Namaste Learned members,
This is a small request on using the subject lines like "sanskrit
Digest, Vol 54, Issue 8". Such kind of subject-lines do not convey
*anything* about why someone is responding to others, and in what
sense. Further the automatic grouping of mails that is done by the
receivers' mail program (yahoo/gmail etc.) is really lost.
1. One simple solution to remove the above problem is to choose to
receive the mails in "non-digest" mode. This is because, the digest
kind of methods were perhaps designed for use in the days when
mail-list servers/clients used to package mails in batches. In current
days, such problems do not exist.
So that the above action (receiving non-digest mode) does not fill up
the list-members' INBOXes, the individual members could write a small
*one-time* filter in their mail program (yahoo, gmail etc.) and
respond to the mails they want to respond to. It is a small one-time
task and save the readers a lot of effort.
2. Another option is to keep receiving in digest mode and modify the
subject lines. This is an error prone task, easy to forget. I have
seen that individuals have done that once or twice, after the ADMIN
sent a mail and reverted back to the usual mode. Further, the
subject-tag, that the mail-clients (like yahoo/gmail) use to classify
is sometimes not what you actually "see" as subject line.
I am writing this because I am really learning a lot by reading the
mails of the learned members writing their scholarly posts with
valuable references. I think I would be referring to some posts in
future too, for further reference and for further study. So, kindly
pay attention.
Thanks for considering.

In King Bhoja's time anyone can go to his assembly and show his knowledge and
earn a handsome prize.
A pundit from a neighboring country wanted to show his merit.
When he reached the precincts of Bhoja's palace he was received by the king's
men.
They offered to take him in a palanquin.
While he was being taken it was very cold. The pundit asked one of the bearers -
api shiitham baadhathi? (Is the cold affecting you?)
The bearer replied -
na thathaa baadhathey shiitham yathaa baadhathi baadhathey /
Cold does not affect me so much as the use of the word baadhathi.
baadhathey is the correct usage.
The bearer was non other than Kalidasa.
The pundit thought that he had already been defeated even before entering the
assembly and retreated.

It's becoming more and more interesting.
One question: is yathA facultative in a tathA-yathA sentence?
One minor change: in the story I know, it goes, na tathA bAdhate daNDo yathA
bAdhati bAdhate.
In that story KAlidAsa disguised himself as a flag bearer (but I'm not sure
on this point).
Ever thankful

He should have replied that he was Vyasa. Vyasa alternates
parasmaipadam and atmanepadam according to metrical need and whim,

I am sure even Kalidasa himself would have tripped on Atmane vs parasmai
padams!
It will be nice if somebody posts an example. I once saw an article which
outlined Kalidasa's violations of Panini.
By the by the dhatu is 'bhAdh^Ri vilODanE' . What is the function of the
indicatory '^Ri' here?

Yesterday in Mahaprasthanikaparva I saw a parasmaipadam form of vRt,
vartaamaH I believe; don't remember the verse number now. There's
also a kind of truncated atmanepadam present participle in
Mahabharata, such as vartaanaH instead of vartamaanaH (I think this is
the form, again going on memory alone).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter7to 13- Slaying of Vrthra by Indra.
Once Indra showed disrespect to Brhaspati due to the arrogance of his wealth
the devaguru and he left the sabha and disappeared. Indra regretting his
action searched for Brhaspathi but could not find him. Without the aacharya
anugraha the devaloka lost its lustre and the devas were easily defeated by
the asuras. Indra lost his kingdom and appealed to Brahma who told him to
ask Visvaroopa the son of Thvashta to act as their guru. Thvashta was one of
the twelve aadhithyas born to Adhithi and Kasyapa. But he married Racana who
was the sister of the asuras. Visvaroopa was the son of Thvashta and racana
and was well versed in Vedas. When Indra asked him he accepted to be their
guru, even though he said, his brahma thejas would be dimmed by doing the
work of a purohith, because the devas were like his fathers, and instructed
Indra with Narayanakavacha to protect him from his enemies. Through the
power of the Narayana kavacha Indra got back his kingdom.
Then Visvaroopa performed a sacrifice and gave the offerings to the devas
calling them by names but he also offered it secretly to the asuras who were
his uncles. Indra came to know this and severed the three heads Visravas
had. Thvashta angered by this did a homa to create a son who would kill
Indra with the manthra *indhraSSathro vivrDhasva,maa chiram jahi vidhvisham,
"*oh enemy of Indra grow and kill the enemy soon." But due to his agitation
he pronounced the manthra with a wrong accent. Giving the accent on the
letter *dhra* in *Indhra* it became a bahuvreehi compound meaning *indhraH*
*SathruH* *yasya*, the one to whom Indra is the enemy instead of giving the
accent on *thruH* of the word *sathruh*, which would have been a
thathpurusha compound meaning *Indhrasya* *SathruH*, the enemy of Indhra.
AS a result of the homa Vrthrasura rose from the fire, fierce looking and
the devas became afraid and resorted to Lord Vishnu for protection He
advised them to pray the sage dhaDheechi to give them his backbone and make
a weapon out of it strong like vajra. Sage dhaDheechi gave up his sareera
which, he said, had to be given up sometime in any case, and the Indra made
vajrayudha from his bones.
There ensued a fierce battle between the devas and asuras. This happened in
the beginning of Threthayuga. Vrthra abused the devas saying that they were
killers of guru, brother and one of brahmathejas, meaning the killing of
Visvaroopa by Indra.
Then he said the Lord Vishnu would not give riches to His devotees lest they
may swerve from the path of salvation and prayed to the Lord that he should
always be endowed with the devotion to the Lord. Indra was surprised to see
his devotion but nevertheless the two fought on and Indra struck Vrthra with
the vajrayudha which cut off his arms and Vrthra walked towards Indra with
his legs like a great mountain and swallowed Indra along with his chariot.
But since Indra was protected by the Narayana kavacha he was unharmed and
came out breaking his body with the vajrayudha and cut off his head with it.
A light came from the body of Vrthra and entered the Lord.
But Indra was affected by the brahmahatthi which was pursuing him in the
form of an old, sick and ugly female with foul odour and Indra ran away and
entered the manasa lake and lived inside the lotus stalk there for thousand
years out of sight of everyone. Then he was released by meditation on
Sathyanarayana and since he was protected by Mahalakshmi in the manasarover
he was not affected by the brahmahatthi.
In the absence of Indra, Nahusha became Indra by performing 100 aswamedha
sacrifices. But due to arrogance he wanted Sachidevi to come to him and she
asked him to come to her on a palanquin carried by the saptharshis. When
they were not going fast enough due to the gait of Agasthya, the dwarf sage,
he said "sarpa sarpa," go fast and Agasthya cursed j him saying "sarpo
bhava" and he fell down being transformed into a serpent.
The Indra regained his kingdom and became completely free from his sin by
the aswamedha sacrifice performed n by sage Marici and others by
propitiating Yagna naraayana.
