So true! Your ideas are like diamonds.. .without the refining process, they are just a dirty rock, but by cutting away the impurities, they become priceless. 2 krumi kula citth laalaa klinnaha vigandhi jugupsitaha nirupama ras priityaa khaadan nara asthi niraamisham surapatim api s`vaa paars`vastaha vilokya na s`amkate na hi gashayati kshudroo jantuhu parigraha phalgutaam * ONCE ETHICAL DOWNFALL STARTS, IT WILL NOT STOP; IT WILL HAVE HUNDRED FACETS. The Ganga river started its downward journey of its self pollution. 1. From heavens to the head of S`hiva; 2. From Shiva's head to the Himalayas. 3. From the Himalayas to the earth. 4. From the earth to the Seas. 5. From the sea to the world beneath (pataalam).* *3 * *The poet deplores the human greed for money. The poet laments that humans crave for money even if there is a catastrophe. He gives examples. 1. Let the entire country, the human race fall in an abyss of condemnation to hell. 2. Let all the noble qualities cave in and collapse to even lower levels. 3. Let character fall from their higher cliffs. 4. Let the clan’s prestige be reduced to ashes. 5. Let valour be struck by lightning. If there is wealth, even if a person possesses all other things, they will not be as worth as straw.* jaatir yaatu rasaatalam guna` gan`ais tatra api adho gacchataat s`iilam s`aila tat`aat patatva abhijanas samdahyataha vahninaa s`aurye vairin`ii vajram aas`u nipatat arthoo astu naha keevalam yeen aikeena vinaa gun`as trun`a lava praayaas samastaa imee! 4 *Fate of a drop of water / Fate of an individual A drop of water when it 1. falls on a hot metal, it gets lost unnoticed. A person who befriends a rascal also gets lost without his name being heard by anybody; 2. falls on a lotus leaf, shines like a pearl; A person befriending a mediocre, can be a show, but will not achieve anything worthwhile. 3. falls in a pearl’s womb, becomes a pearl. A person befriending a good person, can himself become an achiever.* santaptaayasi samsthitasya payaso naamaapi na s`ruuyatee muktaakaar atayaa tad eeva nalinii patra sthitam raajate amtah saagara s`ukti madhya patitam tan mauktikam jaayate praayeen`aam aadhama madhyam ottama gun`aam samsargatoo jaayate * 5 Only the blessed will get all these three: 1. Loving parents and children; 2. Loving wife; 3. Equally amiable friends both in comforts and hardships.* yah priin`ayeet sucaritaih pitaram sa putro yad bhartur eeva hitam icchati tat kal`atram tan mitram aapadi sukhee ca sama kriyam yad eetat trayam jagati pun`ya krutoo labhantee K R IRS 16121 On Sat, 16 Jan 2021 at 10:22, N Sekar <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 1.
