- @Mamdhata All of them?
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi now spring is the month that he declared for beginng of srauta sacrifices
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@pratiba_sk @RohiniBakshi Ditto in Telugu. Vaadinchanam = to argue; Vaad-vivaad (debate?) is also to be found in Hindi.
- The goodness of the good, the splendour of the splendid, the best of the best...
- जयः अस्मि व्यवसायः अस्मि I am victory, I am [strenuous] effort, सत्त्वम् सत्त्ववताम् अहम् I am the goodness of the good.
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@mak_ichiban @RohiniBakshi in kashmiri language we use vaad which means arguing. Our mother tongue is mix of sanskrit.
- द्यूतम् छलयाताम् अस्मि Of cheats I am gambling तेजः तेजस्विनाम् अहम् I'm the splendour of the splendid (ardour,majesty,burning brightness)
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi Has to do with astrology; Nov-Dec or Dhanur rashi is house of jupiter - In rasis starting with mesha it stands for 9th
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi 9th house represents dharma, pitr, guru, etc. hence of time (rashi chakra represents time element) Lord rep 9th element
- द्यूतम् छलयाताम् अस्मि तेजः तेजस्विनाम् अहम् जयः अस्मि व्यवसायः अस्मि सत्त्वम् सत्त्ववताम् अहम् (X.36) #BhagvadGita #SanskritHour
- What I like in the next verse is that the Supreme Being finds an analogy even among the not to good...No Black/White divide here.
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi God is pursuit,motivation,struggle,path and content of excellence.
- Any one have an answer for that last verse? How come months are Nov-Dec, but season is Spring? I'm confused.
- ऋतुनाम् कुसुमाकरः (X.35) Of the seasons I am Spring (lit. the maker of flowers, or abounding with flowers) I wonder why diff month & season
- मासानाम् मार्ग+शीर्षः अहम् Of the months I am Marga-Shirsha (roughly Nov-Dec)>>>
- बृहत्साम तथा साम्नाम् Of the chants I am [the Vedic melody] Brihatsaaman गायत्री छन्दसाम् अहम् Of the meters I am gayatri #SanskritHour

- बृहत्साम तथा साम्नाम् गायत्री छन्दसाम् अहम् मासानाम् मार्ग+शीर्षः अहम् ऋतुनाम् कुसुमाकरः (X.35) #BhagvadGita #SanskritAppreciationHour
- @NarayanSanath Since he is the Supreme Being, what he identifies with must be the best in that group - stands to reason, no?
- स्मृतिः मेधा धृतिः क्षमा [contd. from last line - of the fem qualities -- ] memory, wisdom, courage and patience. (End fo verse 10.34)
- कीर्तिः श्रीः वाक् च नारीणां Of the feminine [qualities] I am fame, splendour and speech >>contd
- मृत्युः सर्वहरः च अहम् And I am all destroying death उद्भवः च भविष्यताम् and the origin of [things] to be >>>
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi the same root goes to form dharma
- @NarayanSanath :-) Always!!
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi वादः प्रवदतामहम् As per श्रीधरस्वामी- I am वाद in the disputations. Other types are जल्प & वितण्डा pic.twitter.com/DwAYOhaUFg
- मृत्युः सर्वहरः च अहम् उद्भवः च भविष्यताम् कीर्तिः श्रीः वाक् च नारीणां स्मृतिः मेधा धृतिः क्षमा (BG X.34) #SanskritAppreciationHour
- @Mamdhata nominative singular of धातृ which itself is derived from the root धृ - to hold, to bear
- To revise noun declensions including the genitive plural/षष्ठी बहुवचन Pl see: http://www.sanskritexams.org.uk/file/documents/rupanis/IGCSE%20Nouns%20Oct%202010/IGCSENamaRupani.pdf … #SanskritAppreciationHour
- If you've just joined us, we are doing verses 31-37 Ch 10 of #BhagvadGita, helping us simultaneously to learn/revise the genitive plural
- @NarayanSanath Apologies!! :-) I am Jahnavi/I am daughter of Jahnu mixed up.
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi daughter of jahnu
- I identified the genitive plurals for you in the first few verses.. from here on try to do it yourself. You'll never forget it via these vs
- धाताः अहम् विश्वतोमुखः I am the establisher/arranger (lit. one who places things) facing in all directions (omniscient)
- अहम् एव अक्षयः कालः I alone am indesctructible time >>>
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi agree - dialogue is the process
- अक्षराणाम् अकारः अस्मि of all the letters of the alphabet, I am the letter 'a' द्वन्द्वः सामासिकस्य च and of the compounds I am the dvandva
- अक्षराणाम् अकारः अस्मि द्वन्द्वः सामासिकस्य च अहम् एव अक्षयः कालः धाताः अहम् विश्वतोमुखः (X.33) #SanskritAppreciationHour
- @mak_ichiban Definitely. But I think discourse subsumes them.
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi Doesn't vaad have to do with logic/argument and not discourse?
- To me, in this section, the Lord is also telling us what he thinks is best, so he's setting some standards here :-) >>>
- So in 10.32 we have सर्गाणाम् विद्यानाम् प्रवदताम् as shashthi bahuvacana - of creation(s), of knowledge(s) of those who speak
- अध्यात्मविद्या विद्यानाम् of [all] knowledge I am knowledge of the supreme self वादः प्रवदताम् अहम् Of those who speak, I am discourse
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi Pl also note that Lord takes both masculine feminine/neuter forms with impact upon his being
- सर्गाणाम् of creations आदिः अन्तः च the beginning and the end मध्यं च एव अहं अर्जुन and even the middle, am I , Arjuna >>>
- @SNChd Even in Gita dhyana verses this comes up, no?
- @SNChd That's make much more sense. Except the alligator avataar? Can anyone tell us about that?
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi झषाणां मकरश् चास्मि Alt. interpretation I have seen is: I am shark amongst the fishes
- If you have any questions on how a word is derived or what it means, please feel free to stop me. That's what we're here for. :-)
- Now the next one सर्गाणाम् आदिः अन्तः च मध्यं च एव अहं अर्जुन अध्यात्मविद्या विद्यानाम् वादः प्रवदताम् अहम् (X.32) #BhagvadGita #SAH
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi झष=fish
- In the first verse alone we have 4 opps to learn: पवताम्, झषाणां, शस्त्रभृताम्, स्रोतसाम् Can it get better? Read the Gita, revise #Sanskrit
- स्रोतसाम् अस्मि जाह्नवी Of the rivers I am Ganga (daughter of Jahnavi) end of 10.31. Note all the shashti bahuvacanas..#SanskritAppreciation
- झषाणां मकरश् चास्मि Of the sea monsters I am makara (alligator/ avataar of Vishnu) >>>
- पवनः पवताम् अस्मि Of the purifiers I am the Wind रामः शस्त्रभृताम् अहम् Of the weapon bearers I am Rama (Note the 'of the' genitive plural)
- @msteckchandani @Fascinatingpics Seriously true. Do you think that makes #SanskritAppreciationHour capable of competing with You Tube? :-D
- BG 10.31 पवनः पवताम् अस्मि रामः शस्त्रभृताम् अहम् | झषाणां मकरश् चास्मि स्रोतसाम् अस्मि जाह्नवी (minimal sandhi for your convenience)
- >>yesterday, the forms change depending on the ending of the noun. #SanskritAppreciationHour genitive plural practice via #BhagvadGita
- So if all of you are ready we can begin. Oh wait - do refer to this table for vibhakti practice: http://www.sanskritexams.org.uk/file/documents/rupanis/IGCSE%20Nouns%20Oct%202010/IGCSENamaRupani.pdf … because as we saw>>
- So for beginners, this section is a boon for learning/memorising the genitive plural/षष्ठी बहुवचन Because the Lord says "of these I am X"
- These verses form part of the intstruction to Arjuna, and in them Krishna expresses his essence by drawing on the best in categories>>
- Today we are going to do verses from Ch 10 of the Bhagwad Gita. We've covered some of the earlier verses and time to plough on :-)
- Sat Sri Akal and welcome all to #SanskritAppreciationHour on 19th March 2014. My God how this year is flying by...
