NamoNamaha,
In India miscellaneous wines, spirits, Asavas, Arishtas are and were prepared
from various ingredients.
They are mentioned in Chanakya's Arthashastra, MahaBharat,Ramayana,Shaakuntala,
AyurVeda etc.
They used to be drunk from special glasses called GALLARKA and PANILA.
At some places the method of manufacture of these wines, spirits, Asavas and
Arishtas is also given.
Maireyakam is mentioned as the drink which the YADAVAS drank after they hastily
left DWARAKA in ships on account of bad and dangerous omens and landed on the
main land. They became inebriated.
It is well scripted that they fought amongst themselves. After they destroyed
all their weapons in the fight, they fought with MUSALAS or pestles.The
pleadings of Krishna and BalaRama to stop fighting were futile.
Those who survived this fight left the coasts of India with their MUSALAS and
went to foreign lands.
Later after centuries it is said that they returned as MUSALMANS and started
fighting again.
The alcoholic drink MAIREYAKAM on which they became inebriated is made from
SUGARCANE JUICE.
It can be compared to present day RUM.

Subject: [Sanskrit] Meaning of Madhu Maireyaka
Namaskaraha,
In the Uttarakanda of Valmiki Ramayan there is a Shloka
" Sita madhaya hastena Madhu Maireyakam Suchi " meaning Sita drank wine from
Rama's hands just as Indra gave suchi Amritah.
The Gita press translation gives that Maireyaka is wine. Can any one please
tell me whether
Maireyaka is wine or something else. Or is the sloka an interpolation.
Another dubious sloka seems to be in the Ayodhya Kanda where Sita promises
sura gatah sahasrani for Goddess Ganga once she returns safely to Ayodhya. IS
there any other meaning or is this too an
intrepolation.
Regards,
S.Karthik
Vandemataram

Dear MrulaTai,
"Sanskrtbhashayai aham spruhayami / spruhaye" will be in order.
The dhatu "Spruh" is 10th Gana, UbhayaPada.
Both RUCH and SPRUH expect Sampradan / Chaturthi / Dative case but in different
fashion.
This is what JagadishSir taught in the special class.
Regards,
BhalchandraKaka

Subject: Motto
Dear all,
I am taking up a project regarding the sanskrit mottos of various
organisations. I'll be glad if you ppl spare your valuable time and give your
precious suggestions about it in detail. Find enclosed a doc file of it.
Regards,
Mrudula
"When going gets tough, the toughs get going..."
N.B.:
Hon. Jagdish Indalkar while teaching root "Ruch" in special uses of cases
gave this example to us.
"Mahyam sanskritbhasha rochate|" and "Sanskritbhashayai aham roche|"
The later I use as my motto. I read Bhalchandrakaka's comments regarding it
at sanskritbhasha yahoogroup few days ago and I'm confused about it. I'll be
honoured if you ppl guide me in this regard.
