This early morning, I almost feel like I have found a pot of gold (epecially checking Kalidasa)! Thankyou so much for all the wonderful hard work. It is a great service to the language and to the people who love the language but have given up due to various reasons!

Namaste.
Wonderful. I love it. I wish I remembered enough to respond in sanskrit. You inspire me to dust off my books.
I think a great pit of information to include in your “About” page would be how you compose the devanagari and the transliterated text. What system you recommend. Do you use a WordPress plugin? What else? Sometimes I use Baraha. I would like to start something similar for my favorite shlokas and bhajans, so I would appreciate any hints very much. (Setting up a server etc. is no problem. I just want advice about the devanagari and translit.)
Thanks.

Rayji,
I use Itranslator2003. It works with ITRANS encoding scheme. You can save text in Unicode or html or rtf format. I have put together some notes at: http://www.ee.adfa.edu.au/staff/hrp/personal/Sanskrit-External/unicodenotes.html . Please have a look.
I will be most pleased to assist you.
Thanks.

Namaste!
This is an excellent web site, a real treasure house indeed. It helps me in a great way since I am using a number of subhaashitaani here to teach samskrtam to young children.
I suggest you also open up a samskrtam drama section where people could post some short skits for kids to get them to converse in samskrtam.
vadatu samskrtam,

You may want to add the following subhasshitam under aarogyam:
About eating discipline…
poorayet asanena ardham
trteeyam udakena tu
vayos sancharanaarthaaya
chaturtham avaseshayet
Meaning:
While eating food, one should fill only half the stomach with solids. The third quarter is for water (or liquids), and the remaining fourth quarter is to be left empty so that the food and liquids have room to move around and mix with the air.

Congratulations to those who worked to make it a success!
I would like to leave a sloka but I have no access any other key board than the one I am using.

Here’s a new one about a “True Friend”:
paapaan nivaarayati yojayate hitaaya
guhyam cha goohati gunaan prakatee karoti
aapadgatam cha na jahaati dadaati kale
sanmitra lakshanam idam pravadanti santaH
He restrains his friend from committing sins, induces his friend to do good deeds, conceals the unseemly secrets of his friend, projecting only his good qualities to others, does not desert his friend in difficulties, but gives timely assistance – saints describe these as characteristics of a true friend.

Please if you know the complete sloka of this, send me to my mail as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot for this blog Karthik. I hope to start something similar in the near future. I may need your help with Sanskrit fonts, etc then.
Could you henceforth also post the sources of the different subhASitANI?
Thanks again.
August 7, 2007 at 8:43 am
The sources are in general varied.. it’s from some old book, memory, an internet site and so on… Will try and post the sources as and when I can… Good luck with your site .. will surely help!

Hi,
Can i know the sanskrit version of “Health is Wealth”?
October 3, 2007 at 7:02 pm
Karthikji,
I think I found a new one:
Na abhisheko na samskaarah simhasya kruyate vane
vikramaarjitasatvasya swayameva mrugendrataa
(Meaning: There is no official coronation ceremony held to declare the lion as the king of the jungle. He becomes king by his own attributes and heroic actions. Similarly, in our own life, when working towards some goal, we should not merely “demand” it. Rather we should try to “earn” the goal through our own good deeds and efforts. It is through our own hard work that we achieve.)
Thanks to “Tattva” – International monthly magazine for the Hindu Yuva – http://www.hinduyuva.org/tattva
October 9, 2007 at 10:23 pm
Karthikji,
Hope this is new…
chaayaamanyasya kurvanti tishThanti swayamaatape
phalaanyapi paraarthaaya vrikshaah satpurushaah iva
Trees are like good people. They themselves stand in the heat and make shade for the others. Their fruits are also for the benefit of the others.

A person who is not related to us (stranger) but who helps us in difficulty is [indeed] our relative. Similarly, a relative who does us ill should be considered a stranger.
Can i please have the above translated without the section below, as i would like to have this enscribed onto a piece of jewellery for my mother and can’t fit it all on…
This is just like our own body’s disease, which is an stranger (enemy) to us, while a medicinal plant that grows in a forest (elsewhere) does good to us
thanks so much, this is a gorgeous site well done

नमस्ते। स्वस्तिरस्तु॥ namaste. swastiH astu.
I am student of Sanskrit and started self study last year only. So please forgive the errors in the following sentences. सत्यमेव जयते इति मन्त्रस्य शब्दप्रयोगे मम संशयः जातः। तस्य निवारणार्थं भवतः साहाय्यं प्रार्थये। उदरनिमित्तं बहुकृतवेषमित्याप्तवाक्यस्य प्रमाणं स्वीकृत्य सौदि अरेबियायां देशे प्रवासजीवितं करोमि इदानीम्। अतः एव एतत् पत्रं लिखितम्।
That makes it very difficult to get Sanskrit books for reference. Would you be kind enough to clear my doubt about the wording of the under mentioned mantra?
सत्यमेव जयते नानृतं सत्येन पन्था विततो देवयानः।
येनाक्रमन्त्यृषयो ह्याप्तकामा यत्र तत्सत्यस्य परमं निधानम्॥
[From Mundakopanishat Ch 3 Section1 Mantra 6]
[satyameva jayate naanRutaM satyena panthaa vitato devayaanaH| yenaakramantyRuShayo hyaaptakaamaa yatra tatsatyasya paramaM nidhaanam||]
My source for this is the internet where I find different versions for the beginning of the second stanza as follows:
येनाक्रम्न्त्यऋषयो / येनाक्रमन्ति ऋषयो [yenaakramantyaRuShayo / yenaakramanti RuShayo]
My patchy knowledge of Sanksrit leads me to believe that “येनाक्रमन्ति ऋषयो – yenakramanti Rushayo” is the correct wording. Is there a Sandhi rule in use here इ[i] + ऋ[Ru] to make it read as येनाक्रमन्त्यर्षयो – yenakramantyarShayo?
You may reply by email to me or publish it here as per your discretion.
Thank you and best wishes.

God bless you. With high respect and regards, your dedicated work cannot be merely valued by a few words and praises.
Also, to my brothers and sisters who are asking question on how to type sanskrit letters, please use http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic/
You can type sanskrit in hindi (both are devanagari scripts)

अजानन्दाहात्म्यं पततु शलभस्तीव्रदहने स मीनोऽप्यज्ञानाद्वडिशयुतमश्नातु पिशितम्।
विजानन्तोऽप्येते वयमिह विपज्जालजटिलान् न मुञ्चामः कामानहह गहनो मोहमहिमा॥
Like a moth falling in fire, not knowing its burning power;
Or like the fish caught in ignorance by the baited hook;
We, despite knowing the dangers, do not renounce sensual pleasures.
Oh! How profound is the glory of delusion!

व्याघ्रीव तिष्ठति जरा परितर्जयन्ति रोगाश्च शत्रव इव प्रहरन्ति देहम्।
आयुः परिस्रवति भिन्नघटादिवाम्भो लोकस्तथाप्यहितमाचरतीति चित्रम्॥
Like a tigress, fearsome is old age. Illnesses attack the body like enemies.
Life flows like water from a leaky vessel. Yet, is it not a wonder that man engages in actions not conducive to well-being?
October 10, 2008 at 12:39 am
namastE!
Great job! But, I have an academic curiosity.
I came here through the Blogg Roll Link for ‘शुभाषितानि’
My understanding is that the word is ‘सुभाषितानि’.
Can you please correct me if I am wrong?
Thank you.
Vidya
October 12, 2008 at 11:23 am
Its Excelliant.. Without any Doubt.. I believe we have to arrange these shlokas in more interective manner. Home page should be small and should have link to different type of shloka with detail discription… Whatever is there now is not less then anything.. Its Simply EXCELLIANT.
November 14, 2008 at 7:30 pm
Vidya, I hope this help.
Second one सुभाषितानि is right.
Use su and not shu
su+bhAShitAni
plural form of subhAShita.
Wise/Auspcious/Kind/Nice sayings.

खाली हाथ आए और खाली हाथ चले।
जो आज तुम्हारा है, कल और किसी का था, परसों किसी और का होगा।
इसीलिए, जो कुछ भी तू करता है, उसे भगवान के अर्पण करता चल।
“You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed.
What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow.
So, whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God! “
