manujaṃ daivāsurala-
kṣaṇamiśritanavana jagakè kaṭṭuva saṃpad-
guṇamāsuram adariṃ mo-
canèyāgipa saṃyamādigaḻè daivya-dhanaṃ ॥

Man is an admixture
Of qualities daivī and āsurī
Fetter him to the universe, the latter
Divine qualities like restraint release him from them.

Gaganadi teluva paṃjara
Jagamidu nija-karma-phalavan-adaroḻag-uṇuvā
Khaga jīvaṃ gūḍoḍèdadu
nègèderal dorègum adakanaṃtada saukhyaṃ ॥

ಗಾನಕ್ರಮದ ಕರ್ಷಣದ ಮೂಲಕ ಇಂದ್ರವಜ್ರಾವೃತ್ತದ ಪಾದಗಳಿಗೆ ಒದಗಿದ ಪಂಚಕಲಗತಿ ಮತ್ತಷ್ಟು ದೃಢವಾಗಿ ಗುರು-ಲಘುವಿನ್ಯಾಸದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನಿಕ್ಷಿಪ್ತವಾದ ಬೆಳೆವಣಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ‘ಶ್ಯೇನಿ’ ಅಥವಾ ‘ಲಯಗ್ರಾಹಿ’ ಎಂಬ ಬಂಧದಲ್ಲಿ ನೋಡುತ್ತೇವೆ. ಇದು ಪ್ರತಿಪಾದಕ್ಕೆ ಮೂರು ತ-ಗಣ ಮತ್ತೆರಡು ಗುರುಗಳನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡ ಸಮವೃತ್ತ. ಅದರ ವಿನ್ಯಾಸ ಹೀಗೆ:

– – u – – u – – u – –

ಇದು ಐದೈದು ಮಾತ್ರೆಗಳ ಮೂರು ಗಣ ಮತ್ತು ನಾಲ್ಕು ಮಾತ್ರೆಗಳ ಒಂದು ಗಣವನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡ ಖಂಡಗತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಗುವ ಲಯಾನ್ವಿತ ವೃತ್ತ. ಕೊನೆಯ ಗಣವು ಒಂದು ಮಾತ್ರಾಕಾಲದ ಕರ್ಷಣಕ್ಕೆ ತುತ್ತಾಗಿ ಸಹಜವಾಗಿಯೇ ಲಯಸಮತೆಯನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುವುದು ಸುವೇದ್ಯ.

Phonetic languages have two major purposes – one is related to the realm of emotion (bhāvopayoga[1]) and the other to the material world (bhavopayoga). We do not consider classical arts such as dance and music as media for communicating information. Spoken language, which is the medium of our everyday communication, is mostly expected to provide us with information, while the same phonetic language, taking the form of poetry and story becomes non-utilitarian.

Bharata-guha

When Bharata did not find his father, he went to his mother Kaikeyī’s home. When he asked about his father, Kaikeyī merely replied, “Your father has taken the path that all living beings must follow.” Shocked and shattered by grief, Bharata fell on the ground and wept uncontrollably. He said, “I came here in delight, thinking that the king had called me to witness the coronation of Rāma or to participate in a yajña. But how differently it has turned out! I am heart-broken! Mother, to what illness did the king succumb?

238. Śākhācandra-nyāya

Let us now conclude this topic. The jīva has come in contact with the saṃsāra-tree. The root of that tree is in the supreme position (“parame vyoman”). In its lower part are branches and twigs in the form of the world. The higher the jīva goes - towards the root - the farther he gets from the bitterness, all the bothersome pests and filthy odours of the tree. That is mokṣa. The upward journey towards the origin is fueled by the effort of discernment. How, though, can that be done?

Nature

ಶ್ಲೋಕದ ಬಳಿಕ ಉಪಜಾತಿ, ವಂಶಸ್ಥ, ರಥೋದ್ಧತಾ, ವಸಂತತಿಲಕಾ ಮೊದಲಾದ ಹಲವು ಛಂದಸ್ಸುಗಳು ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧಿ-ಪ್ರಾಚುರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಗಳಿಸಿವೆ. ಇವುಗಳ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಇಪ್ಪತ್ತು-ಮೂವತ್ತಕ್ಕಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನದಲ್ಲ. ಇವುಗಳ ಪೈಕಿ ಲಯರಹಿತ ವೃತ್ತಗಳೇ ಅಧಿಕ. ಇಂಥ ವೃತ್ತಗಳ ಗತಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಕಷ್ಟು ಸಾಮ್ಯವುಂಟು. ಆದುದರಿಂದ ಪ್ರಸ್ಫುಟವಾದ ಗತಿವೈವಿಧ್ಯವುಳ್ಳ ಲಯರಹಿತ ವೃತ್ತಗಳ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಮತ್ತೂ ಕಡಮೆ. ಆದರೆ ಈ ಸಂಖ್ಯೆ ಲಯಾನ್ವಿತವಾದ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ವೃತ್ತ-ಜಾತಿಗಳ ವೈವಿಧ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋಲಿಸಿದರೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚು. ಇದು ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ವಿಸ್ಮಯಾವಹ.

The next morning, Rāma awoke Lakṣmaṇa and they set out into the forest. Rāma enjoyed the beauty of nature and pointed it out to Sītā as well. Spellbound with the flora and fauna in and around the Citrakūṭa Mountain, Rāma decided that they should reside there. Upon Rāma’s instruction, Lakṣmaṇa built a parṇa-śālā – leaf-hut and then killed a black antelope to perform bali as a part of the housewarming ritual. Enjoying the beauty of the mountain and the pleasant river Mālyavatī, Rāma overcame the sorrow of having left his beloved city.
