    वागर्थाविव सम्प्रुक्तौ वागर्थप्रतिपत्तये - जगतःपितरौ वन्दे पार्वतीपरमेश्वरौ

    We pray our Divine Parents- Lord Parameswara and Goddess Parvathi who remain combined in themselves as SPEECH and MEANING !

    May you both have Sapthapadhi as Quality Food, Quality Health, Quality Wealth, Quality Happiness, Quality Offspring, Quality Togetherness under all circumstances and Quality FRIENDSHIP !

  4. वागर्थाविव सम्प्रुक्तौ वागर्थप्रतिपत्तये

    जगतः पितरौ वन्दे पार्वतीपरमेश्वरौ

    kalidasa prayed, "The Devine parents Sri ParvathiParameshwara to guide & bless him with the power words and its meanings to gain/acquire knowledge and to use/club super words to get great meanings while scripting the treasure of literature (epics)."

    So by the grace of goddess Kalikaamaathe, kavi kaalidaasa became KAVI RATHNA means jewel of all kavi's.

    vAgartha - vAg+Artha = words & Meanings = Literature
    maatha+Pitha = Pitharow
    Samprukthow = Together or Intricate or inseparable
    Prathipatthaye = Acquire

    Based on how we divide or parse the words of the above sanskrit sloka, we get many more meanings and derive the names of deities like Lord Shiva, Parvathi maatha, Maha Vishnu, Sri Lakshmi, Bramha and Saraswathi maatha.

  7. The most beautiful analogy is given by the ever greatest poet. How a word and its meaning can never be separated, like that is the union of both.

  10. Jai Ma Pranam typo in the shloka, not ammpruktau, no r-kara amd u-kara, that form probably does not exist. sampRktau, R-kara, which in peninsular Bharat, is pronounced as ru, and in the north as ri, neither being the correct trilled RR. Mantra should not be chinna, but as whole and as perfect as humanly possible. Pardon me if I wrote in error. Hare Srinivasa

  11. Sound is important. Meaning is lateral.
    Every brain has different meanings for the same sound. (Sound=pronounciation).
    Secondly one cannot 100% write phonetic sanskrit using English.

  12. Heard this many times. Never understood it's meaning. Sai Depak mentioned the verse. I looked it up & found it here. Thank you. It made my day.
