goShThyAH sabhyAH:
namaste.
Are there different shades or nuances of meaning derived from the following three
statements? To me they appear to say the same thing.
1. kR^iShNa.m vinA rAdhA na jIvati
2. kR^iShNena vinA rAdhA na jIvati
3. kR^iShNAt vinA rAdhA na jIvati
Thank you.
...Vis Tekumalla

Mr. Raman's reply
Shloka 17
parikSINAlasyaH samarabhuvi rakSaHkulapatiH
salajjaH svastutyAM amala-hita-mArgaika-pathikaH .
praNamyastrIlabhyaH sumukhi vilasatkIrtiriti cha
tato nAhaM kiM re$dhama muhuralaM tvAM shrutavatI..
My parsing and interpretation:
Sita says:
re$dhama muhuralaM tvAM shrutavatI..
re$dhama = hey degenerate!
tvAM shrutavatI = I have heard you
muhuralaM = muhu: a+laM = again without 'lakaraM'
The shloka becomes:
parikSINAsyaH samarabhuvi rakSaHkupatiH
sajjaH svastutyAM ama-hita-mArgaika-pathikaH .
praNamyastrIbhyaH sumukhi visatkIrtiriti cha
tato nAhaM kiM
parikSINAsyaH = parikShiNa AsyaM yasya = One who has a wasted or emaciated face
samarabhuvi = on the battle ground
rakSaHkupatiH = rAkShasAnAM ku pathiH = bad lord of the Raakshasas
sajjaH svastutyAM = adorned self praise (flattery)
ama-hita-mArgaika-pathikaH = sickness placed path traveller i.e., one who is
travelling in the path of sickness (sick thoughts)
praNamyastrIbhyaH = sa praNamati strIbhyaH = one who bows down to women = grovels to
women
sumukhi = hey pleasant faced!
visatkIrtiH = sat varaM kIrti nAsti tasya = one without good fame
iti cha
tato nAhaM kiM = Am I not one like that?
Meaning clear indeed!
I noticed that 'lakaaraM' can be removed in the rest of the shloka too. Sita's reply
becomes:
re$dhama muhuralaM = re$dhama muhura = you confounded degenerate! (the dhaatu muH =
confound)
rAmaH
Solution as given by the authour/commentator.
Mr.Raman’s reply is mostly correct except the following.
sajjah = expert (in self praise)
a-mahita-maargaika-pathikaH = travelling on a path
not suited to noble people.
The comment given by him last “muhura” etc. does not appear
to be correct.
