The question had been haunting me for a long time. I thought it better I can bounce it here to the digest so there may be a chance of getting a satisfactory solution. It is a simple *shloka *all of us are familiar and acquainted with: a prayer to Lord Ganesha. ?????? ????????-?????? ??????-?????-??-???????????? ??????? ????????????? ????? ??????????-??????????? It is too simple to need any annotations to the compound words. The elephant-faced one, attended by the bhuuta-gana-s, having the food extract from the fruits of *kapittha* *jamb**?* , the son of Um?, and the cause of destruction of worries -- I salute the lotus (like) feet of Lord Vighnehsvara. The translation also looks fine at first sight. But strictly following the syntactic relation and order of the predication, there seems to be something incompatible. All the adjectives in the *karma*vibhakti, are applicable to Vighnesvara, who is the owner of the lotus-like feet. But the main predication ????? requires by proximity ??????????-??????????| But most of the adjectives like ?????? etc. cannot be related with this object in the *karma* as they applicble to ?????????? only, which is obviously not the *karma* for the predication. Then how to relate these adjectives? If we relate them with ?????? and make the word as the *karma* for the predication ?????, the sentence is complete after the predication, without requiring anything as the object. Now, the second part ??????????-??????????? will be left without any relation with the first part. If we take the same verb again, to relate to this second *karma*, isn't it a case for "?????????????????" ???? Is there any other way of interpretation or a feasible relation established to yield a compatible meaning? Looking forward a satisfactory solution, With regards -- Hari Narayana Bhat B.R.

There is a coded herbal remedy for a very common decease in this verse. Ganesha is not the son of Uma. Uma was Lord Shiva's first wife who immolated herself during the Daksha Yagna. Ganesha was the son of Parvati. So why did the Rishi say Uma-sutam meaning son of Uma? This is the coded hint. Uma also means sweet in Sanskrit. Sutam also means urine. So for those who know the proper decoding method, this famous Sholaka is a remedy for diabetics - sweet-urine!! - "If you take a little quantity of juice of Jamboo fruits you will not get diabetics." Similarly most of the verses of Shree Rudram in Yajurveda also have coded instructions for herbal remedies for various problems. That is one of the reasons why the Ayurvedic pundits of south India recite these verses while preparing the Ayurvedic medicines, recite the verse while giving it to the patient and ask him to recite it while taking the medicine.

I googled for Chidambara Kavi and found this: http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2005/07/29/stories/2005072900050300.htm "Two texts in this section show the scholars' mastery of the language and grammar. Shabdartha Chintamani written with a commentary by Chidambara Kavi (circa 16-17th century). The poet uses several rare words that have unusual sounds to compose the individual stanzas. Reading the stanza left to right, we read the Ramayana. Reading the same stanza from the last word to the first (right to left) we read the story of Krishna. The comprehensive commentary helps us unravel the meaning. Also by the same poet is Kathathrayi. Here the same sloka narrates an incident from the Ramayana/Bharatham or Bhagavatham. This is primarily through using multiple meanings for words or occasionally by varying the pausing between alphabets depending on the text you want to read. *Sudurgamambhoja Suhrutkulairya prekshyairmukhair rajakulai prasiddhai I Ucchodyaduudhonnati hasti gotram samudraghoram jaya daitya Sainyam II* * (Kathathrayi - Verse 7) * **Taking the second line, the poet uses the word "hasthi" to refer to the prosperity of Ayodhya. In reading the sloka for Mahabaratha, hasthi read with the next word, indicates the clan that rules Hasthinapur i.e. the Pandavas. While reading the Bhagavata, the word is used to describe the virility of the Yadava race." Regards, Malolan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I had also been haunted by the same doubts for a very long time as Dr Hari Narayana Bhat was (may be because my name forms a part of his) and had discussed the same along with Mr Naresh Cuntoor's question with many and none could give a satisfactory explanation, May be this is the right forum where somebody may come up with a good reply. I tried to explain ??????????-?????????? like this: ?????????? is saMbuddhi calling VighneSvara and ?????????? is viSeshaNa of ?????? meaning ???? ?????? (??) ???? ??? . But this does conform to the general structure of bahuvrIhisamAsa where viSeshya should follow viSeshaNa. Regarding ??????-?????-??-??????????? my explanation is that ???????? means ??????? . ??????-?????-??-????? ??????? ???? ???. This is also not much satisfactory. Somebody may come up with a better explanation. I read the link quoted by Mr Bhaskar Joshi and found that the page in the link has many mistakes. There is no doubt in that ?????? and ?????-?? are good for diabetes but the strange meanings of ??? and ??? are hereto unheard of and are not seen in nighaNTus. Do we need this roundabout and questionable ways of explanation when there are innumerous direct references of the effectivity of the quoted fruits in diabetes ? Pardon me if I am wrong. Yours Dr P Narayanan Nagarcoil ________________________________ From: Naresh Cuntoor <nares...@gmail.com> To: Sanskrit Mailing List <sanskrit@cs.utah.edu> Sent: Thursday, 1 October, 2009 7:40:34 PM Subject: Re: [Sanskrit] Umasutam -- clarification I don't have an answer, but a related question. In kaptittha-jambU-phala-sArabhakShitam, the refrain is that Ganesha enjoys those fruits. Shouldn't Ganesha be bhakShita-...-phala-sAraH, i.e., bhakShitaH kapittha-jambU-phalasAraH yena saH ?
