- जटा कटाह सम्भ्रम भ्रमत् निलिम्प निर्झरी जटा matted locks कटाह shaped like a cauldron, a saucepan (describing जटा) >>
- What I love about this stotra is how it pulsates with a life force - all because of the way it is composed and sung.
- जटाकटाहसम्भ्रमभ्रमन्निलिम्पनिर्झरी_ विलोलवीचिवल्लरीविराजमानमूर्धनि । धगद्धगद्धगज्जलल्ललाटपट्टपावके किशोरचन्द्रशेखरे रतिः प्रतिक्षणं मम ॥२॥

- We all know this stotra was composed and sung by Ravana for Shiva. learn more about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_Tandava_Stotram …
- @rajara13 @bangalorehuduga In advertising we say "there's no human urge so powerful as the one to correct another man's copy" :-)
- If you've just joined us, you can hear Shiva Tandava Stotra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BE3kG64_38 … We're about to move 2 verse 2. #SanskritAppreciationHour
- चण्ड+ताण्डवं fierce, ardent, passionate dance चकार done (by Shiva) शिवः तनोतु May Shiva extend शिवम् -auspicious नः to us

- ShivaTandava Stotra is not an easy text, and I'd like to say a special thank you to @SNChd for his support in this effort.
- @PrashanthSai369 ShivTandavaStotra!
- Gita-artha-sangraha has only 32 verses and captures the form and essence of the Bhagvad Gita admirably well. Ok - let's move on.
- If you don't have the time to read the BhagvadGita from cover to cover, you can make a start with the Gita-artha-sangraha of Yamunacharya>>
- Before we begin STS (since there is an abbreviation for everything these days...) I would also like to tell you - if you don't have the>>
- and everyone has their favourite - this is mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BE3kG64_38 … Please listen to the first 3 verses. I don't think we'll get beyond
- And that brings us to the end of Gita Dhyana Shlokas. In a few moments, we will move onto Shiv Tandava Stotra. There are many versions>>
- यस्य whose अन्तम् end सुर असुर गणाःthe multitudes of sura and asura न विदुः do not know नमः I bow देवाय तस्मै to that divinity/god
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi
- lit. placing their concentration in तद्गतेन lit. gone to the one (through placing their dhyana in the divinity)
- पश्यन्ति यं योगिनः the one who is 'seen' by yogis मनसा with their minds [who are] ध्यान अवस्थित >>
- Those of you who want to know more about the angas, and what pada and krama are, pl connect with @PrachinVaani Expert on early Vedic :-)
- वेदैः with the vedas स+अङग+पद+क्रम along with its ancillaries, with the pada and krama methods उपनिषदैः [and] with the upanishads>>
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi
- 3) यं (सामगाः) गायन्ति>> And how else is the one praised? सामगाः singers of the sama veda यं गायन्ति sing (to that one)>>
- And what do they praise that one with? दिव्यैः स्तवैः with divine hymns
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi "crippled in the legs" says a dictionary ... Krushnam vande jagatgurum!
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi done something great then also this श्लोकः flashes. :)
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi It is my favourite. Whenever I feel something cant be accomplished this श्लोकः flashed in my mind. or whenever I feel I have>>
- @rajatkamath yes. लङ्घ् means to ascend, but also to cross over, go beyond. so if hanuman crosses the ocean, you would use this verb also.
- 2) यं स्तुन्वन्ति the one who is praised by.. And who is the one praised by? ब्रह्मा वरुण इन्द्र रुद्र मरुतः >>
- 1) नमः I bow देवाय तस्मै to that divinity/god >>
- Day before someone asked @PnNamboo what if there are two (or more) verbs - then we just take them as separate sentences like so:
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi Apparently he was dark-skinned (krishna) and born on an Island (Dwipa). Hence the name Krishna DwaipAyana 4/n
- वेदैः स अङग पद क्रम उपनिषदैःगायन्ति यं सामगाः ध्यान अवस्थित तद्गतेन मनसा पश्यन्ति यं योगिनः यस्य अन्तम् न विदुः सुर असुर गणाःदेवाय तस्मै नमः
- Now the next verse, which is also quite familiar to us: यं ब्रह्मा वरुण इन्द्र रुद्र मरुतः स्तुन्वन्ति दिव्यैः स्तवैः >>
- यत् कृपा by your grace तम् you अहम् वन्दे I bow to परमानन्दमाधवम् Madhava/Krishna
- मूकं the one who cannot speak करोति u make वाचालमं a person who talks पङगुं the one who is lame लङ्घयते you cause to cross गिरिम् a mountain
- @rajara13 @bangalorehuduga We should all be that good :-)
- now the next verse is familiar to all of us: मूकं करोति वाचालमं पङगुं लङ्घयते गिरिम् यत् कृपा तम् अहम् वन्दे परमानन्दमाधवम् #SanskritHour
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi Ved VyAsa born Krishna Dwaipayana is the son Rishi ParAshara and Matsyagandha (aka Satyavati). 1/n
- @vijaygkg Wouldn't it have to be व्यस for that?
- अहरहः everyday [are] पेपीयमानं eagerly drinking मुदा the joy (of the text) >>>
- And लोके in this world सज्जन-षट्पदैः by good men (who are equated to bees here since the text is equated to a lotus/flower) >>
- And of the Mahabharata, नाना आख्यानक केसरं the stamens (of that pankaja) are many different narratives>>
- @SingingYak Yes, true. but it has to be in the verse to be able to translate it that way. And it isn't.
- And 3) गीता अर्थ गन्ध उत्कटम् abounding in, richly endowed with the fragrance of the essence of the Gita #SanskritAppreciationHour
- 2) हरि कथा सम्बोधन आबोधितम् (MBh is) awakened, by the attendance of Hari's words.
- Retweeted by Rohini Bakshi@RohiniBakshi Son of Rishi ParAshara
- So MBh is 1) पाराशर्य वचः सरोजम् अमलम् The words of Vyasa, [which are] a stainless lotus.
- Since none of these is the case, I'm inclined to take it as The words of Vyasa, which are a stainless lotus>>
- But for that wouldn't "वचः" have to be a genitive plural? And the saroja in ablative/singular? Or the words should be in compound?
- Most online translations interpret this to mean 'born in the lake of the words of Vyasa,since सरोजम् both lotus and lit. 'born in a lake'.
- And how is the Mahabharata described? 1) पाराशर्य वचः सरोजम् अमलम् The words of Vyasa, [which are] a stainless lotus. >>
- >> it is describing पंकजं which is a neuter noun. And for what? नः श्रेयसे Our benefit, welfare, good.
- And what may it become? कलिमल प्रध्वंसि the annihilator of the impurities of the Kali age. Notice that प्रध्वंसि has a short ई because >>
- The subject and verb of this verse: भारतपंकजं भूयाद् The lotus of the Mahabharata [may it] be/become>>
- लोके सज्जन षट्पदैः अहरहः पेपीयमानं मुदा भूयाद् भारतपंकजं कलिमल प्रध्वंसि नः श्रेयसे end of verse. translation follows.
- पाराशर्य वचः सरोजम् अमलम् गीता अर्थ गन्ध उत्कटम् नाना आख्यानक केसरं हरि कथा सम्बोधन आबोधितम् >>>
- now to the next verse - let's begin #SaskritAppreciationHour.
- & from today a new competition on #SAH - whoever catches a mistake before @bangalorehuduga will get the BangaloreHuduga prize for precision!
- A correction in verse 1 from yesterday in case you missed the conversation - it is अनुसन्दधामि not अनुसन्धामि Thank you @bangalorehuduga
- Sat Sri Akal and welcome all to #SanskritAppreciationHour. Today we will complete the #GitaDhyanaShlokas but before that>>
Dedicated to learning Sanskrit, the cardinal aim of this blog is to give the reader direct access to ancient Scriptures, Śāstras, Literature, Philosophy and so on. The approach is primarily grammatical, but opinion pieces will inevitably feature. I approach the Scriptures with respect, but from a historical, social and mythical point of view. If you are looking for swooning devotion, this is not the blog for you.
