I would like to dust the cobwebs and try to remember what little I learnt in school. Is anyone willing to teach Sanskrit here ? Hits, Mandrake, anyone else ?
A science that does not deliver us to the portals of metaphysics is a failed science and a religion that does not embrace physics is not grounded in reality.

Although translations would be widely available, lemme try and give meanings for individual words:
dhyAyato --- dhyAyatah = (he/she) concentrates vishhayAn - has a deeper meaning ... I think it means 'wordly objects' pumsah - person sangastEshhUpajAyatE --- sangah + tEshhu + upajAyatE sangah = association teshhu = among / with them upajAyatE - arises / starts (when) a person concentrates on 'wordly objects', he starts associating with them sangAt = from association sanjAyatE = arises / springs forth kAmah = desire kAmAt = from desire krOdhObhijAyatE --- krOdhah + abhijAyatE krOdhah = anger (also means sorrw here, I suppose ![]() abhijAyatE = arises From association, springs forth desire (and) from desire arises anger krOdhAt = from anger bhavati = exists (from) sammOhah = delusion sammOhAt = from delusion smRtivibhramah = forgetfullness (forgetting whats right and wrong) Delusion exists (due to) anger (and) from delusion (arises) forgetfulness smRtibhramshAt = from forgetfullness budhhinAshah = total loss (of) intellect / wisdom buddhinAshAt = from loss (of) wisdom praNashyati = utter destruction Forgetfullnes leads to loss of wisdom (and) loss of wisdom spells utter destruction *Vivek enjoys the free rein thats being given to him at this thread ![]() ![]() poor bibhas .. u started the thread na ? ![]() |

I am enjoying reading all the translations (Dhanyosmi Vivekah) too. Though I knew the general meaning of the shlokas, it helps to see the sandhis broken down and roots displayed.
