Vimala From: sanskrit-boun...@cs.utah.edu [mailto:sanskrit-boun...@cs.utah.edu] On Behalf Of hn bhat Sent: Sunday, 4 October 2009 4:25 PM To: sanskrit@cs.utah.edu Subject: Re: [Sanskrit] sanskrit Digest, Vol 54, Issue 3 umasutam - Clarification . reg There are different legends accounting to different Purana-s and all do not agree each other. But they agree in that Ganesha was the son of Parvati. One of such story I find to support the adjective "paada-pa~NkajaM" directly relating to Ganesha also is possible: According the very well known Shiva-Pur?na version, the Shiva's wife, P?rvat? the Mountaineer, was disturbed once by her husband who entered the house, even though she was taking her bath. The goddess felt annoyed, because she didn't have any personal servant to guard her door. So, she rub her body skin and, with the perfumed unguents obtained, she molded the shape of a young boy, as glorious as daylight. Then, she granted him life and named him Ganesh, ordering that he should be on guard in front of her house. When the child intended to impede the great god to enter the house, Shiva enraged, transformed himself in his Rudra form and requested the to attack Ganesh. In the battle, Ganesh got his head cut off. Ascertaining the incommensurable disaster striking her son, P?rvat? was inconsolable. Unable to find the child head, Shiva grafted a elephant head on the dead body and gave him life again. Trying to repair his big mistake, he recognized Ganesh as his son and empowered him on all his servants; so he became "Ganapati". This is the version of Shiva Purana of the creation of Ganesha and how he became Gajanana. Now, coming to the point in question, Ganesha himself is ????? in its etymological sense, born out of dirt. We don't know from which part of the body Parvati got the dirt to mold the body of Ganesha, but if we assume it was from her feet, then the compound ???????? would mean born out of dirt from the feet, which qualify qualitatively the compound ???????? as the main object object of the predication ?????? which I hope would solve the question in a way. Only the word ?????????? has to be related to it as an adjective or making karmadharaya compound or ???????????. The other solution suggested by Ayurveda Narayanan also sounds well as adjective taking this compound as directly qualifying Gajanana. It can hold good in my interpretation also, to take ?????????? in the vocative. The rest being equal. Though I had heard this story in my childhood, I didn't know the original source for this. On googling, I found this story credited to Shivapurana. More stories could be found regarding the birth of Ganesha in this page: http://ganapati.perso.neuf.fr/anglais/amythes.html Now coming to the other solution, repeating the verb namaami, would yield to two parts which makes something uneasy. First bowing directly ?????, the second part again repeating the same as bowing at ????????, of ?????????? or as an independent expression addressing ??????????, I bow at your feet. Even though it is unsaid, bowing is done at the feet of the God, and the same is repeated again explicitly retaking the same verb. Isn't it redundant? In a devotee's view, it may not be redundant, as many as times, a devotee can prostrate before his deity. And this super solution washes all the criticisms raised in the verse. As student of language, only one has to hesitate and think over the feasibility of the interpretations in the verse. And, as for the other reading ??????-???????-????-?????? I think I need not comment anything than that it is a grammatically correct form. Might have been replaced by anyone for the other reading, which seemingly convey, Ganesha himself devoured by the essence of fruits Kapittha and Jambuu, which again interpreted Ganesha is devoured by the desire for the fruits ... ... .the meaning "desire" for "saara" I could not find in Monier Williams, even though it offers a case of homonym. The other solution to the existing reading, itself without distorting the meaning of "saara" has been already offered by some member which was already proposed by me. By the inclusion of this compound among the exceptional group "?????????" it can evade the function of the rule governing the ?????? in the Bahuvrihi compound. The group of gana is flexible one according to the Ganapatha also. So there is no issue with the grammatical incompatibility in this reading also. Anyhow thanks Mr. Hera, for providing a sweet voiced rendering with a different reading in the verse. For meaning, it will be a "beautiful food" made of Kapittha and Jamboo fruit, for eating may not be beautiful by itself or it has to be taken in literary meaning sweet or attractive to mind. Thanks once again to all scholars who contributed their opinions in this regard. With regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sanskrit-loving global family, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymF9myktxXo <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymF9myktxXo&hl=de> &hl=de In this cheerful rendering, we hear chAru-bhakShaNam instead of sAra-BhakShitam. With this shift from eaten to eating (sAra may remain from a grammatical point of view, I think), I personally see no grammatical incoherence. The syntactical structure seems to be a simple (S)-V-O structure (namAmi + 6 direct objects describing Lord Ganesha). Please correct me if I am wrong. By the way, its metre is vamshasthavilam, a 12-syllabled jagati with ja-ta-ja-ra pattern. Thank you for this sweet stuti. I have joyfully added it to my repertoire.

This is a slightly tangential comment. But I have to say, expressions such as foot-lotus or lotus-feet do not capture the native wordplay. Using English grammatical terms to talk about talking about words in Sanskrit (sic) is just as jarring. From recent discussions on the list, I gather that the original mode of instruction is to blame. (Sanskrit grammar books written in English). At any rate, I do not think it is difficult to pick up these terms in Sanskrit rather than trying to square the circle. That is just my opinion. alaM vistareNa.
