MPY - C.S.Patels Interpretation

Dear

 

 

 

v I knew Patels accuracy in translation though he has erred once

which he had rectified in his article in Ramans mag & also in his book.

It takes great COURAGE and true humility to accept ones mistakes

especially if one is regarded as a Sanskrit Scholar of Rare variety

having translated very rare shlokas of Chandra Kala Nadi (Deva Kerelam)

where even R. Santhanam had made mistakes

 

v He saw the verse and said Sastri's translation was correct

And Lagnendrapi was Lagna OR Moon and not AND Moon. I asked him to pls

re-see the article with magnifying glass (he is 91) as I would be

quoting him in front of 500 odd people, so he thought on it and said

CORRECT.

 

v After few mins he said do not waste ur time on MPY period

 

v Patel's geniousity in sanskrit I have seen very closely

with how much detail he pays & tough words how he interprets. Ofcourse a

man who used to speak normal conversation in sanskrit with his wife, a

man who sings every shloka, and meditates on them is in a different

league and I couldn't argue with him further on correctness or

otherwise of his translation.
