A query - yamunAtIravihArI or yamunAtIravihAraH

[shankara]

Namaste!

I request the learned members of this group to help me in solving a doubt. Which of these 2 forms is correct? Or are both of them correct?

यमुनातीरविहारी or यमुनातीरविहारः

Please explain how their samAsa is formed.

shankara

यमुनातीरविहारः is from a Sahasranama of Srikrishna. More popular form is यमुनातीरविहारी. In wish to make sure that यमुनातीरविहारः  is grammatically correct. Hence the query.

Though yamunaatiiravihaarah is grammatically correct,  it does not apply to a

person.  yamunaatiiravihaarii applies to a person. If included in a Sahasranamam

to Krishna it is to be changed to yamunaatiiravihaarii.

Bhat Sir,

I was proof-reading a Srikrishna Sahasranama Stotra when I noticed this name of Srikrishna. Could you please confirm if "yamunAtIravihAraH" can be a name of Srikrishna? I would also like to know how its samAsa is formed.

[Subrahmanian R]

Namaste,

 

Generally viharii is used to specify one who resides [masculine] and viharini for feminine as in the Kriti

कनकशैल विहारिणी अंब कामकॊटि बाले

which refers to Kanchenjunga, the colloquial form of काञ्चनशृङ्गम् the golden peak.

Respectfully,

R Subrahmanian

[धनंजय वैद्य <deejayvaidya@yahoo.com>]

Either seems correct when referring to the person (kRShNa).
यमुनातीरविहारी is a tatpuruSha compound
यमुनातीरविहारः is a bahuvrIhi compound. (The problem is because we do not currently read saMskRta with svara accents. Without svara accents, this word could also be a tatpuruSha meaning "picnic on the bank of the Yamuna", rather than the bahuvrIhi "one who picnics on the bank of the Yamuna".)

Both are used in respect of Krishna, and it depends on the need of the lyrics:

Here it is यमुनातीरविहार, नवनीतदधिचोर, 

 

http://prramamurthy1931.blogspot.in/2012/05/lyrics-of-narayana-narayana-by.html

makes the alliteration melodious which is a music composition, by Bhadracala Ramadas.

while the other link I had already posted,

http://prramamurthy1931.blogspot.in/2012/05/lyric-of-yamuna-teera-vihaari-by.html

यमुनातीरविहारी बृन्दावनसञ्चारी

गोवर्द्धनोद्धारी गोपालकृष्ण मुरारी (यमुना…..)

makes it melodious with alliteration, than any Grammatical consideration as in the last word , मुरारी which is not strictly Sanskrit grammar binding.

In a stotra, as Sahasranama, both will make equal in meaning, but the difference will be in the नामावलिः - which is variably put into चतुर्थी with नमः, as @विहारिणे नमः or @विहाराय नमः।

as both are acceptable forms in the stotra. But preference will be ॒विहारी so that there is no room for any doubt whether it is bahuvrihi, or karmadharaya. And it is advisable to avoid such doubtful compounds except needed for श्लेष or यमक, by poetical consideration of the classical Sanskrit literature.

 न कर्मधारयो बहुव्रीहिप्रतिपत्तिकरः । ।काव्यालंकारसूत्र ५,१.७ । 

तेन विपर्ययो व्याख्यातः । । सूत्र ५,१.८ । ।

according to Vamana. 

[shankara]

Vaidyaji,

Thanks for the explanation. Could you please explain the role played by the swara accent in such cases? Does it help in recognizing the samAsa?

shankara
