Guest guest Posted March 21, 2000 Report Share Posted March 21, 2000 Krishna the receipient of all salutations --------- AkAshAt.h patitaM toyaM yathA gachchhati sAgaraM | sarva deva namaskAraH keshavaM prati gachchhati || As all the water fallen from the skies goes to the sea, similarly salutations to any demigod finally reach Keshava ( Krishna ). Good Man's Heart ---------------- sajjanasya hR^idaya.n navanIta.n yadvadanti kavayastadalIkaM | anyadehavilasatparitApAt.h sajjano dravati, no navanItaM || Poets say that the heart of a good man is like butter, but that is not correct. The heat (frustration/sorrow/ etc.) residing in another body does not melt butter, but it does melt the good man. Desire ------ niHsvo vashhTi shataM shatI dashashataM lakshaM sahsrAdhipaH laksheshaH kshitipAlatAM kshitipatishchakreshatAM vAJNchhati | chakreshaH punarindratAM surapatiH brAhmaM padaM vAJNchhati brahmA shaivapadaM shivo haripadaM chAshAvadhiM ko gataH || The penniless man wishes for a hundred, the one who has hundred wants a thousand, the one with a housand , a lakh. The one with a lakh wants to be the king, the king wants to be the emperor, and the emperor wants to be Indra (king of Gods), Indra wants Brahma's position, Brahma Shiva's and Shiva VishhNu's ... who has ever been able to kill desire ? Glories of Great Man -------------------- nindantu nItinipuNA yadi vA stuvantu lakshmIH samAvishatu gachchhatu vA yatheshhTaM | adyaiva vA maraNamastu yugAntare vA nyAyyAtpathaH pravichalanti padaM na dhIrAH || Whether the philosophers praise him or criticize, whether Lakshmi enters the house or goes away as she wishes, whether death is today itself or after an eon, great men never step a foot away from the path of justice. Sloka about Lord Shiva ---------------------- svayaM maheshaH shavshuro nageshaH sakhA dhaneshashcha suto gaNeshaH | tathApi bhikshATanameva shambhoH balIyasI kevalamIshvarechchhA || Himself the great lord, his father in law the king of mountains, his friend the king of wealth, his and his son the lord of the gaNas. even then roaming around begging for food is Shiva's destiny, only God's wish is powerful ... Glories of Teacher ------------------ adhigatya guroH GYAnaM chhAtrebhyo vitaranti ye | vidyA vAtsalya nidhayaH shikshakA mama daivataM || The teachers who distribute knowledge among the students after getting it from their gurus, and who are storehouses of love and knowledge, are indeed like God to me. Krishna's qualities are beyond description --------- asitagirisamaM syAt.h kajjalaM sindhu pAtraM surataruvarashAkhA lekhanI patramurvI | likhati yadi gR^ihItvA shAradA sarvakAlaM tadapi tava guNAnAM Isha pAraM na yAti || The ink may be like a black mountain, the sea may be the inkpot, a branch of desire tree may be used as a pen, and the whole earth be used as the paper. If even Goddess Sarasvati writes for all the time using all this material, even then, O Krishna, she will not come to the end of describing Your good qualities.
