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.

Answer 34

साधकवर्ति f. a magical wick

Question 35

'IV+V. '44.23 '5.3 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

Question 36

'IV+V. '44.10-11 '5.3 पतति ... पुरुषकारोपि ॥२९॥

Answer 36

पतति ... पुरुषकारोपि ॥२९॥ 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."

Question 37

'IV+V. '44.11 '5.3 पुरुषकार m.

Answer 37

Question 38

'IV+V. '44.12-13 '5.3 अभिमतसिद्धिरशेषा ... सोप्यदृष्टाख्यः ॥३०॥

Answer 38

अभिमत adj. p. p. 1 Desired, wished, liked, dear, beloved, favourite (person or thing); agreeable, desirable; नास्ति जीवितादन्यदभिमततरमिह जगति सर्वजन्तूनाम् K.35,58; अभिमतफलशंसी चारु पुस्फोर बाहुः Bk.1.27; यद्येवमभिमतम् Pt.1 if you like to do so; तयोरभिमतं वद Mv.6.21 choose which you will; इक्ष्वाकुवंशो$भिमतः प्रजानाम् U.1.44, Ś.3. 5, Ku.3.23, Pt.1.7, Me.51, Mu.3.4. -2 Agreed or assented to, liked, approved, accepted, admitted; न किल भवतां स्थानं देव्या गृहे$भिमतं ततः U.3.32; प्रसिद्ध- माहात्म्याभिमतानामपि कपिलकणभुक्प्रभृतीनाम् Ś. B. honoured, respected. -तम् Wish, desire. -तः A beloved person, lover; अभिमतमभितः कृताङ्गभङ्गा Śi.7.72.8.68,1.9. \ 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)

Question 39

'IV+V. '44.15 '5.3 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

Question 40

'IV+V. '44.16-17 '5.3 क्लेशस्याङ्गमदत्त्वा ... बाहुभिर्लक्ष्मीम् ॥३२॥

Answer 40

क्लेशस्याङ्गमदत्त्वा ... बाहुभिर्लक्ष्मीम् ॥३२॥ THE SENSE OF THE COUPLET SEEMS TO BE: "Without having given one's limb (arm, BODY) to suffering good things are not easily obtained in this world. Vishnu (Slayer of Madhu) embraces Lakshmi with arms tired from churning (the Ocean)' SEE B&K'S NOTE FOR MORE EXPLANATION.

Question 41

'IV+V. '44.19 '5.3 जलगत adj.

जलगत adj. ACCORDING TO B&K THIS REFERS TO VISHNU'S SLEEP IN THE OCEAN, WHERE HE IS DEPICTED AS REPOSING ON THE SERPENT SHESHA THE POINT OF THE VERSE IS THAT "LADY LUCK" - I.E. LAKSHMI, VISHNU'S WIFE - IS FICKLE, AND TO PROVIDE A MYTHOLOGICAL CAUSE FOR IT
