चायोपाख्यानम् a खण्डकाव्य by Dr Ramakrishna Pejathaya, CIF

[Nagaraj Paturi]

I received  a juicy Sanskrit poem by Dr Ramakrishna Pejathaya of Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth from the poet himself.He is an avadhaani in Sanskrit, with a sweet flow of mellifluous poetic composition in Sanskrit. For me all these are examples of vibrant modern day LIFE of Sanskrit: (Hope emphasis on LIFE is self-explanatory to at least those who are aware of the contemporary discussions. 

Sharing it for the relish of the sahridayas.

  

[Ganesh R]

This is most welcoming Sir. Dr. Pejattaya is a good friend of mine and his knowledge of jyautisha is of a high order. He wields his facile pen in classical Kannada too. This poem of him is a fine testimony of his idiomatic and chaste language.

चायोपाख्यानमेतद्धि मधुरं मधुराक्षरम् ।

आकण्ठं चायवत् पीत्वा मनो मे मोदते भृशम् ।।

सानन्दमभिनन्दनं कविवर्याणां पेजत्तयमहोदयानाम् । मराठीभाषायाम् "चहा" इति चायनामधेयम् । ततोऽस्माकं कश्चित् सुहृद् चहामाहात्म्यं वर्णयितुमेवं कथयति स्म - भगवतापि गीतायाम् "सर्वस्य चाहम्" इत्युक्त्वा चहामाहात्म्यमेव दर्शितमिति । "परिहासविजल्पितं सखे परमार्थेन न गृह्यतां वच:" । मराठीभाषायां प्रह्लाद-केशव-अत्रे इति नाम्ना प्रसिद्धेन कविना "कषायपेयपात्रपतितमक्षिकां प्रति" इत्याख्यं हास्यकाव्यं विरचितम् ।

Excellent composition by Dr Ramakrishna Pejathaya.

Need a small clarification:

Verse 10 has 

durvidhir bahuguṇam balīyasī.

I guess (dur-)vidhi is masculine;

in which case balīyasī , feminine, may not accord with it.

Does it need some replacement, then,

or have I misunderstood something?

[K S Kannan]

Further.

Verse 25 has 

tām samāśvasan.

Root samāśvas means, as far as I know, "to take heart";

has it been used here in the sense of samāśvāsayan then?

Or is it a case of antarbhāvitaṇyartha?

Please clarify.

[Ashok Gudsoorkar]

Many thanks Dr Paturi.

It will be indeed very nice if Dr   Paturi or any other scholar can write a small Introduction in English for the poem. It will certainly help a good comprehension. 

May we know what is the metre(वृत्त/छन्द) used for the poem?

Dear Sri Ashok Gudsoorkar-ji,

The professor-poet while sending the poem to me wrote the following:

I am very happy to share my खण्डकाव्य titled चायोपाख्यानम्. It is composed in the Rathoddhataa metre and got published recently in Samskrita Pratibha. I am looking forward for your comments and guidance.

Sharing it with BVP list members was my idea. With the poet's permission, I shared it here.

You may see that the metre is mentioned as Rathoddhataa.

Rathoddhataa is one of the eleven syllable vritta metres. 

The gaNa-s are : ra, na, ra, va ( _ U)

It runs as नानना ननन नानना नना 

You may sing it as नाननान नननान नानना also. 

It has four lines in this rhythm. 1- ārōhaṇa 2-avarōhaṇa 3- ārōhaṇa 4-avarōhaṇa At the end of the 2-ava2-avarōhaṇa there is a pause leaving expectation for continuation. At the end of 4-avarōhaṇa, there is a concluding fall. 

It is a humorous narrative titled as cāyamāhātmyam or cāyōpākhyānam. upākhyānam, in fact, makes it lōk like a sub-narrative of a bigger one, say a purāṇa or something like that. To make it look that way is , again, for humor only. The humor in the word māhātmyam does not need explanation. 

The story is beyond the scope of this mail.

[K S Kannan]

I thank Dr Ramakrishna Pejathaya for the simplicity and generosity he evinced in easily admitting the mistake I pointed to in his composition, even though it is a minor one:

eko hi doṣo guṇa-saṁnipāte! 

After all, who errs not? vidvāṁso'pi vimuhyanti!

Rare are people, however, who can admit thus plainly, taking no offence whatsoever; even scholars tend to cover up their errors via circumlocutory expressions and scholastic explanations. 

May Dr. Pejathaya,  a poet as well as a scholar, be blessed by Muse even more! And may he pen longer poems on noble themes that would be cherished for long!

Dear Paturiji,

I am extremely thankful to you for the detailed explanation about the metre which served my purpose. Reading/reciting the poem two times could help me comprehend. My respects to the poet Dr Ramakrishna and yourself.

My sincere thanks to Prof Madhav Deshpande also whose post helped me recollect the poem "कषायपेय-पात्र-पतित-मक्षिकेप्रत" by PKAtre and understand this poem also. The first stanza in it, is, interestingly in Sanskrit:

"हा हन्त हन्त नलिनीं गजमुज्जहार !

 अयि नरांगमलशोणित भक्षिके

 जनुविनाशकजन्तुसुरक्षिके

 अपरिक्षितहारक    तक्षिके

 क्या हुआ अफ़सोस मक्षिके !"

Prof Deshpande may correct me for any error. Thanks again.

Dear Ashokji,

     Here is the beginning of P. K. Atre's poem कषायपेयपात्रपतितमक्षिके प्रत.  This is included in his collection of poems titled झेंडूची फुले.  Also see his twist on हा हन्त हन्त नलिनीं गज उज्जहार turned into हा हन्त हन्त नलिनी गजमुज्जहार.

I had sent the pdf of Cāyopākhyāna to my sister (Dr. Manik Thakar) in Pune.  She is also a Sanskritist who used to teach at the Pune University.  She enjoyed the Cāyopākhyāna, and remembered that one of our Sanskrit teachers in Pune used to say: चहापानं मनुष्याणां केवलं सुखवर्धनम्.  The standard signs in Marathi on tea-shops describe their tea as being अमृततुल्य.
