sanskrit puzzle No.4 answer
shloka repeated -
pashyaamyanyamudaarabhogaviSaye tulyaM na me ka~nchida-
pyannaH kohamivasti bhaajanamumaapatyAdarasyaapi- /last letter not readable)
madvat bhUtanaye mukAbjavikasattejA raNe kashshrutaH
pApin jalpa yathaaspR^ihaM mama punarmaunAdaro rochate //
Mr. Raman's reply.
PKR ji:
Here is my solution based on the revisions you kindly provided.
This puzzle was really tough. I knew that the solution lay in:
punar maunAdaro rochate ...
I split maunAdaro as 'mau na aadaro' meaning not noticing 'mau'. But then
there is no occurrence of 'mau' in the verse. After thinking for quite some
time it occurred that 'mau' may be the result of a vibhakti and voila! mau is
the saptami of 'mi' and 'mu'. (In all fairness 'mau' also means two 'ma' s
which lead me no where) I removed the letters 'mi' and 'mu' from the verse and
here is what I got!
pashya anya dArabhogaaviSaye tulyaM na me ka~nchid
api anyaH ko ha vaa asti bhAjanam ApatyAdara sthApitaH .
madvat bhUtanaye khAbjavikasattejA raNe kashshrutaH
pApinjalpa yathAspR^ihaM mama punar maunAdaro rochate ...
bhUtanaye = Hey Sita!
pashya = look
anya dArabhogaviSaye= in the matter of violating other's wives
tulyaM na me ka~nchid = there is none like me
api = also
anyaH ko ha vaa asti= another really or is he there?
bhAjanam Apatya aadara sthApitaH = a receiver of children's-support-established
(apatya bhaavaM aapatyaM tena aadareNa sthaapitaH)
(here it means:
There is no real glory of mine, except for what have been acquired through the
efforts of my children viz., Indrajit, Akshayakumara etc.,)
kha +abja+vikasat+tejA+raNe = kha kaachit shariiraat navadvaaraani atra
visheSheNa muutrarandhraM, abja apsu janita, vikasita tejaH yasya sa raNe
bhayaat balavat muutritaH iti arthaH
(khaH is one of the nine apertures in the body and here particularly it is the
urinary aperture and the water produced i.e., urine which blooms forcefully,
and hence one who urinates (from fear of) battle)
kashshrutaH madvat = Have you heard any one like me ?
Meaning clear indeed!
I look forward to the original solution as well as your clarification.
rAmaH
----------------------------------------------------------------
I am giving the reply as from the authour/commentator.
Sitas reply is contained in the line
pApin jalpa yathAspR^ihaM mama punar-maunAdaro rochate.
The word maunAdaraH has two meanings.
The first one is respect for silence.
The second (hidden meaning) is mau na AdaraH =
In the letter mu no respect, which means read deleting mu
in the first three lines of what Ravana said.
mau= in the letter mu (samptami of mu as in shambau)
Thus it becomes-
pashyAmyanydAraviSaye tulyaM na me kanchid
apyanyAh kohamivaasti bhAjanamaapatyaa darasyaapi
madvatbhuutanaye khaabjavikasattejaa raNe kashshrutaH
pasyaami = I find
anydAraviSaye = in the matter of other's wives
tulyaM na me kanchid = no one equal to me
api anyah = and who else
kohamivaasti = who is there like me
bhaajanam = recepticle
aapatyaa = for calamity
darsayaapi= and fear
madvat = like me
bhuutanaye = Oh Sitey
khaabjavikasattejaa. khabjam = sky lotus = nonexistent
vikasat = blooming, tejaa = brilliance
raNe kashshrutaH = who is wellknown in war
(ahameva vipatteH darasya cha asaadhaaraNyena
paatriibhuutaH ityarthaH)
khaabjam = aakaashakamalam iva vikasat teajaH
= non existent brilliance
Examples of non-existent things -
vandhyaapatyam (son of a barren woman)
shashaviSANam (a rabbit's horn)
aakaashakamalam (sky lotus)
This is a difficult puzzle.

IIT Madras is trying to recast Monier William's Sanskrit dictionary. It is
still in the offing. However this may be tried.

Subject: Kalidas - a poem?
Sanskrit gd has this page >
http://sanskrit.gde.to/doc_deities_misc/salutedawn.html at which this poem is
there with this note >> If anyone knows its origin, please send a note.
It is attributed to Kalidas. Can anyone say about its source and source book,
if it is of Kalidas.
--------------------------
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence;
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And Tomorrow is only a Vision;
But Today well lived makes every
Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, and every
Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn.
