One participant requested an additional 2 days to answer the quiz. It has something to
do with computer problems, combined with power cuts in Bangalore. I have no problem
accommodating his request. Instead of posting the answers for Quiz 9 on March 1st, I
will post them late March 2nd (India is about 10 hours ahead).

Here are the answers I received for Quiz # 9.
The first question asks for "crosses the ocean," not "jumps across" as
Mr. Ramakrishnan answered (ullaMghayati).
Now I have a doubt about my own answer to the question.
For "eight times" I used "aShTavArAn" and everyone else used "aShTavAraM."
Am I wrong?
I have also received a comment that Hanuman actually crossed the ocean
12 times in Ramayana, not 8 times.
Thanks everyone for catching the errors. However, I don't believe
Mr. Ramakrishnan's correction of "sauri" to "shauri" in Q. 8 is correct.
I checked the Apte online dictionary, and it is "sauri" for shani (Saturn),
not shauri. However, his correction of "sauri lagneva" to "saurir lagneva"
must be correct. Thanks.

2. svalpa.m sukha.m krodhaH.
Anger is a small pleasure.
This is a Sanskrit sentence that contains no verb. Other examples of
such Sanskrit sentences (with no explicit or implied verb) I can think
of are - "bAlaH saH," (he is a child) "kva rAmaH" (where is Rama?)
--VIS TEKUMALLA
______________________________________________________
krodhaH = anger; su+alpam = tiny, very little; sukham = happiness;
Anger is very little happiness (literal meaning).
Anger causes very little happiness.
There seems to be something wrong with this sanskrit sentence.

3. kadaLIvandhyA nyAyam.
This is used to draw a comparison between a person who has only one
significant contribution in his life and lives the rest of his life
off of that one contribution. That person is like a banana tree that
bears fruit only once in its life. I have read somewhere that even
Einstein was accused of being such a person, by no less than
Oppenheimer, and that too while delivering his eulogy at Einstein's
funeral. We all know that Oppenheimer was wrong.
While it's true that Einstein had no significant scientific contribution
after he moved to America, he had several contributions (not just one)
while in Europe.---VIS TEKUMALLA

5. ativR^iShTiranAvR^isShTiH shAlabhA mUShakAH shukAH.
pratyAsannAshcha rAjAnaH ShaDetA ItayaH smR^itaH..
Excessive rainfall, drought, locusts, rats, parrots, and (invasions by) neighboring
kings (pratyAsannAshcha rAjAnaH) are considered (smR^itaH) the six seasonal
calamities. How come those neighboring kings are included? In the olden days, kings in
India used to go on their "digvijaya yatras" starting on Vijayadashami (sometime in
October), and their fights used to cause a lot of problems for civilians. Also
October-November was the favorite period for those Afghans to descend on the Punjab
plains (and later to western UP) to pillage and plunder. Thus there was a seasonal
aspect to it.
(Whatever happened to all those parrots in India?) ---- VIS TEKUMALLA

ItayaH = calamities; smR^itaH = remembered
Too much rain, too little rain, the coming of moths, rats, parrots

destroy crops by eating them away. But kings are a calamity because
they are very difficult to please.---------SARADA SUSARLA

8. dhane vyaye cha pAtALejAmitrechAShTame kuje

jAmitre cha yadA sauri lagnevA hibuke.athavA
navame dvAdashechaiva kujadoSha.m na vidyate..
In Astrological parlance, when talking about places in horoscopes, the
12 houses are referred by their bhAvAs in the following order
(counter-clockwise from the first house - lagna): (1) lagna; (2) dhana;
(3) bhAtR^I; (4) mAtR^I; (5) putra; (6) shatR^I; (7) kaLatra; (8) AyuSh;
(9) bhAgya; (10) rAjya; (11) lAbha; (12) vyaya. Thus when someone says
that chandra (moon) is in kaLatra, it means that in that person's
horoscope the Moon occupies the 7th house.
The above listed names are based on the houses' bhAvAs, i.e., named after
the most significant effect that house will have on a person's life. In
addition, those houses also have their own discrete names. Three such
discrete names appear in this shloka - pAtALa the 4th house; jAmitra -
the 7th house, and hibuka - another name for the 4th house (to add to the confusion).
If there is not enough confusion already, the same houses are sometimes
referred to by their rAsi (zodiacal sign) names like mESha, vR^ishabha,
mIna, tula, etc;
Now the shloka. It talks about Kuja-dosham (a person with this problem
is known as Manglik in the North) a scary and annoying thing for those
who believe in it.
dhane = in the 2nd house; vyaye = in the 12th house; cha = and;
pAtAle = in the 4th house; jAmitre = in the 7th house; cha = and;
aShTame = in the 8th house; kuje = kuja, MangaLa, the planet Mars;
kanyA = unmarried woman, bride; bhartR^I = husband; vinashAya = for the destruction;
bhartR^iH = bridegroom; kanyA.m = bride; vinashati = destroys, kills;
jAmitre = in the 7th house; cha = and; yadA = when; sauri = shani, the planet Saturn;
lagne = in the 1st house; iva = just like, seems to; hibuke = in the 4th house;
athava = or; navame = in the 9th house; dvAdashe = in the 12th house;
cha = and; iva = it seems; kujadoSha.m = the deficiency (the problem)
caused by Mars's place in the horoscope; na = no, not; vidyate = there is.
If Kuja (MangaLa, the planet Mars) occupies the 2nd, 12th, 4th, 7th, or
the 8th house in a woman's horoscope, her husband will be dead (soon after marriage),
and if a man's horoscope displays a similar position for Kuja, his bride
will die (soon after marriage). If however, shani (the planet Saturn)
occupies the 7th, 1st, 4th, 9th, or the 12th house (in the same horoscope),
notwithstanding where Kuja is, there is no kuja-dosham in the chart
(the deficiency/problem caused by Kuja's position is completely eliminated).
This shani guy is not always bad:-)
There is also another antidote for the ill effects of Kuja's one particular
position in the horoscope. And that is:
saptamasthoyadA bhaumo guruNa.ncha nirIkShita.m
tadAtu sarvasaukhya.m syAnma.ngaLI doShanAshakR^it
If the indicated kuja-doSham is due to Kuja's position in the
7th house, it is completely eliminated if that house is under guru's (Jupiter's)
benevolent gaze in the person's chart. Then, notwithstanding Kuja's position
in the 7th, that woman will enjoy her life fully and in all luxuries and
always will be a sumangaLi (her husband will be alive as long as she is alive}.
An aside. Astrology says it is quite possible for people with kujadosham
to live normal lives. That is, if both the bride's and the groom's horoscopes
have the same kujadosham problem they cancel each other's problem. See
the following shloka:
eva.m vidhe kuje sa.msthe vivAho na kadAchana |
kArye vA guNabAhulye kuje vA tAdR^ishedvayoH ||
Here is my disclaimer - this is all I know. I am sure there are many more
exceptions in Astrology to the Kuja-dosham rule.------VIS TEKUMALLA
______________________________________________________________
kuje pAtAle, jAmitre, aShTame cha, dhane vyaye, kanyA bhartR^ivinAshAya
(bhavati), bhartR^iH kanyA.m vinAshati |yadA sauri jAmitre, lagne,
hibuke athavA, navame, vA dvAdashe (asti), (tadA) kuja-doShaM na vidyate |
kuja = born from the earth; the planet Mars; jAmitra = 7th lunar house;
pAtAla = 4th house; aShTama = 8th house; hibuka = 4th lagna or house, same as pAtAla;
dhane vyaye = in spending money; kanyA = bride; bhartR^ivinAshAya = for the fall or
destruction of husband;
bhartR^iH = husband; kanyAm vinashati = destroys the bride
yadA sauri = when Saturn is (in); jAmitre = in 7th house; lagne vA = in 1st
astronomical house;
hibuke = in the 4th lagna or house (i.e. pAtAla); navame dvAdashe cha+eva =
in ninth and twelth; kuja doSham = the ill-effect of kuja (planet Mars);
na vidyate = not found.
(If a marriage is performed) when Mars is in the 4th, 7th or 8th house,
the bride destroys the groom or vice versa via huge expenditures. However,
when saturn is in the 7th, 1st, 4th, 9th or 12th house, then Mars won't
have a bad effect (on the marriage) (even if Mars is in 4, 7 or 8 ??)
I might have thoroughly mis-interpreted the Sloka, so much that if somebody
gets married with my interpretation they could get into a lot of trouble :-)
The second half of the Sloka is tricky to prosify:
jAmitre cha yadA sauri lagnevA hibuke.athavA
navame dvAdashechaiva kujadoSha.m na vidyate..
The meaning changes drastically based on how we prosify this. To whom are
those 9th, 12th referring? My interpretation that they refer to sauri above
seems plausible. To interpret sauri lagne as "in the Sun's lagna", it has
to be saura-lagne, not "sauri lagne" Hence I used the "1st house" meaning
of lagna.
Since I have no clue about astrology, this is the best I could do.---SAI SUSARLA

When spending money and the seventh astrological house is weak and the

When Saturn is in the seventh, or birth sign, also ninth or twelveth,
the fault due to Mars is not ascribed.----VIKRAM SANTURKAR

(2) sauri lagnevA should be shaurirlagne vA
(3) kujadoSha.m na vidyate should be kujadoSho na vidyate
A bride having (in her horoscope)the planet Kuja (Mars) in the second,
twelfth, tenth, seventh, or eighth (rasi from Lagna) will cause the death
of her husband. (In the same way), if these posions be of the husband
(with similarly placed Mars), the bride will die.
If Saturn is in the seventh, in the ascendant (Lagna),
fourth, ninqdth, or twelfth, then the malady of Mars
(mentioned above) will not arise.

9. tauryatrika.m tALahIna.m chAlayetpuruShAdhamaH.
sapApI naraka.m ghoramAshu gachChati sAnvayaH..
taurya is the sound that comes out of a musical instrument; trika.m means
three things. So turya-trika.m can be interpreted as three things associated
with music - singing, instrument-playing, and dancing.
Thus, the shloka means: one in his singing, musical instrument-playing,
or dancing, transgresses the rules of rhythm, he is the lowest human
being (scum of the earth); he is a sinner; he will quickly go the worst
hell there is, and he would drag his whole lineage (his ancestors) with
him (to that hell). ----VIS TEKUMALLA

The despicable person [who is ignorant of timing beats] performs the
trio of song, music and dance, together with other such sinners, goes
directly to hell.-----VIKRAM SANTURKAR
______________________________________________________________________
If a lowly person indulges in a combination of three
(song, dance and instrumental music.) without the beat,
that sinner will instantly go to horrible hell with his family.---PK RAMAKRISHNAN

Before (obtaining your company), due to my unfulfilled yearning, the night
used to feel extremely long (due to agony). But if the same thing happens
(i.e., nights were as long) when I am in your company, I couldn't be happier.
Basically, he wants nights to be as long as they used to be before,
when he is in her company.-------SARADA SUSARLA

Before attaining the object of my desire, my night (3-yaamaa) moves like
300-yaamaa (i.e.passes very slowly). I will be very hapy if that slow movemnt
of night happens in union with you, Oh! Lovely Lady!
