Question 6

‘IV+V.
‘44.8
‘5.3
अवसरतुलिताभिरलम्

Answer 6

I THINK अलम् + INSTR. HAS TO MEAN ‘enough with!’, SO: ‘Enough with fine-tuned calculations of opportunities for for bold-and-daring men!’
\\
OLDER INTERPRETATIONS FOLLOW:
\
अवसरतुलिताभिरलम् = अवसरतुलिताभिः + अलम् WHERE (B&K) अलम् (“sufficiently”) QUALIFIES अवसरतुलिताभिः
\
I THINK I FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING HERE
तनुभिः == पुरुषैः AND अवसरतुलिताभिः == ‘WEIGHING OPTIONS, CONSIDERING, PONDERING ALTERNATIVES’ AND THEREFORE ‘HESITANT’
THE CONTRAST IS WITH साहसिकापुरुषानाम् == ‘BOLD AND IMPETUOUS MEN’ WHO DO NOT WEIGH ALTERNATIVES.

Question 8

पाताल n.

Answer 8

I THINK THE SENSE HERE IS THAT THE 4 BRAHMAN BOYS DON’T CARE HOW THEY MAKE THEIR MONEY, SO THEY SAY:
‘Water sometimes falls from the sky/cloud into a well. It even comes (up) from “underground” (from the पाताल ). (What difference does it make?) Fate be damned. Human activity (alone) is a powerful cause.”

अचिन्त्यम् (?)

Answer 10

अचिन्त्यम् (?) [ND IN THIS SENSE BUT SEE JHA] SEEMS TO MEAN ‘undoubtedly’ HERE
BUT I THINK IT JUST HAS LITERAL VALUE:
“Fate is not to be considered. Is not (ननु) human effort a powerful cause?” THIS SEEMS TO BE THE MEANING.

अवसरतुलिताभिरलम् तनुभिः

Answer 35

अवसरतुलिताभिरलम् तनुभिः
I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS. THE 4 GREEDY YOUNG BRAHMANS ARE SAYING THAT HARD TO OBTAIN WEALTH IS OBTAINED BY BOLD AND DESPERATE MEN - AND THEN THIS PHRASE:
“enough with bodies possessing equality of opportunity”
OR “enough with thin comparisons of equality” ????
MY BEST GUESS IS THAT IT IS CLOSER TO “enough with bodies possessing equality of opportunity” AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY WOULD RATHER DIE (LOSE THEIR BODIES) THAN LIVE ON EQUAL TERMS WITH OTHER HUMANS - INSTEAD THEY WANT TO INCREASE THEIR CHANCES WITH DARING AND MAGIC NO MATTER WHAT THE RISK

I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE SENSE OF THIS COUPLET
(?) “(Rain) sometimes/perhaps falls into a well. Water comes even from the Pātāla. Fate is not to be thought of. [OR ‘IT IS FATE NO DOUBT’] Human effort in particular is cause/instrument-powerful indeed !”
BUT I AM REALLY JUST GUESSING HERE - PARTLY BECAUSE कार AND कारण CAN HAVE SO MANY MEANINGS
\
YES. I THINK THE ABOVE MAY BE ABOUT RIGHT.SINCE पुरुषकार m. IS IN THE DICTIONARIES AS “human effort (opp. to daiva-,fate) ; पुरुषकार m. manly act, virility, heroism etc.”

\
अभिमतसिद्धिरशेषा … सोप्यदृष्टाख्यः ॥३०॥
I THINK THE SENSE OF THE COUPLET IS THIS:
“Longed-for achievement becomes complete indeed for a man by means of human effort. This ‘It is fate!’ which you tell of (IS REALLY) a human quality. This human quality is known as the Unseen”
\
अदृष्ट n. B&K “the quality of the soul produced by meritorious or sinful acts”
unforeseen danger or calamity, that which is beyond the reach of observation or consciousness, (especially the merit or demerit attaching to a man’s conduct in one state of existence and the corresponding reward or punishment with which he is visited in another)

प्राणान्

Answer 39

प्राणान् B&K “After प्राणान् , तृणमिव तुलयन्ति must be repeated”
SO THE SENSE IS: “They regard life itself as of little account. That is amazing conduct. The conduct indeed of noble men.”
BUT I THINK B&K ‘S INTERPRETATION MAY BE A FORCED ATTEMPT TO SAVE A BAD TEXT
