5) “ Madanopi Yasam” . There are two meanings for this phrase. Give both the meanings.


ANSWERS FOR THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2009

1) The Lord saved Utharakumari and her child from the brahmasthra of Ashwathathama. Sage Vyasa contemplated on this act and could not come out of it. Hence he mentions her name twice.

2) There is a nyaya by name “ Dehali”. Accordingly a lamp lit in the passage gives light to both sides of the passage. So does the term” Ajithasrayaha “ go along with both the words Indra and Anujanuvarthithaha. As did Indra attain prosperity by seeking refuge under the Lord so did Yudhishta too attain prosperity.

3) Udhava and Satyaki did the chamara upachara.

4) “ May you be happy and prosperous” . Such a blessing does not make sense to the Lord who is Ananadswaroopi himself. But in an avathar this makes sense.

5) Udhyanam- An orchard of fruits

Upavanam- A forest filled with flowers

Aaramaha- Playground

Prasadam- Balcony
