Correct Anvaya of "maa nishada" sloka of Ramayana

[ramchander deekonda]

Respected Scholars,

I will be grateful if you could give us the correct parsing of the "maa nishaada" sloka and explain the verb patterns. Many Ramayana lovers , who are not sanskrit specialists, are confused with the popular anvayas of this verse.  Please help us. Jai Sri Ram.

मानिषाद प्रतिष्ठां त्वमगमः शाश्वतीः समाः। यत्क्रौञ्चमिथुनादेकमवधीः काममोहितम्।। (रामायणम्, बालकाण्डम्, द्वितीयः सर्गः, श्लोकः १५)

अर्थः-2- O Rama, you have established the tranquillity for ever, that you have killed one among the demon couple (Ravana, Kumbhakarna) who was infatuated by passion (with Sita).

The intended words are mā (niṣāda pratiṣhṭāṃ tvaṃ) gamaḥ śāśvatīḥ samāḥ…   ‘Hunter! You shall not attain success over the aeons… ’ This prohibitive aorist (P.3.3.175 māṅi luṅ) gives a perfect sense. But gamaḥ śāśvatīḥ samāḥ makes an eight syllable quarter which is avoided by reading agamaḥ which Pāṇini 6.4.74 prohibits by na māṅ yoge. Vālmīki’s is an ārṣa usage.

An evidence that Kṣemendra had understood agamaḥ as ārṣa usage comes from his paraphrasing in the Rāmāyaṇamañjarī mā niṣāda pratiṣṭhāṃ tvam ālabdhāḥ śāśvatīḥ samāḥ.

I am sorry for the wrongly typed 'eight syllable quarter'. Please read seven syllable quarter as typed below.

Respected Sir,

Rāmāyaṇamañjarī: mā niṣāda pratiṣṭhāṃ tvam ālabdhāḥ śāśvatīḥ samāḥ

What Kṣemendra is intending with ālabdhāḥ here?

We have labhi śabde to have lambhate in ātmanepada. Does āṅ + lambhate makes the meaning killing? Is there other meanings with the preposition āṅ?

And ālabdhāḥ and in which conjugation of the second person singular in active sense is intended here? Please advice.

Regards,

Narayanan

नमो विद्वद्भ्यः

मानिषाद प्रतिष्ठां त्वमगमः शाश्वतीः समाः।

 यत्क्रौञ्चमिथुनादेकमवधीः काममोहितम्।।

 (discussed in ध्वन्यालोकः - प्रथमोद्योतः) 

हे निषाद ! त्वं यत् क्रौञ्चमिथुनादेकं काममोहितम् अवधीः  शाश्वतीः समाः प्रतिष्ठां मा अगमः।

The verse has got three interpretations  applicable to निषाद (वाच्यार्थः) , श्रीराम(व्यङ्ग्यार्थः) and रावण (व्यङ्ग्यार्थः) --

1.निषादपरः अन्वयः -

o! Nisada ! do not live for many years as you have killed the male bird of the kraunca-couple, which has lust.

व्याख्यानम् --

here the word ’मा’ is an अव्ययम् (स्वरादिनिपात्मव्ययम् 1-1-37) and according to Nagesa listing of माङ् in स्वरादि is प्रक्षिप्त (लघुशब्देन्दुशेखरः)

 Usage elsewhere --

अरसिकाय कवित्वनिवेदनं शिरसि मा लिख मा लिख मा लिख (नैषधम्)

मा स्वयमुत्पाद्य (प्रतिमानाटकम् 1-10)

Some scholars do not touch मा and take माङ् , go for आर्षप्रयोगः or comment 'न माङ्योगे इति प्रायिकम् अडागमनिषेधः’। 

But wherever  there is मा + लुङ् , with अडाग्म - this is the सिद्धान्त।

निषादः - निषीदति पापम् अस्मिन् - नि + षद्ल् (विशरणगत्यवसादनेषु - भ्वादि - विशरणम्=हिंसा) - हलश्च (3-3-129) इति घञ्। ’सदिरप्रतेः’(8-3-66) इति षत्वम्।

(if it is निषादस्वर then - निषीदति मनः अस्मिन्)

2.श्रीरामपरः अन्वयः --

O ! Srirama ! since you have killed Ravana , who was the male partner and lusty , have had perennial fame for years.

व्याख्यानम् --

मानिषादः = सीतायाः आश्रयः - श्रीरामः 

"राघवत्वे’भवत् सीता रुक्मिणी कृष्णजन्मनि" (विष्णुपुराणम्) - लक्ष्मी एव सीता , विष्णोः रामावतारे ।

एवं ’श्रीराम राम रामेति’ - इत्यत्र ’श्रिया सीतया सहितः रामः’ - इति।

क्रुञ्चा = कुटिलगतिः , सा अस्यास्तीति क्रौञ्ची राक्षसी । तद्वंश्यः पुरुषः क्रौञ्चः = रावणः , पुंयोगे - तस्य पत्नी क्रौञ्ची मण्डोदरी - तयोः मिथुनम् क्रौञ्चमिथुनम् ।

3.रावणपरः अन्वयः --

O! cruel Ravana ! since you have separated either part of the Janakirama - couple, which is affectionate towards her husband , do not have the benefits of the boons of Brahma(such as kingdom of Lanka etc. for ever.

व्याख्यानम्--

निषादः = क्रूरः

due to राज्यपरित्याग , वनवास etc. Rama and Sita got क्रुञ्चत्व= कृशत्व = अल्पीभाव । So are called क्रौञ्चमिथुनम्।

तस्मात् क्रौञ्चमिथुनात् एकं काममोहितम् अवयवम् सीतारूपम् अवधीः।

अवधीः - in fact अपहरणम् is worse than वध for Rama - अद्वैतं सुखदुःखयोः।

धन्यो’स्मि

Dear Dr. Narayanan,

Many thanks for the mail. डु लभष् प्राप्तौ = भ्वादि.९७५. Add the आ without significantly changing the meaning. आ+लभ् – माङि लुङि. मध्यमपु.एकवचनं थास्। न माङ्योगे। आलब्धाः। ’मा आलब्धाः’ नैव आलप्स्यसे इत्यर्थः।    

Best wishes and greetings on Vaiśākhi

There is also a brilliant Samskrita essay by the Guru titled मानिषाद प्रतिष्ठाम् which gives as many as six benedictory meanings of the verse. A verse at the end of the essay goes that the Guru can give hundreds of benedictory meanings of the verse. I do not have a digital copy will share it when I find some time. 

Please find attached the essay on this verse by Jagadguru Rambhadracharya. This is typed in a haste and references are not cross-checked, so please excuse any typos.

Dear all,

You will find 6 interpretations of 'मा निषाद' from the शिरोमणि टीका, converted into beautiful interface by Dr. Devanand Shukl, Project officer, Maharshi Sandeepani Rashtriya Vedavidya Pratisthan, Ujjain, at

http://sanskrit.uohyd.ernet.in/mA_niSAd/

It is said that these 6 interpretations correspond to the 6 kandas.

For each interpretation, the anvaya, morphological analysis and the kaaraka anlaysis is given. To see the kaaraka analysis, click on the sentence link.

With regards,
Amba Kulkarni

[narayanan er]

Thanks, Madam, Excellent displays on the interpretations. Thanks to Dr. Devanand Shukl ji too. I liked the foot-note given too: सूचना प्राचीन काल में पाण्डुलिपियों के आलेख के आधार पर रामायण की शिरोमणि टीका में यह व्याख्या की गयी है। क्योंकि प्राचीन काल में शब्दों के बीच में स्थल एवं विराम चिह्नों का अभाव होता था। अतः विभिन्न रूप से सन्धि विच्छेद करके विभिन्न अर्थों को यथामति टीकाकार ने उद्धृत किया है।
