Default The meaning of words "Sri & "Srila" - 03-25-2000, 12:49 AM

>1. What is the meaning of "Srila" in "Srila Prabhupada"?
>2. What does "la" means in "Srila"?


"SRI" IS BASICALLY A NOUN & IS ALSO USED AS AN ADJECTIVE.

According to Sanskrit Dictionary, "Sri" as a noun, means Srimati Radharani,
Laxmidevi, wealth, opulence, beauty, fame, knowledge, strength, any virtue
or excellence etc. etc.

Also "Sri" as an adjective means splendid, radiant, adorning (decorated)
etc.

So when "Sri" is used for Visnu Tattva, it can be taken both as a noun and
an adjective.

But whenever it is used for the jiva tattva, it is used as an adjective.

"SRILA" IS AN ADJECTIVE OF THE NOUN "SRI"

"Sri-la" means one who possesses wealth (i.e rich), opulence, beauty
etc.etc.

"Sri" also means the three Vedas.
So "Srila" means learned personality who knows the three Vedas.

"Sri" means Srimati Radharani.
"Srila" means one who possesses the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani is his
heart.

"Sri" is the name of one of the six ragas or musical modes.(masculine)
"Srila" means expertise in music, especially in the "Sri" raga.

Your servant,
Nayana-ranjana das
