Guest guest Posted May 2, 1999 Report Share Posted May 2, 1999 Sriman Mani has commented on what Hri may imply. Most commentaries, I have read, simply translate Hri as modesty. Sriman D.V. Gundappa (DVG), a great Kannada writer, philospher and scholar- also translates Hri as modesty and goes on to comment that it is only most appropriate that the embodiments of wealth (Sree/Lakshmi) and modesty (Hri) be found inseperable as consorts of Vishnu. In the Vedic injunctions, we hears: Sriyaa Deyam, Hriyaa deyam.. (give in plenty, give with modesty). On a different note, DVG translates VIRAAT as VARIETY. Likewise, I feel OM and OMNI may be related. Sincerely, Daasan, Koti Sreekrishna Tatachar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
