in your heart and do not bring her out from there – out from your heart, on to your body. Place for dear ones is in the heart and not on the body.

Two words can be put together in three ways – by Sandhi or by Samaasa or as a phrase. संधि or समास or वाक्यांश / शब्दसमूह (Vaakyaansha / Shabdasamooha)
Two words can be put together by Sandhi only if the ending of first word, even in natural pronunciation, merges automatically into the beginning of the next word. e.g. aham + asmi = ahamasmi अहं + अस्मि = अहमस्मि
About putting two words together by Samaasa, please see my post under समासानां परिचयः (Introduction to SamAsa, compounds). The two words मम and सार्धम् can be put together as a compound as मत्सार्धम्.
Just joining two words as ममसार्धम् does not qualify it to be either a Sandhi or a SamAs. As a phrase, one simply keeps two or more words, next to each other, together and one does not really join them. Joining them will be incorrect. Joining has to be either a Sandhi or a SamAsa.
I hope you will get it right.

A translation as कश्चिदपि दिवसः मरणाय युक्तो भवेत् । to be read as “Kashchidapi diwasah maraNaaya yukto bhavet” would mean “May any day be good for death.”
My first reaction to the post was, “Why do people indulge in such negative thinking?” So, I did not feel like replying.
Michael’s statement that “Everyday should be a good day to die” leads me to think, whether it is for the day to be good. If our conduct is good, it would not matter when we die. This is precisely, what is mentioned in a proverbial wisdom
गृहीत इव केशेषु मृत्युना धर्ममाचरेत् । Forever be alert of being righteous, and alert that you are always in the grasp of the Death, which is holding you by the tufts of your hair. This implies that no one should be caught unawares by the Death, such that Death catches up with you when you are not righteous. One should be always sublime in conduct, more so when bidding “good bye” to this world.
And yet there is some convention for the better time for death. Death is supposed to be a happy ending for a Yogi, if it happens led by the Deities of Fire, of Sun, of Daytime, of first fortnight of the month and of the six months after the solstice in January, (see Shloka 24 in Chapter 8 of Bhagavadgeetaa) अग्निर्ज्योतिरहःशुक्लः षण्मासा उत्तरायणम् ।
Bheeshma, the great grandfather of Kaurava’s and PaaNdava’s was well aware of this. He was also blessed to choose the time of his death. So, even after he was felled by Arjun on the battlefield, he lay alive on a bed of arrows and waited for the day-break after the solstice in January.

Body is susceptible to afflictions. So body cannot be and should not be the place for nobler thoughts. Noble thoughts should be etched on the mind. Once so done, noble behaviour should become habitual conduct. It should then not require any reminders anytime.
Fancy for tattoos exemplifies weakness of the mind that it needs reminders – even for the noble thoughts (?)

While I would certainly agree to the ephemeral nature of the body, it is still a part of human existence that can be changed, imrpoved upon, and used as a form of media- you cannot assume that a tattoo is merely a reminder that shores up a weakness of the mind when the intent may in fact be to illustrate or educate or, dare I use the word, evangelise what is written?
Indeed one could argue that although modern technology could eventually erase the inking, it is a permanent act- one that implies constancy, permanence, and symbolizes much that is contrary to modern, disposable, and materialistic society… just a thought!

Dear Mr. Sunny Patel,
I picked up the word अविनाशी from 2-17 only. But on closer analysis I find that being अविनाशी is mentioned as characteristics of that तत् which is further described as येन सर्वमिदं ततम् meaning that superior element which created all that is, was and will be. So what is referred to as अविनाशी in 2-17 is not soul in general, but the Supreme, which is the creator of the universe.
Soul in general being indestructible, etc. is better detailed in verses 2-19 to 2-25.
It can also be noticed that for the Supreme, in 2-17 the pronoun used is तत् which is Third person neuter. In 2-19 to 2-25 all mentions are in Masculine, which is more the reference to soul in general.
No clear mention is made in 2-17 about what is that तत् which is referred to there. But that it refers to the Supreme has to be understood by the description येन सर्वमिदं ततम् | and by the Neuter gender.
Likewise all what is referred to in 2-19 to 2-25 is to be understood as referring to आत्मा by keeping in mind the masculine gender. The word आत्मा is just not seen anywhere in all these 7 verses. But they refer only to आत्मा This understanding is in the manner of the saying “Those who know, know” यः पश्यति स पश्यति । See 13-27 and 13-29
I would not like to comment any further about tattooing. But I wonder how ironical it would become, if the spot where one would put a tattoo अविनाशी आत्मा, that exact spot may suffer a burn or a scar. Body is susceptible to afflictions. That cannot be denied.

Wow, that was very informative. So you’re saying “imperishable” as mentioned in 2:17 is referring to God and not one’s soul? I always thought that verse was about the soul and how it is immortal.
I understand your point about verses 2:19-2:25. Very interesting. I was having a discussing with a pundit the other day and he was mentioning the same thing.
Even so, will it make sense to translate “the imperishable soul” into अविनाशी आत्मा OR अमर आत्मा instead of आत्मा तु अविनाशी एव or would this make the phrase grammatically incorrect?
Thank you again, you have been very helpful.
LikeLike
I would agree that अविनाशी आत्मा is crisper than आत्मा तु अविनाशी एव | But आत्मा तु अविनाशी एव becomes a statement whereas अविनाशी आत्मा becomes just a phrase – an adjective and a noun. Optionally you can make आत्मा – अविनाशी The hyphen will give some hint that you have the focus of आत्मा being अविनाशी.
I would rather recommend अविनाशी आत्मा instead of अमर आत्मा because अमर आत्मा would be a grammatically okay in Hindi, Gujarathi, Marathi, but not Sanskrit. More than that, if you see 2-20, you will realise that Atma is eternal, it is neither born nor it has death न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचिन् It is not anything like ‘has happened’, ‘is to happen’ or ‘did happen’. नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः | The meaning of Atma being eternal is not exactly connoted by अमर आत्मा|
All the explanations in 2-23 i.e. नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः |
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः | (weapons cannot slash it, fire cannot burn it, waters can make it wet, wind cannot dry it) – all these more explain that it is indestructible. So, अविनाशी आत्मा summarises all that.

Please consider following corrections –

Instead of ‘indestructible’ maybe, the word used by you, ‘imperishable’ is less harsh than ‘indestructible’ and would hence sound better.

What is extempore and submarine in sanskrit?Where can we get an english to sanskrit dictionary online?
LikeLike
Extempore = उत्स्फूर्तम्
Submarine = below the surface of the sea = समुद्रपृष्ठात् अवगतम् = समुद्रपृष्ठावगतम् This will be the translation for ‘submarine’ as as adjective.
As a means of transport going or travelling below the surface of the sea, the translation can be समुद्रपृष्ठावगच्छत् यानम् or as a ship sailing below the surface of the sea समुद्रपृष्ठावगच्छती नौका or to put it more dramatically or idiomatically, as a means of transport travelling like a fish, मत्स्यवत् यानम् = मत्स्यवद्यानम् |
Of the ten incarnations of Lord VishNu, the first one was the fish. The mythology of the ten incarnations is virtually the anthropology of evolution of life. It appeals to be logical that basic form of life would have emanated in the congenial environment of water, since in the early stages of the cooling down of the earth as a planet of sun, the terrestrial environment could have been too hot for life to emanate. hence the first incarnation was मत्स्य ‘matsya’ the fish.
The second incarnation is कूर्म ‘koorma’, the Tortoise, a form of life which could sustain itself in both terrestrial and oceanic environments.
Next is a quadruped the वराह Varah the hippopotamus, which could move around well-balanced because of four feet and again, was comfortable both in terrestrial and watery environs.
Then comes नृसिंह ‘nrusinha’ half animal (lion), half man. Then वामन ‘Waamana’ a diminutive human form.
Then परशुराम ‘Parashuraama’ a grown up human, caricatured as somewhat uncultured or savage.
Then राम ‘Raama’ fully cultured human, with total sociologically benevolent conscience, and
then कृष्ण really a multi-faceted personality.
Then बुद्ध ‘buddha’ a spiritually magnificent soul.
Lastly, कलंकी where the deity कली rules, allowing the good and the evil to co-exist. The present period is known as कलियुग ‘kaliyug’ and how truly we see the good and the evil co-existing!!

Yes, there would be various ways to express “Trust your journey”. For the right translation, one should also know the context. For the phrase by itself, the translation-options would be
(1) प्रवासे विश्वसिहि Pravaase vishwasihi ‘Vaasah” means stay. “Pravaasah” means stay away from home. So, although the word “Pravaasah” is used as a translation for “journey”, by its etymology, it is not ourney; it is stay.
(2) गमने विश्वसिहि “gamaney vishwasihi” “gamanam” means going, just the action of going. Going from one room to another is also “going”. So, “gamanam” is not exactly “journey” But the word “gamanam” is also used to translate “journey”
(3) पथि विश्वसिहि “pathi vishwasihi” would mean “rely on your road” which is again an indirect way of saying “Trust your journey”
(4) One popular phrase to wish “Happy journey” has been to say “शुभास्ते सन्तु पन्थानः ।” “shubhaah-ste santu panthaanah” meaning, “May the paths of yours (paths, you would traverse) be happy and congenial”
You will hence appreciate, why it is important to know the context, to be able to give most appropriate translation.

‘a’ in the end of English spelling is likely to be pronounced with the vowel sound of ‘a’ as in ‘far’.
Actually, ‘a’ at the end of most Sanskrit words is not to be pronounced with the vowel sound ‘aa’ but only ‘a’ as in ‘another’.
It was with great difficulty that I could think of the word ‘another’ to tell which sound of ‘a’ is appropriate for the ending of Sanskrit words like Asana, prANAyAma or Yoga. Capital A more clearly conveys the vowel sound of ‘a’ as in ‘far’.
Not to put the ‘a’ in the end also becomes wrong, because then the consonant ‘n’ at the end in the word like ‘asan’ may be pronounced like the consonant sound of ‘m’ in the pronunciation of the English word ‘some’ or ‘sum’. The consonant sound of ‘g’ in ‘Yog’ is the more complete consonant as in ‘gut’ or as in ‘girl’ and not like that half sound of ‘m’ as in ‘sum’ or in ‘some’
There is always the dilemma of how to spell the consonant sounds, coming at the ending but ought to be the complete sounds. In English the consonant sounds at the words are rarely complete consonant sounds. Most of them are half sounds. In Sanskrit there are words with ending consonant sounds complete as in rAma, deva, jnyAna, dwija and words with half consonant sounds e.g. rAjan, manas, etad, dik, Atman, etc.
Actually words with complete consonant sound at the end are categorised as words with vowel-ending. So, rAma, deva, dwija are al words with vowel ending and consonant ending.
And there are words with ending of prolonged ‘a’ as in ‘far’. Words of such vowel ending are feminine nouns e.g. mAlA, ramA, shAlA, etc. yoga even if spelt with ‘a’ in the end are not to be pronounced with prolonged ‘a’ as in ‘far’ or ‘alma’

Your question asking whether आत्मानं प्रीणय। does mean “love yourself” is quite challenging. प्रीणय is imperative of second person singular of the verb प्री which has various shades of meaning, to please, to be pleased. The imperative of second person singular of the causative प्रयोजक would also be प्रीणय meaning make someone please another. Apte’s dictionary gives meanings of verb प्री as “please” and not as “love”. Sanskrit word for “loved one” or “dear one” is प्रिय the short “pri”. With long “pree” the meaning seems inclined rather towards “pleasure” than “love” So, meaning of आत्मानं प्रीणय। should rather be “please yourself” than “love yourself”.
If you have a guest and want to tell him to be comfortable, to say in the manner of “please yourself” then आत्मानं प्रीणय। would be the phrase.

One famous name of a leader of Bharatiya Janata party is वेन्कैय्या नायडू Venkaiah Naidu. विश्वेश्वरैय्या Vishveshwaraiyyaa is name of another famous Indian Engineer, who was an authority in designing dams. The ending “aiyyaa” is thus common primarily in South India, there again more common in Karnataka and Andhra. The ending stands for “respectable gentleman”.
As such this ending has no direct connection with Sanskrit. If your Godson is from Karnataka or Andhra, it seems my explanation would fit in.
In north India similar ending is popular for respectable ladies. The ending is not “aiyyaa”, but “maiyyaa” as in सीतामैय्या “Sitamaiyyaa”. All respectable ladies are considered respectfully love-able as one’s mother. In Hindi, मैय्या means mother.

“गोद्ब्ये येस्तेर्दय्” is simply an attempt to write the pronunciation, “goodbye yesterday” in Devanagari script. Even this attempt to script the pronunciation in Devanagari is not a good attempt. One can better write it as गुड् बाय् येस्टर्डे
Writing the pronunciation does not become the translation.
For translating “Goodbye yesterday”, one should have the noun form for “yesterday”. In “विगम ह्यस्” the word ह्यस् is not a noun. The word ह्यस् as a part of speech is an indeclinable. Since yesterday is the day gone by, then for a noun form for yesterday, one may compose a word such as “विगतदिन:” and then to say “Goodbye yesterday” one may say “विगतदिन, विगम |”

Hi!! Can someone please tell how to write I AM LOVE in sanskrit? Thank you!!!!!

If “I am Love” is to be understood to mean “I am love incarnate” then the translation can be स्नेहः अहमेव । Of course there would be different synonyms for the word “love” I have used “snehah”.
If “I am love” is to be understood to mean “I am in love” or “I am overcome with loving sentiments” the gem among poets Mahakavi Kalidasa uses the word कामार्ता: in the following verse in Meghadootam.
धूमज्योतिःसलिलमरुतां सन्निपातः क्व मेघः ।
सन्देशार्था: क्व पटुकरणैः प्राणिभिः प्रापणीयाः ।
इत्यौत्सुक्यादपरिगणयन् गुह्यकस्तं ययाचे ।
कामार्ता हि प्रकृतिकृपणाश्चेतनाचेतनेषु ॥
The meaning is –
Is not a cloud a phenomenon where the vapour, the lightning and the waters are together? Are not messages really to be sent through wise and agile bodies? But the Guhyakah i.e. the Yaksha having lost his sense of appropriateness made the request (to the cloud, to carry his message to his wife).
And by this Kalidasa brings forth a moral –
“Persons overcome with loving sentiments कामार्ता: lose their senses (become poor of judgement) about how to react or interact with whom.”

Hi,
Can someone help me write “Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments” in Sanskrit?
A thousand thanks in advance.
LikeLike
Congregation for Divine worship = ईशस्तवनार्थे सम्मेलनम् = ईशस्तवनसम्मेलनम् ।
For translation of “Disciline of the Sacraments”, I would like to refer to the last shloka of 16th chapter in Bhagavadgeetaa. Here, Lord Krishna emphasizes the need to follow proven or established or laid down (in the “sacraments”) disciplines, i.e. the norms, sciences and practices
तस्माच्छास्त्रं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ ।
ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुमिहार्हसि ॥ भगवद्गीता १६-२४॥
By separating words which are phonetically joined together, i.e. by doing सन्धिविग्रह् the shloka would read
तस्मात् शास्त्रं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ ।
ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुम् इह अर्हसि
Now putting it in prose i.e. by अन्वय, the statement becomes
तस्मात् इह कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ ते शास्त्रं प्रमाणम् (एवं) ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुम् अर्हसि ।
Word by word meaning is –
तस्मात् = therefore
इह = here
कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ = in the situation of what to do and what not to do
ते = for you
शास्त्रं = the sciences, (disciplines, proven and established practices)
प्रमाणम् = (become) the norms
(एवं) = thus
ज्ञात्वा = knowing
शास्त्रविधानोक्तं = that which is endorsed or specified by the sciences and practices
कर्म = totality of actions and tasks
कर्तुम् = to be doing
अर्हसि = becomes of you.
From the above, I would recommend the translation of “Discipline of Sacraments” to be शास्त्रविधानोक्तं प्रमाणम्, since it appropriately means the norms specified or endorsed by the sciences and practices.
What is important to note that in this shloka Lord Krishna is recommending not the scriptures but norms established by the sciences and proven practices. This leaves no room for blind or superstitious practices.
In the Shloka previous to this the Lord cautions that those who throw to the winds the sciences and proven practices, driven by their own vested interests as they are, would end up not achieving lasting happiness.
More charming subtlety of this dialogues comes when in the next shloka (which is first shloka of the 17th chapter) Arjuna asks, “what to say of people who are quite devout and sincere and are not necessarily driven by vested interests, but happen to be not abiding by the specified practices, just because they do not know the sciences ?”
These three shlokas 16-23, 16-24 and 17-01 make a very interesting trilogy.
What a scripture Geetaa is!!!

Sadhus demonstrate how there should be oneness in thoughts, words and deeds.
In the case of accomplished seers and sages, even Gods have to take incarnation to enact what thoughts are penned by the sages. There is a belief about the mythology of RaamaayaNa, that Sage Valmiki wrote RaamaayaNa and Lord Vishnu had to reincarnate as Shree Raama to validate Sage Valmiki’s thoughts. So potent and compelling are thoughts emanating from the minds of sages.

Music = संगीतम्
Music is considered to be a part of a stage-play, नाट्यम्
Music is of course an art which would entertain an audience especially by a stage-performance.
Thinking of entertainment by a stage-performance I get reminded of मालविकाग्निमित्रम्, Wikipedia says,
“The play Malvikagnimitram tells the story of the love of King Agnimitra, the Shunga king of Vidisha, for the beautiful hand-maiden of his chief queen. He falls in love with the picture of an exiled servant girl named Mālavikā. When the queen discovers her husband’s passion for this girl, she becomes infuriated and has Mālavikā imprisoned, but as fate would have it, in the end she is discovered to be of royal birth and is accepted as one of his queens.
The play contains an account of the Rajasuya sacrifice performed by Pushyamitra.
Importantly and interestingly, the play also contains an elaborate exposition of a theory on music and acting.”
Mostly, if I remember it right, the opening Shloka in मालविकाग्निमित्रम् is
देवानामिदमामनयन्ति मुनयः कान्तं क्रतुं चाक्षुषम् ।
रुद्रेणेदमुमाकृतव्यतिकरे स्वाङ्गे विभक्तं द्विधा ।
त्रैगुण्योद्भवमत्र लोकचरितं नानारसं दृश्यते ।
नाट्यं भिन्नरुचेर्जनस्य बहुधाप्येकं समाराधनम् ॥
In this Shloka, Kalidasa endorses stage-play to have been initiated by Lord Shiva in conjunction with Goddess Uma and hence eminently has two aspects Laasya (feminine) and TaaNDav (masculine). In the Shloka, Kalidasa underlines the widest appeal of a stage-play to all sorts of people.
Music, dance, acting, stage-design, backdrops, story and the plot, dramatics, poetry, …so many arts together make stage-play a comprehensively entertaining performance, the नाट्यम् Naatyam!!!

Different people would be using different words, since there are synonyms. It is well said in a SubhaaShitam
पिण्डे पिण्डे मतिर्भिन्ना कुण्डे कुण्डे नवं पयः ।

Every person has a different mind, water in every pond is different, every community has different rituals and every tongue has a different speech.
So, you need not feel worried at different answers. Poet Amarsinh compiled in his Amar-kosh some 10,000 Sanskrit words into groups of synonyms and antonyms. His Amar-kosh was possibly the first Thesaurus in any language across the world. For the word Love, he compiled following synonyms –
प्रेमा ना प्रियता हार्दं प्रेम स्नेहोऽथ दोहदम्
Possibly one can add
प्रीतिः सौहार्दम् बन्धुता मित्रता
In the context of “Love yourself” there is a good advice in the sixth chapter in Bhagavadgeetaa, where it is said
उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् ।
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥
one should uplift oneself by oneself; one should not downgrade oneself by oneself. Oneself is one’s own true brother (friend). Oneself can prove to be one’s own enemy also!!
Then
Love yourself = आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुः |
Honor = आदरः । सन्मानः ।

Dear Renata,
To say “Three sisters” we have to use the numerical adjective त्रि
in feminine first case plural.
Hence “three sisters = तिस्रः भगिन्यः । to be read as “tisraH bhaginyaH”
One can also use a compound word भगिनीत्रयम् । (to be read as bhaginee-trayam) meaning a threesome of sisters.
LikeLike
Dear Renata,
To explain feminine first case plural of त्रि, when speaking of “three sisters” if one wants to speak of “three brothers”, it will have to be masculine, first case plural of the numerical adjective त्रि. Then one would say, त्रयः भ्रातरः or त्रयः बान्धवाः |
The rule is that an adjective will have the same gender as of the noun, it qualifies.
By the way when speaking of “three sisters”, at Allahabad there is supposed to be confluence of three rivers, regarded as sisters of each other. At the confluence only two flows of visible, those of Ganges and Yamuna. River Saraswati is supposed to be joining the confluence by a subterranean flow.
Maybe, some Rishi took a dive at the confluence and could sense the gush of a third subterranean flow. Actually, all emanations of rivers are subterranean flows gushing out. So possibility of a subterranean flow gushing out at the confluence cannot be ruled out.
It would not have been necessary for some Rishi to take a dive either. Water-diviners have been practising water-divining even today.

English translation appearing at the Bhavan’s site says, “Let noble thoughts come from across the universe.”
I am convinced that better translation would be “May noble thoughts pervade across the Universe.
The difference is between “come from” and “pervade across”. I am convinced that the Vedas always harboured a philosophy of universal good. So, “pervade across” makes the translation more in tune with the philosophy of the Vedas.

Their attitude of “having no considerations” is mentioned in the following shloka.
श्रीमद्भगवद्गीतायां षोडशे अध्याये आसुरीगुणानां विवेचनं अस्ति । तत्र उक्तमस्ति
प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुरासुराः ।

Ego as the most offensive aspect is mentioned by the word

अहंकारं बलं दर्पं कामं क्रोधं च संश्रिताः ।
मामात्मपरदेहेषु प्रद्विषन्तोऽभ्यसूयकः ॥
Other four aspects of character of viscious people, mentioned in the first line of this shloka are also worth noting.
बलं = rogue strength
दर्पं = offensive pride
कामं = clamour
क्रोधं = anger
Together it gets established that ego knows no considerations.

In an ode to Mother of the whole Universe, the sage Adi-Shankaraachaarya prays, “…जगन्मातर्मातस्तवचरणसेवा न रचिता ।”
Here both मातर् and मातस् are in evidence.
In your search you came across different words. All these words have a common root word, as explained above. The different words you got are because they are different declensions of the same word.

The quotation is not of Yoganand. It is a shloka from the second chapter in Geetaa, maybe 20th shloka in Chapter 2. The English translation might be by Yoganand. The translation is fairly okay. The last sentence can as well be , “He is not slain, even when the body is slain.”
“nor doth (he) dies” does not sound to be correct English grammar. It should be “nor doth (he) die” Doth is already for third person singular. Thverb “die” then should be in its root form.

There would of course be different ways to write “as you think, so you become” I would put it as
यथा विचारयसि तथैव भविष्यसि । to be read as yathaa vichaarayasi tathaiv bhaviShyasi (Please note capital S in the middle of bhaviShyasi)
Your query reminds me of a quotation describing the noteworthy aspect of the character of the gentlemen. It says
मनसि वचसि काये सज्जनामेकरूपता। to be read as manasi vachasi kaaye sajjanaam-ekroopataa, meaning gentlemen are those who have uniformity in what is in their mind, what they speak and what they do.
There is a Subhaashitam “good verse” on this. It is not coming to mind right now. I shall post it again, when I shall get it.
The other part of your query refers to a famous quote.
Lead me from unreal to the real = असतो मा सद्गमय । to be read as asato maa sad-gamaya
असतो = from unreal
मा = me
सद्गमय = सत् + गमय
सत् = (to) real
गमय = (please or pray) lead
Lead me from darkness to light = तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । to be read as tamaso maa jyotir-gamaya
from mortality to immortal = मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय । to be read as mrutyor-maa-amrutam gamaya
Sometimes I have also seen an addition as
अनृतो मा नृतं गमय । to be read as anruto maa nrutam gamaya, meaning Lead me from untruth (falsehood) to truth.
You will appreciate that unreal (imaginary, fictitious) and untruth (falsehood) are not same. So, this addition of अनृतो मा नृतं गमय । makes the prayer more complete!!
om peace, peace, peace ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः । to be read as oum, shaantiH, shaantiH, shaantiH

I would translate “Love is patient, love is kind as सौहार्दं धृतिः सौहार्दं कारुण्यमपि ।
Actually love, patience, kindness are all different virtues, often interdependent, inter-related also. Having love but not having patience does not make the right kind of love. Having love but not being compassionate again does not make right love.
Wholesome LISTs of virtues are found at different places all over Geetaa. For example, first three Shlokas in Chapter 16 make a list of some 25 virtues of human character. These Shlokas and their prose (anwaya) –>
अथ षोडशोऽध्यायः | दैवासुरसम्पद्विभागयोगः | श्रीभगवानुवाच |
अभयं सत्त्वसंशुद्धिर्ज्ञानयोगव्यवस्थितिः |
दानं दमश्च यज्ञश्च स्वाध्यायस्तप आर्जवम् ||१६-१||
अहिंसा सत्यमक्रोधस्त्यागः शान्तिरपैशुनम् |
दया भूतेष्वलोलुप्त्वं मार्दवं हीरचापलम् ||१६-२||
तेजः क्षमा धृतिः शौचमद्रोहो नातिमानिता |
भवन्ति सम्पदं दैवीमभिजातस्य भारत ||१६-३||
अन्वयः – भारत, दैवीं संपदं अभिजातस्य भवन्ति (१) अभयं (२) सत्त्वसंशुद्धिः (३) ज्ञानयोगव्यवस्थितिः (४) दानं (५) दमः (६) यज्ञः (७) स्वाध्यायः (८) तपः (९) आर्जवं (१०) अहिंसा (११) सत्यं (१२) अक्रोधः (१३) त्यागः (१४) शान्तिः (१५) अपैशुनं (१६) भूतेषु दया (१७) अलोलुप्त्वं (१८) मार्दवं (१९) हीरचापलं (२०) तेजः (२१) क्षमा (२२) धृतिः (२३) शौचं (२४) अद्रोहः (२५) नातिमानिता ।
It can also be seen that the third virtue in this list can be deciphered as a compound word, combining three virtues therein, viz. ज्ञान, योग, व्यवस्थितिः |
Then the number of virtues becomes 27!!
There is similar list in Shlokas 7 to 11 in Chapter 13 –>
अमानित्वमदम्भित्वमहिंसा क्षान्तिरार्जवम् |
आचार्योपासनं शौचं स्थैर्यमात्मविनिग्रहः ||१३-७||

अन्वयः – (१) अमानित्वं (२) अदंभित्वं (३) अहिंसा (४) क्षान्तिः (५) आर्जवं (६) आचार्योपासनं (७) शौचं (८) स्थैर्यं (९) आत्मविनिग्रहः (१०) इन्द्रियार्थेषु वैराग्यं (११) अनहंकारः एव (१२) जन्म-मृत्यु-जरा-व्याधि-दुःख-दोष-अनुदर्शनं (१३) पुत्र-दार-गृह-आदिषु असक्तिः अनभिष्वङ्गः (१४) इष्ट-अनिष्ट-उपपत्तिषु नित्यं समचित्तत्वं (१५) मयि अनन्ययोगेन अव्यभिचारिणी च भक्तिः (१६) विविक्त-देश-सेवित्वं (१७) जनसंसदि अरतिः (१८) अध्यात्म-ज्ञान-नित्यत्वं (१९) तत्त्वज्ञानार्थ-दर्शनं एतत् (सर्वं) ज्ञानं यत् अतः अन्यथा (तत्) अज्ञानं इति प्रोक्तम् ।
Here also the 18th virtue (१८) अध्यात्म-ज्ञान-नित्यत्वं can be considered as a compound word combining two virtues.
And there are more lists in Chapter 18 –>
शमो दमस्तपः शौचं क्षान्तिरार्जवमेव च |
ज्ञानं विज्ञानमास्तिक्यं ब्रह्मकर्म स्वभावजम् ||१८-४२||
अन्वयः – शमः दमः तपः शौचं क्षान्तिः आर्जवं ज्ञानं विज्ञानं आस्तिक्यं च स्वभावजं ब्रह्मकर्म ।

अन्वयः – शौर्यं तेजः धृतिः दाक्ष्यं युद्धे अपि च अपलायनं, दानं ईश्वरभावः च स्वभावजं क्षात्रं कर्म ।
कृषिगौरक्ष्यवाणिज्यं वैश्यकर्म स्वभावजम् |

अन्वयः – कृषिगौरक्ष्यवाणिज्यं स्वभावजम् वैश्यकर्म । परिचर्यात्मकं शूद्रस्य कर्म अपि स्वभावजम् ।
The three lists of course have different contexts. But they are lists of human virtues alright. These lists are not exactly identical. Eliminating the duplications, a together list would become a list of some 42 virtues!!
That in short is a summary view of how virtuous, a virtuous person can be!!!
And this becomes an eternally valid reference list for all societies, for all human beings, anytime, anywhere, beyond all sectarian or religious concepts. Geetaa has come to be known as a scripture of Hinduism, maybe because its text is in Sanskrit. An impassion-ate study of Geetaa will bring forth that the philosophy there has universal appeal and is eternally valid.

Another way of saying “Impossible is nothing” is to say “what all cannot be achieved?”
Woven just around this phrase, “what all cannot be achieved?” there is a Subhaashitam, which in fact is an eulogy of knowledge, using the phrase —
किं किं न साधयति |
The complete Subhashitam is
मातेव रक्षति पितेव हिते नियुंक्ते ।
कान्तेव चापि रमयत्यपनीय खेदम् ।
लक्ष्मीं तनोति वितनोति च दिक्षु कीर्तिम् ।
किं किं न साधयति कल्पलतैव विद्या ॥
On the aspect of working against all odds, which is similar to “impossible is nothing” there is another Subhaashitam, which is also an ode to Sun God. it reads –>
रथस्यैकं चक्रं भुजगयमिताः सप्ततुरगाः ।
निरालम्बो मार्गश्चरणरहितः सारथिरपि ।
रविर्गच्छत्येव प्रतिदिनमपारस्य नभसः ।
क्रियासिद्धिः सत्त्वे भवति महतां नोपकरणे ॥
It means –>
His chariot has only one wheel, the serpents serve as leashes for the seven horses, his path is devoid of any support structure, his charioteer is lame. Yet the Sun crosses the infinite sky every day. The fact of the matter is that achievements of great people are by virtue of their own mettle and not dependent on the means available to them.
I know this is not exactly what you are looking for. But, I think these are close enough.

discipline = अनुशासनम् व्यवस्थितिः
faith = श्रद्धा
knowing = ज्ञानम्
In an earlier post I detailed human virtues. The list of virtues in first three shlokas of 16th chapter in Geetaa refers to discipline by the word व्यवस्थितिः
Virtues listed in shlokas 7th to 11th in Chapter 13 have the context of detailing what is to be considered as the most appropriate knowledge or knowing.
Faith i.e. श्रद्धा is also a virtue. But it can also a misguided faith, as we see of the terrorists spreading terror in the name of religion. The 17th chapter of Geetaa having the title श्रद्धात्रयविभागयोगः । i.e. three-fold categorisation of Faith really details the virtuous, medium and misguided faiths सात्त्विकी राजसी तामसी श्रद्धा See the second Shloka –>
श्रीभगवानुवाच |
त्रिविधा भवति श्रद्धा देहिनां सा स्वभावजा |
सात्त्विकी राजसी चैव तामसी चेति तां शृणु ||१७-२||
अन्वयः – श्रीभगवान् उवाच, “देहिनां (या) स्वभावजा श्रद्धा, सा त्रिविधा, सात्त्विकी, राजसी च तामसी इति च भवति । तां शृणु ।
You seem to have put faith (knowing), thinking that faith (knowing) is always virtuous. Unfortunately, the fact is otherwise.
Just as faith श्रद्धा is detailed by its three-fold classification in the seventeenth chapter, even knowing ज्ञानम् is detailed by its three-fold classification in the eighteenth chapter.
सर्वभूतेषु येनैकं भावमव्ययमीक्षते |
अविभक्तं विभक्तेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि सात्त्विकम् ||१८-२०||
अन्वयः (Prose) – येन विभक्तेषु सर्वभूतेषु एकं अव्ययं अविभक्तं भावं ईक्षते तत् ज्ञानं सात्त्विकम् विद्धि ।
पृथक्त्वेन तु यज्ज्ञानं नानाभावान्पृथग्विधान् |
वेत्ति सर्वेषु भूतेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि राजसम् ||१८-२१||
अन्वयः (Prose) – यत् तु ज्ञानं सर्वेषु भूतेषु, पृथक्त्वेन, नानाभावान् पृथग्विधान् वेत्ति, तत् ज्ञानं राजसं विद्धि ।
यत्तु कृत्स्नवदेकस्मिन्कार्ये सक्तमहैतुकम् |
अतत्त्वार्थवदल्पं च तत्तामसमुदाहृतम् ||१८-२२||
अन्वयः (Prose) – यत् तु अतत्त्वार्थवत् अहैतुकं अल्पं च एकस्मिन् कार्ये कृत्स्नवत् सक्तं तत् तामसं उदाहृतम् ।
In Geetaa one finds almost every other aspect of human life so scientifically, so analytically detailed. It is not a scripture ust for Hindus. It is eternally valid guidance for anybody, anywhere, anytime, guidance on how to conduct one’s life, how to face problems, how to understand interpersonal relationships and almost everything man will need for guidance.

Shortest statement would be to say that all emotions and temperaments that occur to human mind are from Me only. When one says “all” temperaments and emotions, they need not be detailed.
So, in Sanskrit, the shortest statement would be
भूतानां सर्वे भावाः मत्तः एव । to be read as “bhootaanaam sarve bhaavaaH mattaH eva”
Just to put forth some loud thinking on the grammar of the word “मत्तः”
This seems to be a poetically composed word, rather than a grammatically composed one.
Its derivation is मत्तः = मत् + तः
Here मत् stands for Me
तः is the suffix to denote the ablative case
Actually, मत् is itself ablative case declension of the pronoun अस्मद् |
By additionally using the suffix तः the ablative case is made more emphatic.
And the ending indeclinable “eva” makes it all the most emphatic!!
Who else but HE can be so emphatic ?

To my mind the most appropriate word for perseverance would be धृतिः to be read as dhrutiH.
The meaning of the word धृतिः encompasses, resoluteness, unflinching steadfastness, unwavering dedicated application of mind and might together. That is what perseverance also is.
धृतिः or perseverance can be virtuous, mediocre or vicious. Robbers cannot loot a bank, unless they persevere in their plan. That is vicious धृतिः All three categories of धृतिः are acknowledged and detailed in following three Shloka’s in Geetaa.
धृत्या यया धारयते मनःप्राणेन्द्रियक्रियाः |
योगेनाव्यभिचारिण्या धृतिः सा पार्थ सात्त्विकी ||१८-३३||
अन्वयः – यया अव्यभिचारिण्या धृत्या मनःप्राणेन्द्रियक्रियाः योगेन धारयते, सा, पार्थ, सात्त्विकी ।
यया तु धर्मकामार्थान्धृत्या धारयतेऽर्जुन |
प्रसङ्गेन फलाकाङ्क्षी धृतिः सा पार्थ राजसी ||१८-३४||
अन्वयः – यया धृत्या तु, अर्जुन, धर्मकामार्थान् धारयते, (या) प्रसङ्गेन फलाकाङ्क्षी, सा धृतिः, पार्थ, राजसी ।
यया स्वप्नं भयं शोकं विषादं मदमेव च |
न विमुञ्चति दुर्मेधा धृतिः सा पार्थ तामसी ||१८-३५||
अन्वयः – यया (धृत्या) स्वप्नं भयं शोकं विषादं मदं च न विमुञ्चति एव, सा दुर्मेधा धृतिः, पार्थ, तामसी ।
Usually, one would think of the quality of perseverance as a virtue. But Geetaa is so analytical and conceptually clear, that there would be qualitative difference between perseverance of a thief and perseverance of a student and perseverance of a devotee in his devotion.
Qualitative differences in the results of Actions or of Karma’s are acknowledged to be of three types, very clearly in the following Shloka.
अनिष्टमिष्टं मिश्रं च त्रिविधं कर्मणः फलम् |
भवत्यत्यागिनां प्रेत्य न तु संन्यासिनां क्वचित् ||१८-१२||
अन्वयः – कर्मणः फलं, अनिष्टं इष्टं मिश्रं (इति एवं) त्रिविधं अत्यागिनां प्रेत्य भवति । संन्यासिनां (प्रेत्य) तु क्वचित् फलं न (भवति) ।
Whether particular characteristics is virtuous or not will depend on the end-result. But this itself is valid only for the commoners. For a true Sanyasi, who does any Karma totally unconcerned, not at all gainfully interested, it does not matter what the result of any Karma would be. But he would not shy away from whatever Karma presents itself to him. He does not go around scouting, “I want to do this, I want to do that”. Karma presents itself to him. Actually Karma presents itself to all of us, every moment of life. Karma had presented itself to Arjun, the Karma of fighting the battle. But Arjun got confused whether he should really be executing it. That became the reason for the whole of Geetaa.
When one starts going into depths of the philosophical thoughts in Geetaa, they start becoming challenging to understand with full comprehension. Even if understood, they start becoming challenging to digest. Even if digested, they start becoming challenging to practice, every moment of one’s life. Why should philosophy, the Truth, for one moment be different from that for another moment?
There can be no denying that the philosophy is eternally valid. That philosophy is the ultimate Truth, the ultimate saviour for anybody, anytime, anywhere.

Mr. Himanshu Pota has been suggesting that because this forum is for “learning Sanskrit” people should attempt writing as much as possible in Sanskrit. So, I am attempting to post my response in Sanskrit. Yet I am giving thereunder in English also what I am wanting to say in Sanskrit
भवता पृष्टस्य वाक्यस्य सामान्यं भाषान्तरं “मनः माया” एवं भवेत् ।
परन्तु पातञ्जलीमहाभागैः रचितेषु योगसूत्रेषु प्रथमं सूत्रमस्ति “योगः चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः”। अत्र यः “चित्तवृत्ति” इति शब्दः प्रयोजितः अस्ति, सः “मनः” इति सामान्यतः प्रचलितात् शब्दात् अर्थस्पष्टतया योग्यतरः भावयति । ततः “चित्तवृत्ति”-शब्दस्य प्रयोगेण भाषान्तरं भवति “चित्तवृत्तिः माया ।”
यदा चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः न क्रियते, तदैव चित्तवृत्तिः माया भवति । यदा चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः क्रियते, तदेव योगः । चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधस्य प्रशिक्षणमेव योगाभ्यासः ।
Commonplace translation of the sentence as asked by you i.e. “The mind is maya” would be “मनः माया”.
However, in the first Sootra among YogasUtraaNi by Sage Paatanjalee is “योगः चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः |” Here instead of the commonplace word “mind” the word used is “चित्तवृत्ति”, i.e. mental tendencies, temptations, aberrations, etc. Thus this word “चित्तवृत्ति” has clearer meaning than what is conveyed by मनः the commonplace word for “mind”. So it appeals to be the better word. By using this word, the translation would be “चित्तवृत्तिः माया ।”
Actually as per the Sootra, when one would not be eercising control over mental tendencies, temptations, aberrations, etc., then that is Maayaa. When one exercises control over these, that is Yoga. Learning Yoga is learning how to acquire the capability to exercise control over the mental tendencies, temptations, aberrations, etc.

I wish to offer some editing of the response just now posted by myself only. Where I wrote “चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधस्य प्रशिक्षणमेव योगाभ्यासः ।” I should have written “चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधस्य अभ्यसनमेव योगाभ्यासः ।” There is of course a great difference between प्रशिक्षणम् .e. “training or learning” and अभ्यसनम् or अभ्यासः i.e. “studying and practising”. Training is imparted by a teacher. Studying and practising is to be pursued after training and learning. What use will be training and learning if studying and practising are not done thereafter? So, it becomes more proper to say, “चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधस्य अभ्यसनमेव योगाभ्यासः ।”

Dear Matteo and Elena,
It is always a pleasure to interact with people so keenly interested in understanding Sanskrit. I am impressed that people around the world study Sanskrit and Indian culture and philosophy, writings of Gandhiji, etc. so keenly.
Phrase of Gandhiji: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” can be translated as
जीव यथा श्वः एव मरणं निहितम् ।
विद्यार्जनं कुरु यथा अमरत्वेन जीवसि ।
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. = जीव यथा श्वः एव मरणं निहितम् । to be read as “jeeva yathaa shvaH eva maraNam nihitam”
Learn as if you were to live forever. = विद्यार्जनं कुरु यथा अमरत्वेन जीवसि । to be read as “vidyaarjanam kuru yathaa amaratvena jeevasi”
There is some poetic rhyming in the way phrases of Gandhiji are read in English. I wish I could put Sanskrit translation also as poetically.
However what Gandhiji said is possibly an extension from two famous quotations in Sanskrit.
गृहीत इव केशेषु मृत्युना धर्ममाचरेत् । = (to be read as “gruheeta iva kesheShu mrutyunaa dharmamaacharet”) Abide by good conduct, as if the DEATH is holding you by the tufts of your hair. The advice is to conduct ourselves with good conduct every moment of our life, so that we should never have the anxiety that death should not catch up with us when we are not in good conduct. No one, whichever the religion, would like to die in a sinful moment, right? What Gandhiji is telling about today and tomorrow, this quotation advises the same thing, this moment and the next, i.e. for every moment of life.
Another quotation, rather a “subhaashitam” सुभाषितम् “Good Saying” is
क्षणशः कणशश्चैव विद्यामर्थं च साधयेत् ।
क्षणत्यागे कुतो विद्या कणत्यागे कुतो धनम् ॥
(to be read as
“kShaNashaH kaNashashchaiva vidyaamartham cha saadhayet |
kShanatyaage kuto vidyaa kaNatyaage kuto dhanam ||”)
It means wealth and knowledge should be acquired by every moment and by every grain, i.e. by being alert not to waste any moment and not to waste any grain. How can one get knowledge if moment is lost? Every moment is an opportunity for knowledge. Moment lost is lost. No one can get the lost moment anytime later. Likewise if a grain is wasted, it is wealth wasted.
It is possibly this aspect of Indian culture that “use and throw” culture will be very difficult for Indians. “Use and throw” is an extreme of consumerism, which is not going to do good for the world. In Hinduism we have 330 million Gods. It simply means, we recognise existence of Godhood in everything. We respect that Godhood in everything. It should be painful and sinful to disresepct and throw away callously, what has Godhood in it. If God is omnipresent, is there anything in the world, which does not have Godhood in it?
In India we have people, for whom rag-picking is a means of livelihood. Maybe, it is not a respectful way of earning a living. However they earn their living, from what has been thrown away by others. And there are people, who do a business in scrap. The rag-pickers and the scrap-dealers are an important link in the recycling chain. They are also possibly the best examples of people who practise कणत्यागे कुतो धनम् ? How can one acquire wealth, if one is not respectful for every grain?
By the way, your names Matteo and Elena would be written in Devanagari as मत्तेओ and एलेना. Sanskrit is the language. Devanagari is the name of the script, in which Sanskrit is written. Devanagari script is used by other languages also, mainly for languages Hindi and Marathi, apart from Sanskrit.

Garuda Pannchshila = गरुड पंचशील
The word Panchshila coming from a person from Indonesia brings to mind the Bandung conference held sometime in 1960 or so at Bandung in Indonesia. It was a conference of political leaders of many countries. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who was then Prime Minister of India and Mr. Chou En Lai then Premier of China were participants at the conference. The joint declaration was an agreement on five principles “Panchshila” of International co-operation and co-existence.
In 1961 Chou En Lai visited India on invitation from India. And behind the curtain of such outwardly warmth, in 1962, China not only grabbed Tibet but also invaded India. Even today, quite some Indian territory is occupied by China and is a matter of “negotiation”?! Can Indians ever take Chinese as trustworthy neighbours? Panchshil in 1960 and aggression in 1962?! One totally sympathises also with peace-loving Tibetans and also of course respects the Dalai Lama.
By the way, Mr. Surya, what is the relationship between Garuda and Panchshil? Is there any Panchshil accredited to Garuda?
In Hindu mythology, Garuda, the eagle, also known as Vainateya is regarded as the king of all birds. See वैनतेयश्च पक्षिणाम् ||१०-३०|| Shloka 10-30 in the tenth chapter in Geetaa.
Garuda is also regarded as one of the door-keepers at the gate of the heavenly abode, the palace of Lord Indra.

Actually to edit those words fearlessness and ruthlessness would be more correct than the former.
LikeLike
Fearlessness = अभयम् or निर्भयता to be read as “abhayam” and nirbhayataa
Ruthlessness = निर्दयता to be read as nirbhayataa
The prefix निः or निर् (and also the prefix अ) is for negativity or makes an antonym, same as the meaning of “less-” in the words Fear-less-ness and Ruth-less-ness.
The suffix “taa” ता at the end of a word makes a qualitative noun, similar to the suffix “ness” in English
The word निर्भयता is derived from भयम् = fear
The word निर्दयता is derived from दया = quality of being kind or considerate.

Be the change = (तत्) परिवर्तनं भव ।
Here, the article ‘the’ has its own importance. I would rather use the article ‘that’ instead of ‘the’. Hence the word तत् should also be included in a more complete translation. Otherwise, परिवर्तनं भव । is also an adequate translation of “be the change”.
Actually for “be the change” to be a stand alone part it can as well be translated as परिवृत्तो भव । Here, परिवृत्तः is masculine first case singular of the past passive participle of the verb परि + वृ. As past passive participle, the meaning of परिवृत्तः becomes “changed”. And “परिवृत्तो भव ।” would mean “Be changed”. Note, “परिवृत्तो भव” is from “परिवृत्तः + भव |” by rules of conjugation सन्धिनियमेन |

Saint Dnyaaneshwar, 700 years ago, saw ॐ when turned 90 degrees anticlockwise to be representing Lord Ganesh!! He coined a Shloka in Marathi, in Abhang meter, and this Shloka is in the introductory portion of his Bhaavaartha-deepikaa, or commentary on the Geetaa. The complete Shloka is
अकार चरणयुगुळ । उकार उदर विशाळ । मकार महामंडळ । मस्तकाकारें ॥
On turning 90 degrees anticlockwise, saint Dnyaaneshwar saw the अकार portion of the ॐ as representing the legs and the feet of Lord Ganesh in His squatted position, the उकार portion of ॐ as representing the belly of Lord Ganesh and the मकार portion of ॐ as representing the head of Lord Ganesh. That makes ॐ as representing Lord Ganesh completely from head to toe!!
I can’t understand why someone should then think that turning ॐ through 90 degrees anticlockwise would reverse or perverse its meaning. On the contrary, Saint Dnyaaneshwar saw, that, on turning that way, ॐ represents Lord Ganesh himself!!

The 4th verse in Chapter 10 in Gita is
बुद्धिर्ज्ञानमसंमोहः क्षमा सत्यं दमः शमः ।

अहिंसा समता तुष्टिस्तपो दानं यशोSयशः ।
भवन्ति भावा भूतानां मत्त एव पृथग्विधाः ॥ ५ ॥
अन्वय – बुद्धिः ज्ञानं असंमोहः क्षमा सत्यं दमः शमः सुखं दुःखं भवः अभावः भयं अभयं च अहिंसा समता तुष्टिः तपः दानं यशः अयशः (एवं) भूतानां पृथग्विधाः भावाः मत्तः एव भवन्ति ।
Of these the words closest to the meaning of “suppression” are either दमः or शमः |
The word शमः is often used in the context of extinguishing for example अग्निशमनम् means extinguishing fire.
Likewise, the word दमः is often seen quoted in the context of quelling a challenge as in अरिदमन (meaning subduing an enemy)
While both शमः and दमः have a meaning close to the meaning of suppression, you will appreciate that there is that fine difference in their meanings. By this discretion one would not say अग्निदमन nor one would say अरिशमन.
You will hence appreciate that context always becomes important to decide which word is appropriate.
Even when saying all this, may I also add something further and interesting about these words.
These words are also found again in the 42nd verse in the 18th chapter
शमो दमस्तपः शौचं क्षान्तिरार्जवमेव च |
ज्ञानं विज्ञानमास्तिक्यं ब्रह्मकर्म स्वभावजम् ||१८-४२||
अन्वयः – शमः दमः तपः शौचं क्षान्तिः आर्जवं ज्ञानं विज्ञानं आस्तिक्यं च स्वभावजं ब्रह्मकर्म ।
Once I was anxious to find a summary list of Supervisory or Managerial functions. And I landed at this verse. I was thrilled to find this verse does that exactly, summarising all the Supervisory o Managerial functions, in one shot. Then also I wanted to understand the finesse of difference in the meanings of these two words. It has been very clear in my mind that in Gita in particular, no meaningful word is used superfluously. So, I needed to know why शमः and दमः are used independently and in succession. I looked into the dictionary for the meaning of शमः I then realised that it is derived from the word शम् which means peace. Then I could decipher that Lord Shiv is also called as Shankar, because in the universal scheme of things Shiva or Shankar is assigned the job of ensuring peace. शं करोति इति शंकरः !! For a supervisor or a manager also, it is important that the work-environment is peaceful. Peaceful environment means environment of positive potentials. Supervisor or manager has to get positive results. One cannot expect positive results in a negative environment. To ensure positive environment thus becomes an important supervisory or managerial function. Every supervisor or manager has to be a Shankar शंकरः !!
But, in the enthusiasm of wanting a positive environment, the enthusiasm must not be allowed to go out of control. To retain command or control to regulate is then दमः Regulating does not mean suppression, you will agree. Indian ladies wear sari. Every sari has a pallu or daaman दामन. The purpose of दामन is to give adequate cover to the breasts, to save her from otherwise glances of people around. So दामन serves the purpose of regulating social behaviour for the lady and the people around. The word दामन is very obviously derived from दमः
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to present what I have studied of these words शमः and दमः Seemingly their meaning appears to be quite close to the meaning of suppression. But to interpret them as suppression is to me a very poor interpretation.

I would not consider the phrase as being wrong. The phrase is a part of the sentence which spreads over 2 verses, the fourth and fifth in Chapter 10. Only point is that the qualities detailed in the second line of verse 4 are sets of positive and negative qualities. For example सुखं दुःखं = pleasure and sorrow भवोSभावो existence and non-existence भयं चाभयमेव fearing and fearlessness. So there are 3 pairs of opposites. The qualities in the first line are stand-alones. Also, the qualities in the first line are more action-related. Those in the second line are feelings.
Well, for comprehension of just these 2 verses, there can be a long commentary from the metaphysical perspective. That should be out of scope of this forum. The focus of this forum is “learn Sanskrit”. Let us respect that.

“Protect me from the evil eye and keep my heart pure”

Verbatim translation of “Protect me from the evil eye and keep my heart pure” would be —
“Protect me from the evil eye” = दुर्दृष्ट्याः मां रक्ष ।
“keep my heart pure” = मम हृदयं पुनीतं भवेत् ।
I am presenting the translations in two parts, for a reason. In this phrase, “Protect me from the evil eye and keep my heart pure”, the first part “Protect me from the evil eye” seeks protection from an external influence and “keep my heart pure” speaks of quality of internal environment.
Protection from an external evil influence will need divine intervention. But quality of internal environment has to be cultivated by one’s own effort. This also would need His grace. But that would be only His grace, not an intervention.
The best and well-known prayer which combines these very well is तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । असतो मा सद्गमय । मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय ।
Here, तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । असतो मा सद्गमय । are for quality of internal environment. मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय । is for protection from external evil influences.
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । = Lead me from darkness to light
असतो मा सद्गमय । = Lead me from myths to truths
मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय । = Lead from death to eternity.
All these three translations can be expounded further. For example, darkness can be ignorance, unintelligence, untoward thoughts and feelings, etc., etc.
मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय । = Lead from death to eternity. This can also be interpreted as Let my focus be from perishables to ever-lasting truths.
I think it is better to understand already well-composed prayers than try to compose a fresh phrase and work out a translation.
Prayers which are already well-composed are called as मन्त्राः | the mantra’s. They are mantra’s, because they provoke thinking and deliberation and an urge to imbibe the spirit of the inbuilt thoughts into our conduct. Mantra’s cause this because of the richness of the meaning implicit in the phrases, howsoever crisp, the statement may sound to be.

I would think that human life is the only chance for exercising discretion. Other creatures are not possibly blessed with as much comprehensive mental ability of discretion at what one should do and what one should not do. Other creatures are driven by instincts. Yet some instincts become characters in some animals, e.g. loyalty is a natural character of dogs, although their responses from moment to moment of their life would be only instinctive.
All in all, I would love to put the phrase “one life, one chance” into another perspective to say, “Human life is the only chance for exercising discretions” and would translate this as मानवजन्म एका एव सन्धिः विवेकाय ।

“I am human” = अहं मनुजः अस्मि । = अहं मनुजोऽस्मि । (masculine) or अहं मनुजा अस्मि । अहं मनुजास्मि । (feminine) But the word मनुजः is most commony used in its masculine form.
Actually “human” is an adjective. मनुजः is a common noun. It has synonyms मानवः or मनुष्यः They all would mean human being. I am struggling to work out how the translation can be in the adjectival form.
Again, although the three words मनुजः मानवः मनुष्यः are synonyms, in usage, they are used with subtle distinctions of contexts. मनुजः is used in a more affectionate context, as is implicit in the phrase, “I am human”. मानवः is used in a generic context. For example, human race = मानवजातिः मनुष्यः is also used in a generic context. But there is a difference. For example, Indian horoscopes detail the traits of character of a person as Godly, human or devilish, देवगणः मनुष्यगणः राक्षसगणः
All the three words मनुजः मानवः मनुष्यः are derived from the root word मनुः | All human beings मानवाः are descendants of the first human मनुः (maybe, the concept is similar to the concept of Adam) But the mythology recognises 14 Manu’s. The contemporary human race is said to be the descendants of the seventh Manu, the Vaivaswat Manu. Possiibly what reads as mythology is a theory of evolution, far more comprehensive than what was propounded by Darwin. In an earlier post I had detailed the mythology of दशावताराः the ten incarnations, which is virtually a theory of evolution of life, not just of evolution of human race.
“…look to this one day” = अद्यदिवसमेव विचारय ।
for it and it alone is life” = यतः जीवनम् अनुदिनम् एव जीवितव्यम् ।
Here simple translation of “life” is जीवनम् But I presume that what is implicit in “it and it alone is life” is that what is to be lived. This implication is better put by the word जीवितव्यम्
अनुदिनम् = day by day
So, the translation is composed as यतः जीवनम् अनुदिनम् एव जीवितव्यम् । to convey the emaning “Because, life is to be lived day by day.

Hallo Avyankar ji, Why do you struggle to find adjective Human for translating “I am human”. Please see that in this sentence ‘human’ is adjective of ‘I’. Similarly अहं मानवः is correct and here मानवः is the adjective of अहं | As per rule of Grammar मानवः has followed gender, declension and number of अहं (here it is 1st person, masculine gender and single number) | In case the adjective e.g मनुष्यः is नियत लिङ्ग विषेशण it will not change its gender irrespective of the gender of the speaker.

@ sudipta,s comment of 28 November 2011.
Joanna’s query sought translation of “I am human.” To me अहं मानवः does not become adequate translation. In saying “I am human”, possibly it also implies “I am humane, not barbaric”. अहं मानवः does not bring out that meaning of humane character.
There is another shade of meaning of “I am human”. Possibly it also implies, “I am human, I am not God. … To err is human.” अहं मानवः will not bring out this shade of meaning either.
I hope, now you understand the difficulty. Actually translations from one language to another should not be word by word or sentence by sentence. All translations should fit the total context of the sentence. “I am human” cannot be translated adequately, unless the context is known – whether the context is of humane character or of fallibility of being human, not God.

bhaga = भग Apte’s dictionary gives 18 different meanings of the word भग One meaning is splendour
The word bhagawan भगवान् is derived by a suffix (प्रत्ययः ) “vat” वत् attached to the word भग So it becomes भग+वत् = भगवत्
The declension भगवान् is masculine first case singular. Hence भगवान्
means splendorous.
If you intended the pronunciation to be bhaaga = भाग, this word has the meaning “destiny” or providence or luck or one’s share.
One is often left wondering how one should spell a word in English. A different spelling would connote different pronunciation and it would become a different word in Sanskrit.

(६) भग = भक्त. “भञ्ज्” किंवा “भज्” ह्या धातूंपासून तयार झालेले नाम. भक्त हें खरं तर, ह्या दोन्ही धातूंचें कर्मणि भूतकालवाचक धातुसाधित विशेषण. शब्दाची जात म्हणून “भक्त” हें विशेषण असलें, तरी त्याचा नाम म्हणून वापर रूढ झाला आहे. ज्याचे भक्त असतात, जो भक्ति घडवितो, तो भगवान्.
(७) भग = तेज, आभा. म्हणून भगवान् म्हणजे तेजःपुंज. जो तेजोमय आहे, ज्याच्याभोवती तेजोवलय आहे तो भगवान्.
भग = व्रण हा अर्थ चांगला नाही म्हणून रजनीश प्रथम आचार्य होते, नंतर भगवान् झाले, मग ओशो झाले !!

For each of the words, “two”, “both”, “together”, balance” there would be a number of synonyms. Which translating synonym would make the best fit would depend upon the context. So, one needs to know the context before attempting a translation.

Yours is still a challenging question. I checked for translations of “balance” and “harmony” independently at the translator link, I mentioned earlier and got the following synonyms.
harmony = सन्धि संवादिता संपद् संमति अविरोध सहचार ऐक्य
balanced = सन्तुलित
I think the best answer for what you are looking for is available in the second chapter in Shreemad-Bhagavad-geetaa, where Arjun asks “What are the characteristics of a person with a balanced, steadfast and yet alert mind?” The word used there is स्थितप्रज्ञ: = a person with a balanced, steadfast and yet alert mind or स्थितप्रज्ञता = characteristics of the mind when it is balanced, steadfast and alert. ShreekriShNa details a very long answer spread over 18 verses from verse #55 to #72.
If you will study these verses, I guess you have all the answer there. By that you will appreciate that स्थितप्रज्ञता sthitapraj~jataa should be the word for you. If you type this spelling sthitapraj~jataa in BARAHA Pad, you will get the result in devanaagaree.

In the rituals of Hindu marriage one most important ritual is of “saptapadee”. The couple takes seven rounds around the sacred fire, subscribing their allegiance to seven vows.
What translation you are looking for is substantially in tune with the seven vows. You will appreciate the following details.
With the first step , the couple invokes the Gods for plentitude of food.
With the second step , the couple prays to the Gods to give them both mental and physical strength and a healthy life free from ailments.
The third step is for the fulfilment of spiritual obligation for the couple and for the successful performance of their spiritual duties.
The fourth step is for the attainment of happiness in all walks of life.
The fifth step is to pray for the welfare of all living entities in the entire Universe.
The sixth step is for bountiful seasons all over the world.
The seventh step is taken invoking the prayer and sacrifice for universal peace.
On taking these seven steps together, the couple agrees to be companions forever and pray that they never have any conflicts so as to break this companionship. Having sought each other out to be life partners, they agree to lead a harmonious life taking into consideration not only each other’s likes and dislikes, but also keeping in mind the good of the entire family. They pray for their unity, prosperity and happiness.
The ideals behind the Saptapadi acquire more significance from the fact that the married couple pray not only for their own welfare but also for the health and prosperity of all living beings and the entire Universe.

I am not a poet, definitely not capable of composing a verse in Sanskrit. But your question provides me a prompt to compose a verse of two lines !!
भूतकालो तु शरीरे मे भवति क्षणशः समाहितः
भविष्यं पश्यतः मे नयने जीवामि वर्तमानं सदा ।
What I have attempted is to say –
भूतकालो तु शरीरे मे भवति क्षणशः समाहितः = Past gets stored in my body every moment (means by every moment passing)
भविष्यं पश्यतः मे नयने my (two) eyes see the future
जीवामि वर्तमानं सदा । But what I live always is the Present.
Such in fact is the definition of Karma, as stated in the 8th chapter of Gita. The statement in the second line of the third verse is – भूतभावोद्भवकरो विसर्गः कर्मसंज्ञितः ||
Here, कर्मसंज्ञितः = is defined as Karma
विसर्गः = happening
भूतभावोद्भवकर: = (emanating from) the past, (having manifestation in) the Present, (being also the genesis of) the future.
Overall meaning becomes, “Every happening, as it emanates from the Past, manifests itself in the Present and becomes automatically the genesis of the Future, is defined as Karma.” Extended meaning becomes that our Present Karma has resulted from our own Past actions. Our Future is, in like manner is going to emerge only from our Present actions. Karma is thus an infinite chain reaction!
Once when I was searching for exact definition of Karma, I landed upon this verse as precisely defining Karma. You may not find this verse so interpreted by all commentators. But since Gita does not hold any bar on one indulging in one’s own interpretation, I have dared to derive my own interpretation. I hope that this will appeal to you also.

May you work like you don’t need the money = कर्मं कुरु यथा न काचिदर्थतृष्णा ।
Love like you’ve never been hurt = स्नेहं कुरु यथा न कदापि ऋक्णः ।
Dance like no one is watching = नर्तनं कुरु यथा न केनापि दृष्टः ।
Together
कर्मं कुरु यथा न काचिदर्थतृष्णा । स्नेहं कुरु यथा न कदापि ऋक्णः । नर्तनं कुरु यथा न केनापि दृष्टः ।
Since you are a female, you would write
कर्मं कुरु यथा न काचिदर्थतृष्णा । स्नेहं कुरु यथा न कदापि ऋक्णा । नर्तनं कुरु यथा न केनापि दृष्टा ।
Note ऋक्णा instead of ऋक्णः and दृष्टा instead of दृष्ट:
To be read as

I would like to know the Sanskrit symbols for the word Sarva. I know that it means “whole” or “complete”. but I would like to have the actual Sanskrit text of the word for a design I am doing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

sarva = सर्व
You have said, “I know that it means “whole” or “complete”…” Its more appropriate meaning is “all”.
सर्व is a numeral adjective of indefinite number. Being an adjective it has declensions by genders (masculine, feminine and neuter), by numbers (singular, dual and plural) and by cases (nominative, accusative, agent, dative, … etc.)
One finds सर्व as सर्वम् in the first mantra of Ishaavaasya upanishad. ईशावास्यमिदं सर्वम् ….
The word meaning “whole” or “complete” is पूर्णम् This is found in the opening shaanti-mantra of Ishaavaasya, which reads
ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम् पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते । पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥
My idea is to make clear, the distinction between सर्वम् and पूर्णम् so that you can choose the one which fits best for what thought you have in mind.

Hello,

From ignorance, lead me to truth;

On the whole it is fine. But in the first line, since सत् and असत् are antonyms of each other, as antonym of “truth”, instead of “ignorance” one may use “untruth” or “falsehood”.

I have attempted following

for “When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall”
This actually reminds me of Shloka 14-10 in Shreemad-Bhagawad-geetaa. It reads
रजस्तमश्चाभिभूय सत्त्वं भवति भारत ।
रजः सत्त्वं तमश्चैव तमः सत्त्वं रजस्तथा ॥
The meaning is – Sattva (nicety) prevails when it can supersede Rajas (mediocrity) and Tamas (lowliness). Mediocrity prevails by superseding lowliness and nicety. (Likewise) lowliness prevails by superseding mediocrity and nicety.
I also attempt
चिन्तां कृत्वा समाधानं समास्यायै न लभ्यते ।
नास्त्यैव हि समाधानं चिन्तया तु किं पुनः ।
for “If a problem has a solution there is no need to worry about it. If there is no answer for the problem, worry will do no good.”
Finally, as you have mentioned, there is already the famous SubhaaShitam
अजरामरवत्प्राज्ञः विद्यामर्थं च साधयेत् ।
गृहीत इव केशेषु मृत्युना धर्ममाचरेत् ॥
for “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever” In the subhaaShitam, the sequence is other way round.
I will have to search if there are already subhaaShtaani to explain the first two. For the present I made my own attempts.

कस्यान्यन्तं सुखमुपनतं दुःखमेकान्ततो वा ।

What I had given earlier was more or less a word-to-word translation. What I have given now is a famous subhaaShitam, which has some poetry in it.
Sanskrit syntax of the subhaaShitam is –

It becomes wise to pursue acquiring knowledge and wealth, as if one is going to have a healthy, unending life (i.e. “as if one is going to be without any afflictions and is going to live immortal.)
मृत्युना केशेषु गृहीतः इव धर्मं आचरेत्
One should conduct oneself righteously, as if the dealth is holding you by the tuft of your hair.
I think I had quoted the second line गृहीत इव केशेषु मृत्युना धर्ममाचरेत् last time also. Maybe, I could not recollect the first line अजरामरवत्प्राज्ञः विद्यामर्थं च साधयेत् । on the previous occasion.

What you seem to be conveying is “God helps him who helps himself”. This has been advised with deep meaning in the following verses (Nos. 5 and 6) in the sixth chapter in Bhagavad-geetaa.
उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानम् नात्मानमवसादयेत् |
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुर् आत्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ||६-५||
बन्धुरात्मात्मनस्तस्य येनात्मैवात्मना जितः |
अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत् ||६-६||
उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानम् = one should uplift oneself by oneself
नात्मानमवसादयेत् = one should not degrade oneself by one’s own doing
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धु: = One is one’s own brother
आत्मैव रिपुरात्मनः = one can be one’s own enemy
बन्धुरात्मात्मनस्तस्य = for him is one’s self one’s brother
येनात्मैवात्मना जितः = who has conquered one’s self by oneself
अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे = if one’s soul is seen to be oneself’s enemy
वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत् = one should treat the soul as one treats one’s enemy.
You would find quite some jugglery in the use of phrases as “one’s self” and “oneself”. But what is summarised here is philosophy of the soul. This philosophy of course demands searching for the in-depth meaning. This searching has to be done of course by oneself. Maybe, the exploration would become simpler if one is fortunate to have a Guru, who can guide. But a spiritual Guru would put his disciple through quite some challenging tests. But the path of spiritual awakening is never simple.

I have tried to put it into some rhyme.
स एव मे ज्ञानप्रकाशदाता ।
मम मोक्षदाता स एव अस्ति ॥
You can also think of some prayer, which invokes the Lord to be the guide. One such famous prayer is
असतो मा सद्गमय । तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय ॥
This precisely means what you have in mind.
असतो मा सद्गमय । = Lead me from untruth to truth
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय । = Lead me from darkness to light
मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय = Lead me from perishable to eternal.
You may find the last portion translated as “Lead me from death to immortality.” Just when writing this note, extempore it occurs to me that “death” happens for those who or which are perishable. Immortality is the characteristics of the eternal concepts.
What is perishable, is untrue. What is true, is true anytime, eternally true. How wisely the last one leads back to the first one. And in turn connects back to the second one. Lead me to light, to the light of such knowledge. Lack of this or such knowledge is darkness.
How beautifully the three parts can reverberate into a cyclic meaning, from one to another, from the last one to the first one, again from first to second and on and on..!
To come out of this cycle, you have to conclude the prayer by saying
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः । = Om, Peace, Peace, Peace !!
So, the complete prayer becomes
असतो मा सद्गमय |
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय |
मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय |
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ||
ॐ ameen Amen !!

If not for decorative purposes, as a rule, Sanskrit has to be written horizontally from left to right.
In Devanagari script used for Sanskrit, Consonants hang down from a horizontal line.
This is contrary to English, where letters stand above a reference line, except for g, j, p, q and y, which have some stroke extending below the reference line.
Some vowel-marks which suffix a consonant, have strokes below the letter, some strokes above the reference line. So it becomes a three-track writing –
(1) one track hanging down from the reference line,
(2) another track above the reference line, mainly for vowel-marks
(2a) for vowel sound of i as in hit,
(2b) for vowel sound of ee as in bee,
(2c) for vowel sound of e as in bet,
(2d) for vowel sound of aa + e (I guess there is no English word with this vowel sound, though word ‘bite’ may come close to it)
(2e) for vowel sound of oa as boat
(2f) for vowel sound of ou as in bout
(2g) for a dot above the line for the nasal sound of m as in gum or of n as in gun
(3) third track below track (1) for vowel-marks
(3a) for vowel sound of oo as in good
(3b) for vowel sound of oo as in fool
You can see, that vowel-marks for vowel-sounds of oo as in good and oo as in fool are very distinct in Devanagari. That is how the script has a well-defined phonetic structure. You write it properly, then for sure, you will pronounce it properly. You do not have to learn and remember the spellings separately.
I keep wondering why the Chinese and Japanese ever thought of writing vertically down!! Fortunately they also have changed to better logic.
You can write Devanagari also vertically down, because every letter is inherently stand alone. But writing vertically down should be only for decorative intentions, not for common writing.
Two scripts, which have never appealed to me are Arabic and Urdu. My gosh.. These scripts defeat all logic. They write the letters and words from left to right but numbers, even when they come in the flow, are written from right to left!! Even if you do not follow any discipline of a reference line, it seems acceptable. Two words are often not well separated. Only first two letters alif, bay are in same sequence as alpha beta or A, B.
Given a choice, I would recommend Devanagari to be the universal script, sincerely, not for any sentimental reasons, but simply for the logical, most disciplined structure grilled into it. As I said, if you would write it right, you would pronounce it also only correct, guaranteed !!
I also studied the Kannada script of the language in Karnataka state in south India. They have two ‘ay’s which helps to write ‘get’ and ‘gait’ distinctly. Devanagari has an ‘avagraha’ which can help get this effect.
Am I a scriptologist? Not really. But surely, I have done quite some study of many scripts. So my recommendation for Devanagari is based on such study, not just a sentimental recommendation.

To higher powers as God, one says, अनुगृहीतोऽस्मि read as anugRuheeto-smi. This is a conjugated phrase (= अनुगृहीतः + अस्मि) meaning I am obliged by your approval and acceptance of me in your fold. अनुगृहीतः is past passive participle of the verb अनु + गृह् where root verb गृह् means “to take” and with the prefix अनु it means “to accept”, “to accept in one’s fold”
Optionally one can also say अनुग्रहीतोऽस्मि read as anugraheeto-smi This also is a conjugated phrase (= अनुग्रहीतः अस्मि) meaning I am obliged by your grace. अनुग्रहीतः is past passive participle of the verb अनु + ग्रह् where root verb ग्रह् means “to engulf” and with the prefix अनु it means “to bestow”, “to bestow one’s grace”.
In spiritual traditions of Preceptor and Disciple, गुरु and शिष्य the Preceptor ordains his disciple. This is called as गुरु gracing, bestowing अनुग्रहः on to his शिष्य.
The fine difference in the pronunciations of anugRuheeto-smi and anugraheeto-smi is due to their derivations from two different verbs. Both mean almost same, but not exactly same. It is these finesses, which justifies the name of the language, “sanskritam”, which means “refined”.
One may attempt translation of every other Sanskrit text. But the force and power that is inherent to a original Mantra in Sanskrit may never get translated with equal force and power. The benevolence obtainable from chanting original Mantra in Sanskrit would not get replicated in any translation thereof.

There would be four spellings, depending upon how the vowel A is pronounced माया मया मय माय
As the name of a baby girl only the first one is correct. Hence, माया It means worldly life. The correct pronunciation with this spelling is “maa-yaa”. So, in this spelling the pronunciation of both vowels A is as of ‘a’ in ‘far’, ‘bar’, ‘tar’, ‘car’
Meanings and pronunciations of other three are –
मया pronounced as “ma-yaa” in Sanskrit means “by me”.
मय pronounced as “ma-ya” in Sanskrit is the name of a demon who had powers of magic. He created in khaaNDavana, the Indraprastha palace for PaaNDavaa’s. He provided a swimming pool, which to a stranger looked like tiled flooring only. Duryodhana walked along and fell in the pool. Draupadi chided at this. That became the reason for the Mahaabhaarat war.
Since the demon was expert at creating deceptive unreal things, everything that is deceptive and unreal is considered and called as माया (= creations of the demon मय)
Thus, the meaning of the first spelling माया also is all deceptive, unreal creation(s) or
माया = creations, which lead you into deceptions and temptations.
For an extended meaning, what is unreal, would perish. What is true, what is fundamental, what is eternal would not perish. Since everything in this world is perishable, philosophers advise that do not remain entangled in the temptations of the perishable things of worldly life, all of which is माया. Pursue the search of eternal truth. This way माया = all worldly life, tempting, perishable, deceptions of worldly life
माय pronounced as “maa-ya” (or similar to word ‘my’ in English) is a word in MaraaThi language, spoken in Maharashtra state in India. It means “mother”, more as an affectionate address to one’s mother.

There are two aspects to a name –
one, the correct one and
the other, what is addressed by fondness.
All “Roberts” are “Bob”s, all “Williams” are “Bill”s
That would be so for your baby girl too.
Her correct name would be माया
Out of your fondness for her, it is okay for you to call her मय
I would also grant मय has a softer, more fond a pronunciation than माया
And parents of course have the privilege to call the child by whatever fond address they love. Nicknames given by parents do not have to have any meaning at all. It is all just love, pure love and affection.
I gave all the long explanations prompted by your question. Don’t take it to heart, what all are the true meanings of different pronunciations are.

What you have composed expresses your trust in God. National motto of USA also says the same thing “In God we trust”.
But when put in first person, the statement gets a colour of ego. Also trust in God can have much more comprehensive benevolence, all-round upliftment. This is well summarised by a word योगक्षेमम्
The following verse #22 in 9th chapter in Bhagavadgita is God’s assurance to a devotee.
अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते |
तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम् ||
The word here is योगक्षेमम् It means “God assures his devotee of
योग: and क्षेमम्”
योग: = being one with. God and his devotee become one entity. God is on devotee’s side
क्षेमम् = wellness, all-round wellness, of mind, body, intellect and everything. Wellness includes “my strength” and also protection from all ill-effects, again on mind, body, intellect and everything.
To be eligible for such assurance from God, what God expects of the devotee is also stated in the other phrases of the verse. I am sure, you will find a good translation and commentary on this verse in any book on Bhagavadgita.
For a tattoo I would recommend
ईश्वरे निहितः मम योगक्षेमः ।

Then I checked up for the meaning of आतति and got the answer as आतति = tension
Technically hence, especially to mechanical engineers आततिशक्तिःwould mean tensile strength. That of course is not “resilience”.
For “Resilience” the word should mean “withstanding tension” I would hence coin a word आततिनिरोधः where निरोधः means regulation, control.
This word निरोधः is very meaningfully used by sage Paatanjali in the very first सूत्रम् sootram of his famous work “योगसूत्राणि”
Sootram means thread. A thread is a summary hint, which has to be comprehensively interpreted. Even as a summary hint a sootram has great potential of meaning summarised in it. That is what sage Paatanjali has done in his “Yoga-sootraaNi”
His first sootra says योगः चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः means “Yoga is control or regulation of faculties of mind”. One most important faculty of mind is wavering. So, by this sootra doing Yoga should be to get control over the wavering of the mind. Such control comes aftre conscientious systematic intensive practice. So in further sootraas sage Paatanjali suggests an eight-fold path comprising of Yama-Niyama-Aasana-PraaNaayaama-Pratyaahaara-dhyaana-dhaaraNaa-samaadhi यम-नियम-आसन-प्राणायाम-प्रत्याहार-ध्यान-धारणा-समाधि These will lead to control, regulation or command over afflictions on mind, body, spirit.
Comprehensive resilience is thus the objective of comprehensive Yoga.
So you can also think of the sootra योगः चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः itself for a tattoo.
Another option for resilience would be आततिनिवर्तित्वम्
Here निवर्तित्वम् means capability to remove or repel. This word is beautifully used in a verse in a prayer to Lord DakShiNaamurti. The verse in a way defines who a Guru a preceptor is
गुकारस्त्वन्धकारो वै रुकारस्तन्निवर्तकः ।
अन्धकारनिवर्तित्वात् गुरुरित्यभिधीयते ॥
It means, “Gu stands for darkness (of ignorance) and “ru” stands for its remover. Because of his removing the darkness, the preceptor is called as Guru.”
What you desire of resilience is capability to remove afflictions whether on mind, body or spirit. Such resilience, such capability can then be summarised by the word आततिनिवर्तित्वम्
I have suggested three options
(1) आततिनिरोधः
(2) योगः चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः
(3) आततिनिवर्तित्वम्

Wake your dreams = स्वप्नान् जाग्रत ।
This reminds me of an appeal Swami Vivekanand gave, especially to youth around the world
उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत
Arise ! Awaken!!
Actually this phrase is from कठोपनिषत् where it reads
उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्यवरान् निबोधत ।
It means “Arise, Awaken, Know what your right goals have to be”
I guess, that what you intend by “Wake your dreams” is also “Know what your right goals have to be”
You will appreciate how ancient wisdom enshrined in scriptures such as Vedas, Upanishads, etc has eternal value for humanity at large. It has been branded as “Hindu” just because it is in Sanskrit. Humanity at large should see it beyond that unwarranted branding. It is humanitarian philosophy, philosophy for the mankind, eternally valid. That is what it is.

Actually in your first posting you had mentioned about your efforts to find translations. I have seen some memo diary type devices which provide translations from one language to another. My son just now mentioned that on the internet Google also has a facility “translate.google.com” But all these devices or such internet facilities will be specific for the languages on which work has been done by the device designers or by the browsers.
Sanskrit is of course not a language on which designers or browsers will have worked upon.
The other option explored by you was dictionaries. For Sanskrit in particular this will not very useful. This is because every word except the indeclinables “avyaya’s” has declensions of a root word. So at http://spokensanskrit.de/ for “dream” you may get Sanskrit word “swapnam”. But for proper translation, you have to know that the root word has to be declined to become “swapnaan”. Same thing applies for “jaagrata”
So, it is for this reason, I guess, that this forum comes useful for whatever translations people want.

Firstly I’d like to thank all of you that have taken the time and patience to answer the questions/translations people have asked for. It’s amazing that such a selfless act can have a profound effect on so many people. Now I’m going to do the same and add my few questions/requests. 🙂
I saw on this site that “lead me to truth, not to untruth/lead me to light, not to darkness/lead me to life, not to death” is written in sanskrit as follows:
असतो मा सद्गमय
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय
On another site I saw “from ignorance, lead me to truth/from darkness, lead me to light/from death lead me to immortality” and it is written in sanskrit as:
असतोमा सद्गमय।
तमसोमा ज्योतिर् गमया।
मृत्योर्मामृतं गमय॥
They’re very similar and I was wondering which saying and which sanskrit writing is the “more correct” one? Would anyone know how it is written/worded in the Upanishad that it comes from?
LikeLike
First one is correct.
असतो मा सद्गमय
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय
मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय
is correct.
The letter मा has to be separate. It is not just a letter. It is a complete word. It is second case singular of the root word, अस्मत् This root word is first person pronoun for I (singular) we (plural) and would decline to become मा for second case singular meaning “to me”. That is how असतो मा सद्गमय
would mean Lead ME from vice to virtue.
People have been translating this line as “Lead me from untruth to truth” I think I also did likewise. But I realise that there is one more line in the verse अनृतान्मा नृतं गमय । That would more appropriately mean “Lead me from untruth to truth. And this line असतो मा सद्गमय should then be better translated as “Lead me from vice to virtue”.
It seems the word असत् is considered to mean असत्य. But असत् is not good, not virtuous, hence vice. असत्य is untruth exactly अनृत् They are synonyms.
With the fourth line, the verse becomes so much more complete, charmingly adding the fine distinction between असत् and अनृत्

May I suggest that for the translation of the second line, to keep the same sequence of “from .. to..” you may put it as “from darkness to light”. No deity will direct anybody to darkness. So, it does not sound good to pray “not to darkness”. And “from darkness” is always valid, because we are so much ignorant of so many things, that we are engulfed in darkness of so many ignorances. So we pray for leading us “from darkness to light”.
Ignorance being washed away and knowledge dawning upon us, is always considered as being led to light. “Knowledge is light. Ignorance is darkness”. That is the fundamental concept.

In India also, they say, “Marriages are made in heaven.”
Indian culture is very old. Maybe, it was that time, when the only language was Sanskrit. Maybe, tattooing prevailed even in those old days. If so, they would have practised tattooing in Sanskrit only.
But I also appreciate your respect and sentiments towards Sanskrit. Sanskrit actually means “refined”. So, question comes, “Refined from what?” Answer would be “refined from the unstructured colloquial language”. Maybe, unstructured colloquial languages emanated naturally. They are called as praakrut (in English, vernacular).
When it came to writing, they thought that what is written should be permanent, eternally valid. So “letter” of Devanaagaree script is called as akShara = eternally valid. “akShara” also means “non-erasable”. So the colloquial language was comprehensively refined for purposes of writing, rather, inscribing thoughts.
With all that refining, Sanskrit certainly has a sanctity of its own. I have known of dramas written in Sanskrit where dialogues of only Kings and of learned lot are in Sanskrit and dialogues of others are in Ardhamaagadhee. So there has been some convention of what to write in Sanskrit. But those conventions also had social influences. We need not go into that.
All Mantra’s which were composed by Rishi’s or which occurred to their enlightened minds are in Sanskrit. That shows the concept of sanctity, that goes with Sanskrit language. But, some passages in great poet Kaalidaasa’s “meghadootam” are very erotic. One cannot call them sanctified, just because they are in Sanskrit. So, there was that period in history also, when Sanskrit was the only language for writing, even for tattooing!!
Since you want to tattoo the sentence in the context of your love with your boyfriend, I wonder whether he also shares the same feeling as much devotedly. In Indian custom, marriage is “solemnised”. The most important part of the solemnising procedure is when the couple circum-ambulate the sacred fire taking seven vows.
You may get this tattoo on you. He does not feel as much or as such about it. Then the whole significance of the tattoo is lost. “solemnising” a marriage by seven vows has that significance of the couple taking the vows together. One vow is to stay together in times good or bad.
Better to take the vow together, than only one of you getting a tattoo, right?
I pray for all the best for you.

By the way, I think this is a very long sentence for a tattoo. Maybe it would be better to put only “our destiny”. What is the translation in Sanskrit of that?
By the other hand, thanks for the information about “the seven vows”. It was something unknown to us!
LikeLike
Maybe a shorter phrase would be
सौभाग्यमिदमावयोः
This brings to mind, that in Sanskrit name of a married woman starts with a title सौभाग्यवती (Mrs.)
Name of an unmarried girl, a virgin starts as कुमारी (Miss)
Name of an elderly gentleman has the title श्रीमान् or श्रीयुत् (Mr.)
Title or prefix for a boy is कुमारः (Master)
सौभाग्यम् means “good luck”, “benevolent destiny”. Marriage is considered as blessing a lady with benevolent destiny of having a husband who loves and cares and the further destiny of having a progeny, who will love and care for the mother. Marriage is thus the starting point of all good things, “benevolent destiny” hence सौभाग्यम्
As extension of this logic, सौभाग्यवती means a lady who has been already bestowed with benevolent destiny, by virtue of having been married. Logically hence, such benevolent destiny is expected to be bestowed not again and again. Once you are married, you have tied the knot for life.
It is this thought, which is entrenched in the seven vows. That is why you find no divorces in Indian society, especially of olden times.
This raised another question, however, “How should a lady lead her life, if her husband died?” It would be too much to go into that here.
Interestingly, sages would always bless a lady saying, “अखंड सौभाग्यवती भव” implying “May you never land into widow-hood”. This also meant “May not your husband die, before you die”
So with marriage, husband becomes the lady’s “benevolent destiny” सौभाग्यम्
The sages who structured the procedures for priests to solemnise a marriage had accorded deep thinking to sociological aspects of life after marriage.
They also ensured that a married girl would also look different from an unmarried one. Prominently a married girl would wear a necklace, the मंगलसूत्रम् “sanctified thread” usually a thread of gold or a thread with golden and black beads. The मंगलसूत्रम् was sort of a declaration that this is a married girl, sort of a protection that the thread is a sanctified one. So none should look at her otherwise. This is how the sages conceptualised the regulation of social behaviour also.
Very thoughtful, right?

Looks like the names are Tamil, especially because of “an” ending in Mohanan and use of “Th” spelling for the pronunciation of “T” as in “Tirupati”
Since these are names, I would think, that they are not to be translated into Sanskrit. They can just be transcripted in Devanaagaree as follows.
मोहनन् ताय्-शेरी I am presuming that the second word is pronounced as taay-sheree.
Since letter “t” or “th” in Tamil stands for four pronunciations
“t” as in “Tirupati”
“th” as in “thumb”
“th” as in “that”
“th” as in “this”
the word in Devanaagaree can be written as
ताय्-शेरी or थाय्-शेरी or दाय्-शेरी or धाय्-शेरी
Also, since शेरी is written in Tamil by using the letter च्, the second part of the word could be written either as शेरी or चेरी
I am giving all the options from what little understanding I have of Tamil. You can choose the one, which appeals to you the best.

There has been a story of an old lion who had ordered that everyday one animal should come to him as his daily meal. Then it was the turn of a rabbit. He went very late. Lion was obviously very angry and asked the reason for the delay. The rabbit told him that he was stopped on the way by another lion. Lion asked the rabbit, where the other lion was. The rabbit brought the lion to a well and asked him to peep in. The lion really saw another lion there. Without realising that it was his own image, he jumped into the well, only to be drowned. Even a rabbit could win his day, only because of his indomitable will.
This is a story, I think from Panch-Tantra. Every story in Panch-Tantra is accompanied by a two-liner shloka, which summarises the moral of the story. The shloka would have a phrase, exactly putting the same phrase, which you are wanting to translate. I shall search for that. Maybe, you can find it too.

समः सर्वेषु भूतेषु मद्भक्तिं लभते पराम् ||18-54||
This last one again speaks of both आत्मा and ब्रम्ह. For its simpler meaning, आत्मा which has become ब्रम्ह and is प्रसन्न, i.e. accomplished, contented, at peace,
न शोचति न काङ्क्षति = has neither sorrows, regrets nor any desires
समः सर्वेषु भूतेषु = is equanimous towards all creations, whether near and dear ones or whether distant and strange
मद्भक्तिं लभते पराम् = such an accomplished soul merits and gets the ultimate of devotion to me.

(2) Note, the sounds of “h” and “R” are to be mixed into each other.
(3) Both the “a”s are vowel sounds, to be pronounced as per “a” or “o” or “e” in “another”. For the vowel sound of “a” in devenagaree, there is only one vowel अ. That is how there is a good discipline in the script, unlike “a” or “o” or “e”.
Mind = मनः (manaH)
(1) To show all the consonants and vowels distinctly, it would be written as म् + अ + न् + अः
(2) The first “a” in the English spelling of the pronunciation, is the vowel sound “a” as of “a” in “another”, as explained above.
(3) “H” is the sound of aspiration mixed into the vowel sound “a”. Hence “aH” together become a vowel sound, written distinctly by a distinct vowel “अः” If a distinct letter would make the pronunciation clear, Muni’s who devised the script provided a distinct letter for that sound. That is how the script is a phonetic script. It should be possible to write any sound and write it with a defined constancy. All that has been taken care of in devising the script itself. Great ?!

Mind = मनः (manaH)
(1) To show all the consonants and vowels distinctly, it would be written as म् + अ + न् + अः
(2) The first “a” in the English spelling of the pronunciation, is the vowel sound “a” as of “a” in “another”, as explained above.
(3) “H” is the sound of aspiration mixed into the vowel sound “a”. Hence “aH” together become a vowel sound, written distinctly by a distinct vowel “अः” If a distinct letter would make the pronunciation clear, Muni’s who devised the script provided a distinct letter for that sound. That is how the script is a phonetic script. It should be possible to write any sound and write it with a defined constancy. All that has been taken care of in devising the script itself. Great ?!

Hello, Please if you could, I would like these 4 quotes in Sanskrit. In light, love and kindness, Jack Gochal
Even after all this time the Sun never says to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky.
Be still and know that I am God.
Where women are treated with dignity and Womanhood is worshiped, there Roam the GODS.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

Even after all this time the Sun never says to the Earth, “You owe me.” Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky. सूर्यः पृथिव्यै वदति वा कदापि उपकृतासि त्वं मया । पश्यताम् एताविधेन स्नेहेन कथं प्रकाशः सर्वत्र ।
Be still and know that I am God. तूष्णीं भूत्वा जानीहि यदहं ब्रम्हास्मि । Actually अहं ब्रम्हास्मि । सोऽहमस्मि (ईशावास्योपनिषत्) are महावाक्यानि “Great Sentences”, great because implied meaning is much deeper than simple dictionary meaning of the words.
I understand that “Be still and know that I am God is a Psalm. A Christian friend had given me the exact reference also. I would like to know again.
“Be still and know” suggests that one has get into a trance of deep meditation. Then there will be the vision of God and God may tell you, “Know, I am God”.
Or deep meditation will lead to self-realisation of such degree, where one may end up muttering “I am God”
One Zambian lady narrated a very telling experience. Her mother would fetch a big jar of water from the river. One day, she tripped and thought to herself, “Oh, why this should have happened, that too on way back home with jar full of water!” But in another second a frightful serpent hissed across. Then she realised as if God told her, “Be still and know that I am God”. God really knows, (right ?) who should have the right of passage ! and yet will protect His devotees !!
Where women are treated with dignity and Womanhood is worshipped, there Roam the GODS.
There is a famous shloka I think in ManuSmruti –
yatra nAryastu pUjyante ramante tatra devatAH |
yatra tAstu na pUjyante sarvAstatrAphalAH kriyAH ||
यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवताः ।
यत्र तास्तु न पूज्यन्ते सर्वास्तत्राफलाः क्रियाः ॥
meaning – where women are worshipped (includes, rather goes beyond “are treated with dignity”), there Gods find playful happiness. Where they are not worshipped, there all actions will prove fruitless.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

What meaning you seem to be seeking is carried to much higher, far mature and exalted state in the following verses in EeshAvAsyopaniShat ईशावास्योपनिषत् ।
यस्तु सर्वाणि भूतानि । आत्मन्येवानुपश्यति । सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानम् । ततो न विजुगुप्सते ॥6॥
यस्मिन्सर्वाणि भूतानि । आत्मैवाभूत्विजानतः । तत्र को मोहः कः शोकः । एकत्वमनुपश्यतः ॥7॥
I can attempt only a literal translation. Deeper meaning has to be only experienced through meditation.
यस्तु सर्वाणि भूतानि । आत्मन्येवानुपश्यति । सर्वभूतेषु चात्मानम् । ततो न विजुगुप्सते ॥6॥ He, who sees all creations within himself and himself in all creations, can seek no victory (whose victory over whom ?)
यस्मिन्सर्वाणि भूतानि । आत्मैवाभूत्विजानतः । तत्र को मोहः कः शोकः । एकत्वमनुपश्यतः ॥7॥
What attraction or what pangs of separation would he have, in whom all creations have become himself and it has all become one unity ?
This thought is reflected also in 6-29 in gItA,
सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानम् सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि |
ईक्षते योगयुक्तात्मा सर्वत्र समदर्शनः ||6-29||
सर्वभूतस्थमात्मानम् = oneself in all creations
सर्वभूतानि चात्मनि = all creations in oneself
ईक्षते योगयुक्तात्मा = sees the soul, which has become eligible or mature (yukta) FOR communion (yoga) or
sees the soul, which has become eligible or mature BY (practice of) yoga
सर्वत्र समदर्शनः = who sees all around with equanimity.
For overall meaning –
The soul, which has become eligible or mature BY practising communion (yoga) or has become eligible or mature FOR communion (yoga) sees equanimity all around, as he sees all creations in oneself and oneself in all creations.

Dear Barbara,
Namaste !
Namaskara and Namaste are both perfect Sanskrit words. Sanskrit is a language. But language is not religion. So, everything in Sanskrit language is not Hindu. People around the world are taking interest in Sanskrit. They all would not become Hindu’s. They need not become. Because Hinduism does not rely or believe in conversions. In fact Hinduism is name thrust on it. Principles of Hinduism are universal in their spirit. They are fundamental. They are valid for anybody and everybody, regardless what all faiths one may have cultivated by having been inducted into practices of whichever religion.
I guess, Bible was originally written in Hebrew. But everything in Hebrew is not Christian. Maybe, Hebrew as a language existed much before Jesus.
However between Hindu religion and Sanskrit, one can say that both evolved simultaneously. Or probably not. The grammar of the language of Veda’s has many deviations from grammar of Sanskrit language. Sanskrit literally means “refined”. If a language became refined, it automatically means that after refinement it is different from the original language.
But Sanskrit words like Namaste and Namaskar have become a part of Indian culture, so much so that they have been absorbed in almost all Indian languages.
Literally Namaste (= namaH te) means “I bow to thee.” The phrase “to thee” can have an extended meaning as “to the divinity in you”.
Basically Namaste is a way of greeting a person with humility, modesty, extending a respect. If two persons greet each other saying Namaste, it becomes a manner of mutual respect.
Instead of saying that Namaste is a Hindu way of greeting, you may call it as Indian way of greeting. We Indians will certainly be happy if people around the world start greeting each other with mutual respect. It would be a far better world, right ?
Your original intention was to have it as a tattoo. Instead of it just being a mark on your body, may I suggest that it should become a way of life – people to greet each other with mutual respect ! Start practising it for yourself. May be it would spread. They do say, “A good idea is contiguous in its spirit”
Namaste !

Hello! I’m doing a project on my personal life beliefs translated into various languages and I have a few questions.
From my own research and live I’ve come up with three qualities or, i guess, beliefs that are more important to me than anything else and they are Karma, Dharma, and love (or more like, how you treat others, how you treat everyone with love, that life without love is pointless.) So I’m trying to figure out a sanskrit translations of love that’s close to what I’m saying, that the purpose of life is to love.
i’m also interested in “balance” and “acceptance”
and is there a way i could combine those concepts into my own prayer or mantra? while having it still be traditional?
I also was wondering about sanskrit in vertical vs horizontal, and if they mean something different, and if there are different ways of interpreting them. or if different, i guess, dialects make different meanings?
or perhaps there already is a mantra that specifically covers karma, dharma, and “love”
I was raised sikh but gravitate towards hinduism so I’m not doing this out of nowhere or just for fun, it’s something that means alot to me, and i’m actually looking to find someone in my area to help me learn more about it, but in the meantime i’m really looking for this translation.
i’m also interested in reading more about ganesha as he is the diety i’ve found myself most drawn too. do you have any recommendations of someplace i could do some research?

You had made this same post on 27 May. I brooded on it for some time. But when I did not come up with a satisfactory reply, I left it at that. And thereafter it remained left out.
Now with your re-posting, I am thinking that verse 18-42 in gItA answers more than what you are looking for. The verse is –
शमो दमस्तपः शौचं क्षान्तिरार्जवमेव च |
ज्ञानं विज्ञानमास्तिक्यं ब्रह्मकर्म स्वभावजम् ||18-42||
I need to explain how this answers what you are looking for and even more than that.
As such this verse lists what all characteristics qualify to be called as ब्रह्मकर्म. Most of the qualities together summarise what you possibly imply by karma and dharma
शम: = peace, ensuring peace
दम: = control
तपः = penance, ascetic life
शौचं = purity
क्षान्तिः = tolerance and ability to pardon
आर्जवं = straightforwardness, transparency
ज्ञानं = knowledge
विज्ञानं = scientific, inquisitive aptitude, attitude, approach आस्तिक्यं = acknowledging His existence. I believe this is same what you call as “acceptance”
स्वभावजं = manifesting naturally. These qualities will manifest naturally, only when they become part of your inherent character
ब्रह्मकर्म = This is traditionally interpreted as duties to be performed by a Brahmin. To me, these qualities are qualities which should manifest in the conduct of a person, who wishes to be called as a Brahmin. In other words, only that person is a real Brahmin, in whose conduct one can see manifestation of these qualities. By further corollary, anyone can be eligible to be called as a Brahmin, if his conduct gives manifestation of these qualities. Such Brahminism is, by virtue of it being purely qualitative can have a universal outlook. A Sikh, a Christian, a Muslim, anyone, irrespective of religious or genetic orientation can be a Brahmin by manifestation of these qualities.
With your “life-beliefs” and values, which you seem to be wanting to cherish, I guess, you also are aspiring to imbibe these Brahminic characteristics.
I already dwelt upon the first two words of this verse on 20th January 2010, when responding to a query by Ms. Cheryl. It may interest you to read that part also.

The Q and A with Nikki is copied below.
Her question did not contain the word “love”, which you asked for. I hope, I have answered “love” properly for you.
Notable difference is translation of word “righteousness”
For Nikki I had given translation as सत्त्वम्, ऋजुता For you I gave धर्मः
Putting both together,
righteousness = धर्मः, सत्त्वम्, ऋजुता 🙂

रैना when pronounced as rai-naa (note rain as in rain in English)
राना when pronounced as raa-naa
In all the above ‘n’ the nasal sound is pronounced with tongue behind the teeth.
If ‘N’ the nasal sound is to be pronounced with tongue hitting the roof of the palate, then it would be written as
राणा when pronounced as raa-Naa
In India also we have the word raa-nee meaning a queen in many languages ! In some languages it is raa-Nee !

Asvaghosa
Born in a Brahman family, Asvaghosa was a noted poet and is considered to be instrumental in the spread of Buddhism. He was born in Central India and was a noted philosopher and poet. He was considered as great as Kalidasa. Though a written biography of Asvaghosa does not exist, legends say that he was a strict opponent of Buddhism. Then one day he lost a heated debate to the noted Buddhist scholar. It is said that this incident triggered him to accept Buddhism and he became one of the most noted disciples of Buddhism. The term Ashwaghosa Bodhisattva has an interesting story behind it.
Asvaghosa was once teaching and singing the principles of Dharma to a crowd in the royal city, when the king deliberately fed seven hungry horses to test their reaction to Asvaghosa’s teaching. The horses were distressed due to hunger, but they did not touch the food to be relieved of their distress. Instead they understood Asvaghosha’s sermon and were relieved.

Dear Jyoti,
In dictionaries the mention चैत्रः suggests that it is a masculine noun. Some dictionaries would mention चैत्र m
As you must be already knowing all nouns in Sanskrit have a gender – masculine, feminine or neuter. For example चैत्रः is masculine, चित्रा is feminine and चित्रम् is neuter.
Every noun has declensions by numbers एकवचनम् (singular) द्विवचनम् (dual) बहुवचनम् (plural) and by cases प्रथमा (Nominative) द्वितीया (Accusative) तृतीया (Instrumental) चतुर्थी (Dative) पञ्चमी (Ablative) षष्ठी (Genitive) सप्तमी (Locative) संबोधनम् (Address)
To know the word completely, one has to learn all the 24 declensions.
Since gender and case of adjectives needs to correspond to the noun it qualifies, an adjective will have 72 declensions !

Hello there!
I would like to profess by saying how beautiful the sanskrit language is! I was searching the script for interests sake and I came across this picture: I am wondering if this is a prayer and what the translation is?? Its a very beautiful script. I will keep my opinions of tattoos to myself as they are not kind :), but nonetheless I am curious to know what this script means!

“Wild Child” can be written in many ways.
Before that you have to tell me if the child is a boy or a girl.

Frankly, I have not seen BhaviShya-purANa. But prompted by your question, I did Google-search and found some interesting info at http://www.stephen-knapp.com/jesus_predicted_in_the_vedic_literature.htm
Mr. Stephen Knapp also mentions in that article “… However, I should also point out that this prophecy of Jesus in the Bhavishya Purana is found in no other Puranas, which often corroborate each other. This is why a study of the 18 major Puranas will reveal an assortment of prophecies that are often repeated one in another. So to find this story of Isha Mashiha in no other Purana sends a red flag of warning. Furthermore, not everyone gives the Bhavishya Purana pure confidence. It is known that as many as 200 pages from this text had become lost or misplaced, and various interpolations are likely to have occurred in this text while India was under the British administration. So, we should be somewhat cautious about accepting this on face value. …”

Dear saṃskṛta’s stalwarts,
Below is some 13 verses from the ṛkveda 1.050 and I wish to avail of your guide in interpreting it for me.
Interestingly, the translations of the same have been given at sacred-texts.com[http://bit.ly/pQJxGH] but sadly, it is way too westernised or may I say the interpretation lack the spiritual lustre touch. Like for example, at sacred-texts.com[http://bit.ly/pQJxGH], the translation is way too dry and somewhat irrelevant as well as erroneous as far as the vedic context is concerned, and is almost lacking any spiritual conveyance or any spiritual teachings of our maharṣis – making the whole śloka useless or sounding like a fairy tale.
I would be very happy if you could bless me with your guidance in interpreting those 13 śloka from a vedic-centric viewpoint – my jyotiṣa guru, calls those 13 śloka as ‘sūrya ṛk mantra’and hints us that those very same 13 śloka have actually been provided for the 13 māsa (12 + 1 such adhika māsa that occurs after every 5 years). One should bow to one of its sūrya’s form (depending on one’s sun sign based on one’s horoscope) before any task as sūrya as in jyotiṣa, the dvādaśa āditya (sūrya in its 12 forms of āditya), are the real givers of fruits in this material world. Hence the importance to decipher those verses arise –

I’ve been reading into the practice of cultivating bodhicitta. I understand bodhicitta is a Sanskrit word for awakened heart. What is the sanskrit translation of bodhicitta?
LikeLike
Justina, Bodhicitta IS the EXACT SANSKRIT TERM! You will realize that all the Mahayana [which includes the Yogacara and Madhyamika schools of India] texts and sutras were written in Sanskrit. Their discourses and debates were conducted in Sanskrit among themselves and between them and their Brahmanic and Jain contemporaries. The great universities of Nalanda and Vikramshila had Sanskrit as their medium of teaching, just as Oxford and Cambridge or Harvard and Yale today accomodate many disciplines and many nationalities, but communicate almost exclusively through English!
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who just a few centuries earlier had been communicating their sutras in Pali, Apabhramsha, Magadhi, etc. suddenly found themselves speaking in chaste literary and very complex Sanskrit all of a sudden. Not just that, poor Chinese translators, having issues with the long a, and short a, of Sanskrit vowel combinations, made egregious mistakes, e.g. with a-laya-vijnAna, versus A-laya-vijnAna, thereby setting off a whole new and utterly manufactured branch of theology!! Such is the human penchant for B.S.!!
So please do not get trapped by form over substance! The awakened heart and the desire to achieve it is precious beyond imagination. Godspeed!

For those wanting tattoo translations, try this website: http://freetranslationblog.blogspot.com/
I just discovered this blog about learning Sanskrit, and I will attempt to learn the Devanagari as suggested. It was very interesting reading the comments, at first. Then it descended into questions about translations of names and concepts that, it seems to me, go against the idea of some of teachings, such that I know them, which isn’t much. I’m sure the owner of this website is happy to help, but this shouldn’t be taken advantage of. It is important to be respectful. And asking for tattoo translations, appears to me as tasteless and as one ‘well-wisher’ said, tacky. There are other websites for this, as noted above.

Hi!
I came across with the mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” with this meaning: ‘love, peace, and harmony, for me and the people around me’.
Is this correct, or are there a variety of meanings to it?
Thank you in advance!
LikeLike
“Om Namah Shivaya” ॐ नमः शिवाय is simply a prayer, an obeisance to Lord Shiva.
ॐ Om = respectful beginning of a prayer or of an obeisance
नमः Namah = obeisance
शिवाय Shivaaya = to Lord Shiva
There is a verb implicit अस्तु astu = may (it) be.
Om Namah Shivaaya” ॐ नमः शिवाय = May (this) obeisance be to Lord Shiva !
शिवाय Shivaaya has another meaning as well. शिवाय is dative case of शिव. Hence शिवाय Shivaaya would mean “for Shiva” and Shiva means ‘love, peace, and harmony’.
By this alternate meaning of शिवाय i.e. for Shiva, the alternate overall meaning of “Om Namah Shivaya” ॐ नमः शिवाय would become “May this obeisance be for ‘love, peace, and harmony’. And a kind, exalted soul would not pray a selfish prayer. The prayer would be not only for oneself, but for the entire world. Hence the prayer would then mean ‘love, peace, and harmony, for me and the people around me’. Actually ‘people around me’ is also a limited purview. “for the whole world” is the broadest. “Om Namah Shivaya” ॐ नमः शिवाय does not say, for whom or for whom all. Even if one is selfishly saying this prayer, can one be at ‘love, peace, and harmony’, if whatever around me is not at ‘love, peace, and harmony’ ? For the prayer to be granted, it cannot be just selfish.
“Om Namah Shivaya” ॐ नमः शिवाय is also a mantra (a six-syllable mantra) for meditation. If one meditates on this mantra, strong and focused and intensely, it will have an all-pervasive effect.

Your mention of सोऽहमस्मि from ईशावास्योपनिषत् rings in many thoughts. Maybe, I penned those in another context some long time back at this blog itself. Interestingly, a Psalm also has the wording “Be still and know that I am God” !

My friend (female) asked me to write down in sanskrtā following:
“My happiness is in their happiness” (meaning: she’s happy, when their male guys – husband and son are happy). To love. To respect. To protect”
As I don’t have Devanāgari script on my mac, will try to write it latin script:

Namaste Jyotsna Devi,
Everything manifest with an intended purpose
Everything = krtsnam
manifest = vyaptam
astu = is
purpose = lakShya,
need a more elegant, poetic phrasing; aphorisms like these in Sanskrit are termed SubhaShita, or well-spoken, i.e. pithy, bon-mots. They need to be elegantly phrased to be memorable, and not workaday, prosaic language. That is a no-no! Herein lies the difficulty! You see, in the Gita, and elsewhere, certain lines and phrases have become immortal precisely for the way simple ideas have been worded! Sage Vishvamitra writes: Dhigbalam kShatriya balam, brahmatejobalam balam, balAbalam vinischitya, tapo evam param balam. Such is the beauty of the DevabhASha, that none can forget the flow, and rhythm of the words and metre after thousands of years and the ideas contained therein! Sanskrit is extremely nuanced, as well. Each word also has a shastric level, a kAvya level, a darshana level, an Adhyatmika level, Adhibhautika and Adhidaivika levels and so forth. Vedic levels and later, and much, much more.
So, the term “intended” here takes on a lot of weight: whose intent?
Is the author a philosopher from a particular school of Darshana, trying to convey a particular point of view, is she from a spiritual background referring to a Deity, say Shaivite, Vaishnava concepts of Godhead, a Buddhist referring to Interdependence, an freethinker saying that there is a mysterious purpose that manifests itself? Sanskrit is is exceptionally nuanced in its metaphysics, like a laser cutting edge, and its phrasing makes these things stand out, unlike in English. Think of cutting sashimi with an axe blade, i.e English, versus slicing with a special purpose Japanese blade forged with great care for that single purpose, i.e Sanskrit.
Everything you have said is beautifully expressed in the DeviMahatmyam, but with a depth of meaning by the padas:
Tvam vaiShNavirshaktiranantavIryA
Vishvasya bIjam paramAsi mAyA
So, I have offered you a most unsatisfactory half-answer, and hope to have stimulated a protest or complaint, so that we may keep on talking, or you may be persuaded to keep on investigating.
Shubhamastu.

I hope you can help, thank you so much!

Namaskara Julia Devi,
The word for “perfection” you are seeking may be “Apta” [aapta], i.e. a past participle meaning “fulfilled”, “achieved” or “completed” that is used in the same sense as “perfection” is in idiomatic English. “Gratitude” is “krtajnatA”, and the older Vedic expression, “adruha” “being faithful, never betraying trust”. A grateful person is “krtajna, and adruha. Such a being is Apta.
Sa krtajnAdruha puruSho’sti hi Aptah = SakrtajnAdruha puruSho’sti hyAptah.
Here, puruSha does not mean male, but human being.
Why do I insert the Vedic formula “adruha” in addition to “krtajnatA”? Because it is most important to reiterate in idiom, the core ideas of a culture. Therefore the RkSamhita never fails to emphasize the 3 attributes it abhors: DROHA, MITHYA and ANARTHA: Betrayal, Falsehood, and Evil. “KrtajnatA” by itself, to my ears, it just not assertive enough, it is somewhat passive, and lacks vigor, the SAHAS enjoined by the RkSamhita, the active, forceful, directed energy. You are not to just be grateful but to have an alert awareness, continuously on the watch to intervene vigorously on behalf of your benefactor, SACRIFICING yourself WITHOUT condition, not weighing how much was given against how much is now required.
Agni is named SAHAS SUNU, the SON of SAHAS, who brings the energy and force of SAHAS to earth, and invigorates us with those same qualities. The Vedic symbolism is all about unconditional sacrifice. To enter into the realm of sacrifice, Yajna, one needs to have DikSha, which is Dah+san, meaning the “resolve to flame upwards, to burn up, to become FIRE”.
Gratitude makes you GAURAVITA, derived from the word GAURAVA, which is derived from GURU, which comes from HEAVY, with substance, cognate with Gravity, Gravid, Grave.
Gaurava means feeling uplifted, feeling expansive, proud, large, wonderful, the opposite of feeling small, nothing, worthless.
Gauravita is the past participle, the state of being when someone has permanently affirmed you, made you permanently established in your own worth. Who does that? The GURU. S/he shows you, the lion cub, your own reflection, and proves to you that you are a lion in the making, and never a sheep.
That is the beginning of infinite gratitude and strength being generated, that allows you to never ever behave in a small, mean manner unworthy of the greatness to which you have been just made heir. That informs your every act, thought and word, and makes you perfect.
Gauravita hetu kriyA pUjA
All activities performed on account of being made gauravita, substantial, is termed worship.
That is what you were speaking of when you spoke of Gratitude making one dwell in perfection, were you not?
Hopefully, our learned and respected vidwans will rectify and improve upon the above translation.

Namaskar Nitish,
It always helps if you provide a little more context, e.g. title of the text, because the context determines the meaning or shade of meaning Sanskrit, as you know! For example, here,
adhamAH may mean “inferior” to some presumed hierarchy, nIcAH also means “low” or very low, low-born, and vaJcitaH implies that the rakSasAs were themselves tricked, deceived, operating under some sort of enchantment, trickery or compulsion. So when that was the case with these foul, inferior lowly creatures, what need be said of their [presumed] wish to succeed in bewitching or controlling by enchantment the entire world?
yat : since they were themselves bewitched, acting compulsion, therefore [ tAvat] how could they succeed in their intent to land a whammy [jaganmohinitvam] on everyone else? [ kim sidhyati?]

So, by putting the parts together – That the vicious, mean, demons were conceited, just by that, is the charm across the whole world established ?

In the Lalita Sahsranamam sloka no. 40 my book says tadil lata samaruchi shatchakropari samsthita. However, in some other books it appears as tatil lata…..I checked a couple of Sanskrit dictionaries online. They say Tadit is lightning. Going by that, tadil lata should be correct. Can you please clarify?

Hi Everyone,
To be able to speak sanskrit ( properly ” संस्कृत ” ) one must know Devenagari script very well , and it is not difficult though. because संस्कृत is ” write as you speak” and ” speak as you write ” language. with english script it is bit difficult.
we have a Whatsapp group where the basic संस्कृत संभाषणं happens , like creating small small sentences , understanding the meaning of words , how to use them etc. you can also post your basic questions in group people are happy to answer them.
if anyone is interested to join our group then please send a whatsapp message to the Admin at 9404222266 .
in short while one will be able to speak & read संस्कृत comfortably .
Thanks.
