OM SHRI RAGHAVENDRAAYA NAMAHOM SHRI LAKSHMI NRUSIMHAAYA NAMAHDear Sarbani Ji,I have mentioned the word Katuka and not Katu and Tikshna and not Tikha.I used only Sanskrit words and not Hindi or any other language words.Thanks for your comments.With Shri Hari Vaayu Guru Naama Smarana,Ramadas Rao.On Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:58:42 +0530 sohamsa wroteHareRama Krishna DearSS,Missedout Katu. It’s a Sanskrit word, also used in many vernacular languagesacross India. It means caustic, specially in speech. Katubhashya, Katuvakya,Katukatha.BestRegards,SarbaniRathHomePage: http://sarbani.comSJC: http://.comCourses: http://sohamsa.comPublications: http://sagittariuspublications.com sohamsa [sohamsa ] On Behalf Of SoulSadhakFriday, August 15, 2008 12:31 AMsohamsa Subject: Re: Re : Salt Karaka - Shani ?/Murali Dear All,wrt translation for words "Katu" and "Tikta", i believethere is some confusion - "Katu" in hindi means Bitter (also, as in katu vaani-कटुवचन or katu vachan - कटु वाणी- meaning use of bitter speech or use of bitter words/language) and "Tikta" (or 'teekha'-तीखा orteekshna-तीक्ष्णas called in Hindi or 'tikkhata' as called in Marathi) means that which has chillies - so, means Pungent (though pungent would also include sharp or intense tastes like that of peppers, garlic etc).At many places (if one searches the net), the reverse is often seen to be mentioned - i don't know why, but anyone having known Hindi language would be aware of the correct meaning of these words.Hope it helps.SS.sohamsa ,GWBrennan wrote:>> Dear Ramadasrao,> > That's really interesting, but I think you have missed out a bit from the > translation - Amla or sour is for Venus - Bhrigu and Katuka or hot is for Mars > - bhauma.> > Kind regards> > Gordon>
