Anubandham - Suppl. 40 verses, V. 36 Study Group

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri Alan,

 

In this verse Bhagavan uses some unique phrases in tamil.

 

What Sri Chadwick has translated as

 

'the ghost of arrogance'

 

is the tamil phrase

 

"patru madap paiy" (PMP)

 

which literally translates into

 

the ghost (paiy) of attachment (patru) to idealogy (madam - to pronounced with

'a' as 'u' in cup)"

 

The word 'madam' may also be translated to religion, religious idealogy etc.

 

Another phrase used by Bhagavan here is

 

"SuTru pala Sindai vAi nOi"

 

which may be translated as

 

"wandering-many-thoughts-and-mouth-disease"

 

or as

 

"wandering mind and mouth diesease" (WMMD)

 

The third phrase used in this verse by Bhagavan is

 

"SIr (Seer) TEDi ODal" (STO)

 

which may be translated as

 

"Running afer Wealth".

 

The three failings that intellectuals (scholars) need to watch out are, thus

 

the ghost of PMP,

 

the disease of WMMD,

 

and the temptation of STO.

 

Bhagavan has summed up beautifully, the three failings that scholars are prone

and from which the uneducated are saved, in this verse.

 

Thank you for this post that gave a wonderful opportunity to dwell on Bhagavan's words.

---Dear Suri,thank you for these elucidations ,it shows the value of a Study

Group .The

Supplement is not widely known and does not seem to have received as much

"scholarly' attention as

his other works .Perhaps this is ablessing in disguise,bearing in mind the tenor

of the verse.

..All love , in His Grace ,Alan
