Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Dear members,please accept adiyel's namaskarams.Ithank sri.vinjamoor venkatesh swamy for his response.As i mentioned in my previous mail,i've now posted the ramayana thani slokam starting with "vibishana saranaagathi". Uddha kaaandam.sargam 16:slokam 1 "sunivishtam hitham vaakayam uktavantham vibishannam apraveeth parusham vaakyam ravanaha kala chothithaha" Meaning: Ravana the one induced/provoked by yama uttered harsh words towards vibishanna who adviced ravana with sweet words and in a manner that would highly benefit/protect ravana. Adiyel had given the exact tamil translation to the members for their better under standing. sunivishtam:sevikku iniya sol hitham:nanmai payakka koodia vaakyam:sotrodar uktavantham:sonnavanaana vibishanam:vibishananai apraveeth:sonnaan parusha vaakyam:kadumaiyaana vaarthaigal kala chthithaha:yamanaal thoonda pattavanaai As far as giving advice to someone is concerned, one may not hear the substance if it is not sweet to one's ears. secondly, even if the words are sweet to hear, the person who remains adamant,indifferent may not listen to it,and in that case, the advice maynot get into his head. BUt in both the circumstances mentioned above,vibishana framed sentence in a way that they were not only sweet to hear but also woould percolate into ravana's head. Here vaalmiki rishi,expresses his great distress that 1.how could ravana become so impatient atleast to hear such sweet words! 2.Even if he had ignored such sweet words,how could it be possible for him to turn a deaf ear to such an advice that was llife-saving! Itereya aaranyakam(3-2-6)says such kind of advice should be made only to a person, 1.who always lies at the feet of his acharyan. 2.who did atleast one year of sisrushai to his acharyan. It says"na samvatsara vaasine prapruyaath" But as vibishana could not stand to see his brother going in a destructive path, antagonizing with rama,warned him several times about the aftermath of his actions. Ravana doubted vibishana's words as to whether it was aaaptha vaakyam or not since vibishana stood far away from ravana, neverthless,ravana must have believed vibishana as he was none but his own brother"braatha sva moorthirathmanaha"-meaning:brother being the typical identity of oneself. Instead ravana startred taunting vibishana and uttered harsh words that were meant only to an enemy. Adiyel would like to conclude here with first half portion of the vyaakyaanam and will post the remainnig part in the next mail as the reader may not have time to go through a lengthy mail like this. Adiyel is wholly responsible for any mistakes. Adiyel ramanuja daasyai, srilatha. Health - your guide to health and wellness http://health.
