Dear group, I don?t understand a verse that I found today in the Bombay
Mahabharata, and find the commentary on its first half-verse even more
confusing. It is from the Karnaparvan, but I now forget exactly where.
Anyway, here is the text:
taadRzaM pazyate baalo yasya satyam anuSThitam/
bhavet satyam avaktavyaM na vaktavyam anuSThitam//
The best sense I can make of this is:
?A childish man sees in that way [the way described in the preceding verses],
the man for whom what is [actually] done, is true; [but] the truth should be
unspoken, and what has been performed should not be spoken.?
Nilakantha?s commentary on the first half-verse is:
yasya yena hetunaa satyam eva satyatayaa anuSThitaM taadRzam eva pazyati
satyavaaditayaa anena hetunaa baalaH aJjaH//
Again, my best try:
?... for the reason that he sees the true to be what is done in actuality, for
that reason (because of the fact that he [naively] speaks of what[ever] is true
[satyavaaditayaa]) he is [called] childlike, ignorant.?
It seems to me that perhaps the yasya at the beginning of the sentence only
marks the point of the gloss?s departure within the verse, and that it does not
fit syntactically into the commentary, and that the commentary does not mirror
the syntax of the half-verse, being designed rather to express the explanatory
function of the relative clause in the half verse?
Thanks for any help.
Phillip

Can someone break down,
Bhavati Bikshan Dehi
>From my understanding Bhavati is a 3rd person singular, formation from the
>dhatu Bhu. Bhu stands for to be or to become.
Using that meaning, the sentence above doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks for the clarification.

Cute verse which I think suggests an amphibious rather than a purely acquatic
sea monster:

praviveza gajaaniikaM makaraH saagaraM yathaa//31//

hullo
what is the sanskrit word for "research"? "samshodhan" is widely used but
etymologically means something quite different - like purification.

Hi,
While reading taitrIopaniSad in zkSAvalli, the last few lines are: eSa
(H) AdezaH | eSa(H) upadeza(H) | eZA vedopanizat |
I think the last noun is pumlingam. Why the word ezA - feminine form
is used here?
thanks,
Jambunathan

hi
thanks for that. but the word widely used seems to be samshodhan - i wonder
why. institutions engaged in research call themselves samshodhan kendra,
sanstha etc.
anveshana is closer in meaning to "research", but still does not really
capture it exactly.
i believe there may be no exact word for "research" in sanskrit because the
activity of research is not really indigenous to the sanskrit traditions of
intellectual inquiry.
what then are the various aspects of /activites in the sanskrit intellectual
tradition? i can think of adhyayana, vimarshana, jignyasa (as in brahma
jignyasa etc.), vada-vivada, vitanda...
