* bhArgava is the family name of shukra,

the son of bhRgu,

created by doubly expanding the first vowel

and diminishing the final vowel of the paternal name.

so bhRgu-a -> bhargu-a -> bhArgu-a -> bhArgav-a.

it is difficult to reconcile this formation with the common pronunciation

of the retroflex vowel <R> as "ri" or "ru";

rather, the tongue should be turned (but not clicked)

in the typical NAmerican manner.

in like manner rAma,

the descendant of raghu,

is called raghu-a -> rAghu-a -> rAghav-a rAghu-a rAghava.

~m. 6. May you be blessed! I am going in the direction of my liking when someone’s mind goes towards a certain thing, that thing will not become unliked.

~sv.16-17 bhRgu was delighted to see his son thus resurrected from the dead and fondly embraced him, smiling happily all the while.

~vlm.16. The father then embraced the revived body of his son, and shed a flood of his affectionate tears upon him; as the high risen cloud washes the mountain top with showers.

~sv.18. The feeling of affection at the thought, "This is my son" overcame even the sage bhRgu; this is natural as long as there is body-consciousness. Both of them rejoiced at this happy re-union.

~m. 16-18. Then the father embraced his son with great affection like a cloud embracing a mountain.

~vlm.24. They both continued as the living liberated guides of men, by their knowledge of all that was to be known; and pre-serving the equanimity of their minds, and the steadiness of their dispositions, amidst all the vicissitudes of time and place: (and the changes of their fortune and circumstances).

~sv.25 In course of time, Sukra became the spiritual preceptor of the demons; and his father bhRgu became one of the sages of highest wisdom.

~vlm.25. In course of time Sukra obtained the preceptorship of the demons, and Bhrigu remained in his patriarchal rank and authority among the sons of men (mánavas).

~VA: they burnt the body of twiceborn bramin of samanga river, for who does not uphold world-accepted customs? ~AS: I agree. ~VA: what is the form and splitting of atiSThadanAmaye? ~AS: It is atiSThat anAmaye (the t-> d is sandhi change). I think you would get it now? (anAmaye pade atiSThat).

~m. 26 Thus Sukra, who originally lived in that Supreme state of self, slipped into other lower states due to a loss of memory of his original state.

~sv.26 Such is the story of the sage Sukra; who on account of his infatuation with a nymph, wandered in countless wombs.

~vlm.26. Thus the son of Bhrigu, who was born as Sukra at first, was gradually led away from his holy state by his thought of the heavenly nymph, and subjected to various states of life to which he was prone; (by the bent of his mind and inward pivities*).

BHRGU AND HIS BHÂRGAVA

 

*bhArgava is the family name of *zukra, the son of *bhRgu,

"bhArgava" is created by doubly expanding the first vowel of *nhRgu

so bhRgu-a - bhargu-a - bhArgu-a - bhArgav-a.

it is difficult to reconcile this formation with the common pronunciation

of the retroflex vowel <R> as "ri" or "ru";

rather, the tongue should be turned (but not clicked)

as a retroflex;

in like manner rAma,

the descendant of raghu,

is called raghu-a - rAghu-a - rAghav-a.

BHRGU AND HIS BHÂRGAVA

 

*bhArgava is the family name of *zukra, the son of *bhRgu,

"bhArgava" is created by doubly expanding the first vowel of *bhRgu

so bhRgu .a  . bhargu .a  . bhArgu .a  . bhArgav .a.

it is difficult to reconcile this formation with the common pronunciation

of the retroflex vowel <R> as "ri" or "ru";

rather, the tongue should be turned (but not clicked)

as a retroflex;

in like manner rAma,

the descendant of raghu,

is called raghu .a  . rAghu .a  . rAghav .a.

*bhArgava is the family name of *zukra, the son of *bhRgu,

"bhArgava" is created by doubly expanding the first vowel of *bhRgu

so bhRgu.a. bhargu.a. bhArgu.a. bhArgav.a.

it is difficult to reconcile this formation with the common pronunciation

of the retroflex vowel <R> as "ri" or "ru";

rather, the tongue should be turned (but not clicked)

as a retroflex;

in like manner rAma,

the descendant of raghu,

is called raghu.a. rAghu.a. rAghav.a.

*sv.24 They who were surely the spiritual preceptors of the whole universe roamed the world. Established firmly in the knowledge of the self, they remained unmoved by the changes that took place in the time and in the environment.

*vlm.24. They both continued as the living liberated guides of men, by their knowledge of all that was to be known; and pre.serving the equanimity of their minds, and the steadiness of their dispositions, amidst all the vicissitudes of time and place: (and the changes of their fortune and circumstances).

*m. 25 In course of time Sukra became the ‘Guru’ of Rakshasas. Sage Bhrigu remained in that Supreme state (as Prajapti).

*sv.25 In course of time, Sukra became the spiritual preceptor of the demons; and his father bhRgu became one of the sages of highest wisdom.

*vlm.25. In course of time Sukra obtained the preceptorship of the demons, and Bhrigu remained in his patriarchal rank and authority among the sons of men (mánavas).

*m. 26 Thus Sukra, who originally lived in that Supreme state of self, slipped into other lower states due to a loss of memory of his original state.

*sv.26 Such is the story of the sage Sukra; who on account of his infatuation with a nymph, wandered in countless wombs.

*vlm.26. Thus the son of Bhrigu, who was born as Sukra at first, was gradually led away from his holy state by his thought of the heavenly nymph, and subjected to various states of life to which he was prone; (by the bent of his mind and inward pivities*).
