Sanskrit Pearl of the day:
भारते संस्कृता भाषा कामधेनुः प्रकीर्तिता ।
जननी विश्वभाषाणां विज्ञानस्योपकारिणी ॥
Transliteration:
bhārate saṃskṛtā bhāṣā kāmadhenuḥ prakīrtitā ।
jananī viśvabhāṣāṇāṃ vijñānasyopakāriṇī ॥
Meaning of the subhAShita:
In India, the Sanskrit language is reputed as 'kāmadhenu' (the celestial cow which bestows all desires). Being the mother of world languages, it is the benefactor of wisdom.
Commentary:
Sanskrit is renowned as the 'devabhāṣā' for good reason. In India, it is reputed as 'kāmadhenu', the celestial cow that bestows all desires. It caters to the needs of everyone. The language and its literature can quench the thirst of anyone, in any field of knowledge. It is not just a storehouse for spiritual knowledge, but has literature pertaining to all arenas - from nyāya śāstra (study of logic) to nīti śāstra (moral/value education); from architecture to science; from medicine to astronomy! Its range and variety know no bounds.
It is also deemed as the mother of most world languages. Many languages are derived from it and their roots can be found in Sanskrit. It is the easiest benefactor for wisdom. The literature in the language is such!
Let's celebrate Sanskrit and make an effort to drink at least an ounce from the mighty ocean that this wonderful language is!
P.S: 'World Sanskrit Day' is celebrated on the full moon day of the Śrāvaṇa month according to the Hindu calendar.
