On checking up with Apte's I find the following -
Asanna = approached,near, impending, imminent.
pratyAsannaH = proximate,near, contigous.
atyAsanna = not listed, probably it was not in use.
Even for getting a meaning "nearing death", the
phrase to be used will be Asanne maraNe.
atyAsanna by itself cannot mean nearing death.
In additon to the above, excessive rain, drought,
locusts,rats and parrots are calamities of a country.
But a country will have only one king. The use of
the plural rAjAnaH will have meaning only when the
word refers to the kings of surrounding kingdoms,
i.e. pratyAsannAshcha rAjAnaH.

Dear Mr. Srikrishnan:
I think "pratyAsannAshcha rAjAnaH" fits better
with the "seasonal" aspect of the six calamities listed.

Hello:
Just a couple of comments....
1. I think, saurilagne is correct. sauri is saturn (shani)
- the name derives as "son of suura" (suura and suurya both
mean sun).
2. 'pratyAsannAshcha rAjAnaH' : The version that I have
heard is 'atyAsannAshcha rAjAnaH' - Meaning, Kings who are
close to death (ie, the rulers who, due to old age or
illness, are not able to look after the Kingdom properly).
Thanks !
Srikrishnan

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hanuma's flights to Lanka and back are eight times.
1] for searching Seehta - to and from - 2
2] for participating in war to and fro - 2
3] to fetch Sanjivini from Himalayaas, at the
advise of jaambavanta, when Rama &
Lakshmana both fainted owing to brahmaastra of
Indrajit [i.e., first time fainting of Lakshmana] - to and
fro --
2
4] when Lakshmana alone fainted when Ravana uses
shakti missile, and escapes from battle field, shusheNa
advises to bring the same herbs, and aanjaneya brings
for second time - to and fro 2
No herb is specially broguht for Sugreeva when he faints
at the blow of Ravana in the first part of war. We have to
construe that he is up on his feet, when Hanuma brings
herbs for the first time, along with other vaanara-s.
Is this correct?

Wouldn't 3 & 4 involve four crossings each?
For example for 3:
to fetch Sanjivini from Himalayaas, at the advise of jaambavanta, when Rama &
Lakshmana both fainted owing to brahmaastra of Indrajit [i.e., first time fainting of
Lakshmana] -
1. Hanuman had to first fly north crossing the ocean;
2. Then fly south with the mountain in his palm and had to cross the ocean again to
reach the battlefield;
3. After the herbal treatment to Rama and Lakshmana, Hanuman had to fly north again
(again crossing the ocean) to put the mountain back in its original place in the
Himalayas.
4. And finally, after putting the mountain is back in its place, Hanuman had to fly
south again (i.e., crossing the ocean for the 4th time on this particular mission) to
get back to the battlefield.
Same 4 steps would have been involved under "4" too, i.e., when Lakshmana alone
fainted when Ravana uses shakti missile, and escapes from battle field, shusheNa
advises to bring the same herbs, and aanjaneya brings for second time.
That should make a total of 12 ocean crossings by Hanuman. What do you think?

Subject: [Sanskrit] Humour in grammer (5) - when PANini made a
mistake.
To: sanskrit digest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
PANini who composed the aSTAdhyAyi found that no one could comprehend the various
sUtras. He was searching for someone who could make a commentary on his works. One day
when he was performing sandhyaavandanam in the river, he took some water in his palm
folded cup like. He was surprised to find a small snake in the palm. The following was
the conversation between PANini and the snake.
PANini : korbhavAn? (instead of ko bhavAn?) = who are
you?
The snake: sapoham. (instead of sarpoham) = I am a
snake.
PANini; rephaH kutaH? = Where has r gone?
The snake: tvayA apahR^itaH.= taken away by you.
In spite of creating a monumental work on grammer, PANini made a grammatical mistake.
He asked the snake to declare its identity and knowing that it was AdisheSa himself,
asked him to write the BhASya
for aSTAdhyAyi.
This is the only commentary in Sanskrit which has got the prefix MahA. So it came to
be known as MahAbhASya.
The snake got the name Patanjali meaning that which fell on the palm.
