mAnasa-taraMgiNI: Some cameos from elementary Hindu education

[Ramakrishna Upadrasta]

namaste,

Here is a nice conversation from between shiva and paaravati from
"mAnasa-taraMgiNI", (a fascinatingly scholarly blog I follow).

I highly recommend sanskrit and cultural enthusiasts to the entire index at
http://manasataramgini.wordpress.com/the-complete-index/

I have spent entire weekends reading the entries from the index. Here
is one more great entry

Note: please read the blog only if you are open to the truth being
said as it is (without any liberal bias:).

My namaskaarams to the blog author whoever he is.
namaste
Ramakrishna

[श्रीमल्ललितालालितः]

Thank you, for sharing these links, upadraShTA jI.

श्रीमल्ललितालालितः

[hnbhat B.R.]

The Vaishnavaite version of the same wrod game is here:

 

कोऽयं द्वारि? हरि: प्रयाह्युपवनं शाखामृगस्यात्र किम्!
कृष्णोऽहं दयिते बिभेमि सुतरां कृष्णादहं वानरात्॥
मुग्धेऽहं मधुसूदन: पिब लतां तामेव तन्वीं अले
इत्थं निर्वचनीकृतो दयितया ह्रीतो हरि: पातु व:॥

This is  the  background link: Radha is waiting for  Krishna eagerly. But
Krishna does not appear . While Radha is feeling  dejected as well angry and
eager to have a chance for taking lovely revenge, she hears the  hitting
sound at the door.

``Who is at door?’’ ``Hari’’. ``Go   forest. Being a monkey, what the
business you have here?’’

(Hari means Vishnu and monkey )

``Hi, beloved, I am Krishna’’ ``If so, I panic  when I  see a  black
monkey’’.

(Here Krishna means black. In the first conversation Radha makes Krishna a
monkey. In this second reply she makes him black monkey!)

``O  innocent, I am called Madhusudana’’ ``O bee, go to the same creeper  to
suck  nectar’’.

(Madhusudana has two meanings: 1.The slayer of the demon Madhu=Vishnu.2 The
sucker of flower-nectar=bee. )

May Hari who made   *nirvachana*(1.subject to  tricky word derivation2,
speechless ) and ashamed by Radha protect you.

[Radha kindles Krishna when he tries to  self introduce by using different
names.]

 

 

And a more similar one is here:

 

pun.
अङ्गुल्या कः कवाटं प्रहरति कुटिले माधवः किं वसन्तो
नो चक्री किं कुलालो न हि धरणिधरः किं द्विजिह्वः फणीन्द्रः ।
नाहं घोराहिमर्दी किमसि खगपतिर्नो हरिः किं कपीन्द्रः
इत्येवं गोपकन्या प्रतिवचनजितः पातु वः चक्रपाणिः ॥

radha- who taps the door with the finger?
krishna- I am madhava here.
(the word madhava also means cupid or manmatha or vasantha)
Radha- is that vasantha?
Krishna – I am the one with the chakra or wheel.
Radha- then are u kulaala or the potter? (potter also has wheels)
Krishna- no I am the one who carry this world (dharanee dharah)
Radha – are you the two tongued serpent king? (it is beleived that adisesa carries this world)
Krishna – I am ghora ahi mardi or the killer of snake (ahi means snake)
Radha – are you the king of birds or khagapati ? ( that is garuda)
Krishna – no I am Hari( the word hari also means monkey)
Radha – are you the monkey?

oh let the lord who was won by radha in the conversation protect us.
