Gardes ... thanks for the wonderful post

Dev/Abhay reciting the mantra was the best part of the episode for me ...

You are right in that sanskrit is a beautiful language and is hard to translate ... - also know that you have been watching only sporadically but since you have done a great job of it in the past, was hoping you would do the translation this time too 😊

Thanks, Rajsri. Your saying this means a lot to me. It seems some of the forumers were looking for the translation. Now that I am into it more, I feel that any attempt to translate something written in Sanskrit, kills it for me. It is such a beautiful language once you get the hang of it.

My first experience was in BG chapter 1 when Arjun sees his own (evil) brothers on the battlefield and the thought of war with them gets him anxious and he says:

Sidanti mama gaatraani, mukham cha parishushyati
Vepathush cha sharire mein, roma harshash chajaayate

Gaandivam sraunsate hastat tvak chaiva paridaihyate

Na cha shaknomy avasthatum bhramativa cha me manah

My extremities (limbs) feel weak and my mouth is parched

I tremble and I have goose bumps

<div>My (bow) Gandiva slips from my hand and my skinburns
I can no longer toleratre it, my mind is reeling

Which of the two sounds beautiful? Sanskrit, hands down for me!

Gardes,

I have to agree that Sanskrit is most beautiful language. My mother has a masters in it and she urged us to take it in High School. I took it over Hindi only (after 8th grade: the choice was Hindi, Panjabi or Sanskrit) because you could get 100% in Sanskrit. It was only after I left the school that I started appreciating the language for its beauty. Few years ago, one of my friends got me all Kalidas novels and poetry in Sanskrit with translation for each verse in Hindi. Sanskrit verses were so beautiful and the Hindi translation was quite bland in front of it.

thanks gardes amazing translation. bravo!

Vow Gardes!  Enjoyed reading your post as always.  Being a sanskrit student the meaning was not difficult to understand and the language is truly beautiful.

 

The second issue is according to me too this mantra was not whispered in Dev's ears at all.  The mahantji who conducted Dev's Rajyabhishek was not the same one.  One of the many bloopers.

Grades wise lady that was really lovely to read themantra and the meaning and at the point of repeating what has already been said  Avinash did a fantastic job of reciting it and CVs did goofup the Sr Rp did not wispher any mantra to Dev😆.

They have been doing that ever since ONS track. The Mahant could easily have said that a RP teaches each of kid an unique mantra (say during janau ceremony) which is only known to them and that wouldn't have contradicted the history.

Gardes,
