CHAPTER 11

 

ON THE COMPATIBILITY OF JNANA AND SIDDHIS

 

Professor K.Swaminathan and Sri Visvanatha Swami Translation

 

>From 3 to verse 15 , when the original question is recalled , the Muni

poetically and exuberantly

sings the glories of the Maharshi , his Sad Guru .This translation, as are all

the others, is in

prose and therefore cannot fully recapture the beauty of the Muni's Sanskrit .

 

10.Those learned in the Vedas say you are Brahmarshi Sanatkumara.

Those learned in the Agamas acclaim you as Subrahmanya, the chief of Gods.

 

11.Only the names differ, not the person.

Sanatkumara and Skanda are in reality but synonyms for you .

 

12.Once before born as Kumarila,the best of Brahmins, you re-established the

Dharma propounded in

the Vedas.

 

i3.Oh Bhagavan, when Jains caused confusion in the Dharma, you came down as

Jnanasambandha in

Dravidadesa and established the path of devotion.

 

Versification.

 

Vedic Sages praise thee as Sanatkumara,

Scriptural scribes claim thee as Subrahmanya.

Synonymously all hail thee as Lord Skanda!

Best of Brahmins, bright Kumarila reborn,

You restored our Dharma, fire flame of Vedic dawn.

Among doubting Jains in Dravidadesa, your descent

Did clear the inward path, as Jnanasambandha sent.

Oh glorious One! who guards our Dharma here on Earth

From those fixed in scriptural learning’s arid dearth.

===============================================================

Ramana Gita [Translation & Commentary by AR Natarajan]

Chapter 11 `On Compatibility of Gnana & Siddhis'

 

V10

Those learned in Vedas say you are Brahmarishi Sanatkumara. While

those steeped in

Agamas acclaim you as Subrahmanya, the chief of Gods.

V11

Only the names differ, not the person. Sanatkumara and Skanda are

only synonyms

you.

V12

Once before you were born as Kumarila, the best of Brahmins and re-

established the dharma set out in the Vedas.

V13

When there was confusion in dharma you were born in Tamil land as

Jnana Sambhanda and established the path of devotion.

V14

O glorious one! You have once again come back to earth to proclaim

knowledge of Brahman obstructed by those satisfied with scriptural

learning only.
