Hi members,
The following is from " A practical Grammar of the Sanskrit Language"
by Monier Williams. I am posting a few sentences from a story of "the
Sage and the Mouse" from the Hitopadeza. He has also the analysis of
this. I post this so that members can try to parse the excerpt to help
in their understanding of the most wonderful language saMskRtam. I try
to use Harvard - Kyoto script. If it is inconvenient I will change
that.
SCRIPT:
a A i I u U R RR lR lRR e ai o au M H
k kh g gh G c ch j jh J
T Th D Dh N t th d dh n
p ph b bh m y r l v z S s h
Translate and give the grammatical structure ( namely parse) each word
in these two sentences. I will post Prof.Monier's analysis after a few
days.

> All the Upanishads are in the question and answer form.
> The Shishya or disciple asks a question usually about Adhyatma, Atman,
> Paramatman, Brahman, Neeti, Upasana etc.
> The Guru or teacher or the seer answers these questions from the DARSHAN
or
> the view he got from the depth of his meditation.
> The ShreeMadBhagawadGeeta is also in the form of Arjuna's questions under
"
> ARJUNA UWAACHA " and Krishna's answers under " SHREEBHAGAWAN UWAACHA ".
One

> " SthitaPradnyasya Kaa Bhaashaa Samadhisthasya Keshava " in the 2nd
Adhyaya.
> This is about the definition of a balanced personality. Please read the
> comprehensive answer from the original. Nothing is left to doubt.
> From these questions one can gauge the high moral level already attained
by

> Upanishads enjoin one to work till the very end one's life. KURWANNEVA
IHA
> KARMAANI JIJEEWISHAYT SHARADM SAMAHA ! says Eeshopanishad.
> The Upanishads enjoin one to live a full life by doing the righteous deeds
> with SHRADDHA or conviction for self and the society.
> The Upanishads enjoin RIGHT CONDUCT or DHARMA for NEETI or the ART OF
LIVING

contradictions
> like Karma and Dnyana i.e. performing both ACTION AND KNOWLEDGE.
> There is no idol worship in Upanishads nor do they mention any Gods
