dear scholars,
i had studied sanskrit as a part of my curriculum for four years ,
which was about eight years back. Still i can read and understand the
normal stuff ( what we call as laukik sanskrit ). I seek your guidance
about where to restart or refresh my knowledge of sanskrit and atleast
develop some amount of speaking fluency.
thanks in advance

Dear Avnish,
it will be imperative that your basic skills be rock-solid. Just
because one has laukika reading capacity, does not not mean that
he/she has rock-solid basic skills. I would suggest that you read M.R.
Kale's A Higher Sanskrit Grammar from the beginning (the more you know
the faster you will go through the book). That way you ensure that
later on when you read serious Sanskrit texts and Siddhanta Kaumudi
grammar, you will waste minimum amount of time referring back to the
grammar. If you decide to start with Kale's book, let me know because
there are some tips I have regarding the order in which the book
should be read in my experience.
Best,
Mihir

What is the origin/ meaning/"pada vibhajana" of the following two phrases
that are commonly used?
1. harE rAma (is this to be understood as harihi + rAma and does this mean
that "only hari is rAma"?)
2. harihi Om (same question as above)
I am interested in the linguistic formation of these two phrases - what is
the root
and in what case each word is composed and to mean what.

1. hare rAma is -> sambodhana prathamA of the 2 words 'rAma' ('akArAntaH') and
'hari' ('ikArAntaH') . So, you are just calling out to them. 'he rAma', 'he
hare' |
2. hariH Om -> is a statement that equates 'hari' ('hariH = prathamA, eka
vachanam') to the praNava mantra 'Om'.

Or to put it into Western grammatical terms
Hare is the vocative sing masc in the short i (i.e. Hari - epithet of
Vishnu) paradigm, as in muni declension.
HariH here is nominative, sing, masc - same declension paradigm, as above,
and hariH is in apposition to Om - both are in the same case and number, the
verb "asti" is understood.

In the last episode, you learnt that 'sa.nj~naa' means a term used to denote a
concept. I also introduced you to the first sa.nj~naa called 'it'.
halantyaM |?? 1.3.3
(1.3.3 means this is the 3rd paaNini suutram in the 3rd quarter (paadam) of 1st
chapter (adhyaayaH)
Here is a trick question: How many chapters does paaNini's aShTaadhyaayii have?
Answer at the end :-)
The laghu siddhaanta kaumudii (LSK) is a Cliff's notes or guidebook to
paaNini's aShTaadhyaayii written by SrI varadaraajaachaarya. He himself said it
is 'paaNiniiya praveshaaya', introduction to paanini's treatise
It explains selected paaNini suutras (not in the aShTaadhyaayii order) so as to
gradually unfold several aspects of sanskrit grammar grouped conceptwise. The
first chapter of LSK introduces many common grammatical terms, and hence is
called 'sa.nj~naa prakaraNam'.
LSK quotes the above as the first sUtram and gives its explanation as follows:
upadeshe antyaM hal it syaat | sUtreShu adR^iShTaM padaM sUtrAntaraat
anuvartaniiyam sarvatra |
which means, 'The last consonant in maaheSvaraaNi sUtrANi is referred to as
'it', ... blah blah ...
If you look at this explanation and what the pANini rule above says, you must
already raise a question. How in the world did Varadaraaja mahodaya conclude
that the above sUtram talks about the 'it' sa.nj~naa ??? There is no word
called 'it' in the above sUtram isn't it?
That's a quiz question for you, whose answer will be revealed in the next
lesson.
Now that I gave you enough basis to start understanding the LSK, knowing that
my pace so far has been too slow for you, I will rapidly introduce several new
terms in this lesson.
adarshanaM lopaH | 1.1.60
The sa.nj~naa 'lopaH' means the hiding of something.
tasya lopaH |
The 'it' i.e., the last consonant in aN, ach etc. when used in a sutra, doesn't
have any meaning by itself, and should be dropped (lopaH) wherever it occurs.
It is there only to abbreviate things as the next sUtra says:
aadirantyena sahetaa = aadiH antyena saha itaa | 1.1.71
LSK: antyena itaa sahita aadiH, madhyagaanaaM svasya cha sa.nj~naa syaat |
yathaa, aN iti a i u varNaanaaM sa.nj~naa |
The above sUtra introduces paaNini's abbreviation for letter sequences, such as
'ach' and 'hal' that I talked about in the first lesson. It says,
the first letter followed by an 'it' denotes the first letter along with all
intervening letters upto but excluding the last 'it'
e.g., aN denotes a i u
uukAlojjhhrasvadIrghaplutaH = uu kaalaH ach hrasva-diirgha-plutaH | 1.1.27
This sutra introduces the terms hrasva, diirgha and pluta. It says that in
Sanskrit there are three time intervals (kaala maatraaH) in which a vowel can
be uttered: hrasva, diirgha and pluta
like in the three ways of saying 'u'
i.e., u, uu, uuu
This applies to all the vowels i.e., ach varNaaH like a i u R^i L^i e ai o au
However, some other exceptions will be introduced that prevent e ai o au from
having hrasva form.
The next set of rules introduce the three possible tones (crudely, the pitch at
which a sound is uttered):
ucchairudaattaH = ucchaiH udaattaH | high-pitched tone is udaatta
nIchairanudaattaH = niichaiH anudaattaH | low-pitched tone is anudaatta
samaahaaraH svaritaH = samaahaaraH svaritaH | the neutralization of high and
low pitch, i.e. the middle pitch is svaritaH
I am not sure about what svarita means. Can some expert help me here? Is it the
middle pitch or the other elongated pitch we have as in
'yaat' of 'prachodayaat'?
The next rule introduces the concept of a nasal sound - anunaasika
mukha-naasikaa-vachano-anunaasikaH |
The letter uttered with both the mouth and nose is called anunaasika
By derivation, a letter uttered without a nasal component is called ananunAsika
(not nasal).
Quiz:
1. Given the above rules, in Sanskrit, in how many possible ways can the
following letters be uttered??? a i u R^i e ai o au
Answer to trick question: aShTaadhyaayii, meaning "8-chaptered", has 8 chapters.
In the next lesson, we shall examine Sanskrit alphabet's is phonetic basis and
its systematic arrangement on that account.
bhavadiiyaH,
- Sai.

Please verify?your following correction (in italics)----
?
My Q. should there be a "vertical mark" on top of the?'akshara' "t" in the
devanagari script of the word "ratnadhAtamam"? Yout text says that it is so!
?
dhanyawAd,
shashikant?
"consider the word "ratnadhAtamam" from RV1.1.1
It is written as follows:
hotAram ????????????
ra (no mark)
tna (underline)
dhA (no mark)
ta (vertical line above)
mam (no mark)
ratnadhA is by itself antodAtta - only the last syllable "dhA" is udAtta. All
the rest, i.e., "ra" and "tna" are anudAtta. As it happens the pratyaya "tama"
is also anudAtta. So the only REAL stress (i.e., belonging to the dictionary
word) is the udAtta of "dhA". However, it affects the anudAtta "ta" following
it and makes "ta" a svarita. The svarita affects the anudAtta "mam" ahead and
makes it "prachaya". Thus all "obvious" unmarked svaras must be pronounced by
the rules. The sad thing for us modern readers is that, until we learn the
rules, this "obvious un-marking" (obvious to the people who went to saMskR^ita
pAThashAlA and became priests) is so confusing! Thus the svaras are :"

Hello All,
Now that this web site has been revived again, I am venturing with my
first query. Someone asked me what does the word 'Arjuna' means as far as it
relates to the hero in Mahabharata epic. I have heard of a tree called
'Yamalarjuna' but I don't know if the two have any connection. Could someone
help?
Thanks. Narayan Dravid

arjuna means white or clear. it seems to me to be derived from arj
dhaatu meaning to take or procure with the kRdanta suffix una. But how
this translates into white/clear is something that the pandits can
explain.

Hi Narayan. The below is from a message of today to the Mahabharata
Study Yahoo group written by Indrajit Bandyopadhyay. It may be to the
point.
