O niShaada, you will not come to glory till the end of eternity. for you have killed one from a pair of krauncha birds, enraptured in love.This is the first shloka in Ramayana as Krishna told me some time ago. As the meaning indicates, Valmiki was inspired to write this shloka when he saw a hunter shooting one of two krauncha birds who were engaged in rati. This was one of the first shlokas that I larn in my Sanskrit class in the 5th grade, and all the entropy below is based on what I learned then. most of the people on this net may already be familiar with the significance of this shloka. ever composed by aadikavi (first poet) vaalmiiki. He was in a peaceful state of mind (either meditating or taking a walk) when this niShaada (hunter) killed the male krauncha (swan? . vaalmiiki got aggravated with the actions of the hunter and this shloka came out of his mouth. afterward vaalmiiki emerged out of his rage, he realized that he had kaput(p) out of the state of equanimity and cursed the hunter out. It was then that psyche else (naarada? ) appeared and told him that he had uttered the first piece of poetry and explained to him that there was a second meaning behind the shloka. I dont remember what the other interpretation of this shloka is except that the hunter is raama and the krauncha(s) are raavaNa and mandodarii, and that raama kills raavaNa.I dont remember what the second interpretation of the shraapa (curse) is when applied to raama. So this is how the shloka fits into the raamayaNa. ? ?? ??????? ???????? ??? ???? ???? ???????? ??? ???? ???????? ???????????? ?????????? No one knows what will eva nesce to whom tomorrow.

The inferior men are famous because of their uncle. and the surpass among them are famous because of their father in law. I interpreted this in a different way. This shubhashita intends to convey the wealth Most respected weath is the one you earn That you inherit from your father is just OK One you get from your mother is not good And, the one you aquire from wife is the worstI am not sure if that were a different version of this shubhashita ???????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???????? ????? ???? ???????? ???? ???? ???????? ?????? = effort saahasam. h = adventure ??????? = courage buddhiH = knowledge ?????? = strength paraakramaH = bravery ??? = six ete = these ???? = where vartante = exist ???? = there devaH = god ???????? = suspensorfu l God will help provided the six qualities effort, adventure, courage. knowledge, strength and bravery exist. ????????????????????? ? ?????????????? ????? ????? ????? ???????? ??? ? ??????? ?????? ????? ??????? ??????? = Sun ??????? = Moon ????? = air ???? = fire ????? = sky ????? = earth ??? = water ?????? = soul ??? = Lord Yama ? = and ??? = morning ??????? = night ??? = both ????? = righteousness ????? = knows ????? = mans ??????? = character Lord Sun, Lord Moon, Lord Vayu (air), Lord Agni (fire), the Sky, mother Earth. the water (Lord Varuna), the soul, Lord Yama, both the Day and the Night. and Dharma (the Righetousness) each one of these will know a mans character. Every moment, you are being watched atleast by one of the above The discussion is with reference to recent Subhashitam posted by Raghavendra the one with UdyamasaahasaM etc Hemali Vyas disagreed with the meaning of the two words Dhairyam and Saahasam Ramakrishna from Tokyo disagreed with the Hemalis comments. Here is my sagaciousness for whatever it is worth. DhairyaM means Dheeratwa bhavaM dhee is buddhi or intellect so in line of reasoning to saahasaM dhairyaM must involve ingenious conviction. So in a way Hemali Vyas is right Raghavendras meaning that it is courage is also right It should be courage born of intellectual conviction not emotional outburst.We all know what is right but many a time we do not have the guts to follow what is right we do what we feel (emotional driven) like doing. DhairyaM is the courage to do what is based on right understanding. SaahasaM I will split as sa + a + hasam ( I donot have a mental lexicon at my computer desk this may be my imagination). has if I remember right means to smile or to laugh at with a in front it means opposite to be serious that one to take things seriously not jokingly with prefix sa it could mean samyak that is total or with seriously or daringly jumping into action there is no joking around n that sense SaahasaM should imply seri ous adventurous pursuit in contrast to DhairyaM saahasaM need not involve intellectual conviction it could be based on just emotional outburst. So there is a possibility of one getting burned if it is not based on sound intellectual judgment. Hence the subhashitaM words one demand both the DhairraM and SaahasaM Just an intellectual curiosity If I have all the six of them listed why do I need the help of the Deva The fairness of the matter is if I have all of them I already have the help of the Deva. Having all the six of them itself is by the grace of Deva too.In Vedanta Shastra, there is a preceding deity for each of the faculties like Indra for Bhuddi etc. Hence having these qualities is a grace of God too Hari Om Sadananda What you have is His feed to you and what you do with what you have is your talent to Him. ? ????? ????? ?????? ? ??????? ??????????? ????? ???????????? ?????????? ??????????? ? = no ?? = Certainly ???? = I am ????? = wish ??????? = kingdom ???????? = he aven ?????????? = na + punarbhavam. h = salvation ???????????? = for grief ridden ?????????? = for living beings ?????? = kaShTam. h, sorrow ?????? = destruction, removal Certainly I do not wish for kingdom.I do not wish for heaven.
