Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 »» »»» »»» Om Namo Bhagavathe Sri Ramanaaya... Hi Miles It is a lovely, pure verse. For the benefit of all members, this is the eleventh Verse of Sri Bhagavan’s Ulladu Narpadu Anubandham, the Supplement to the Forty Verses. Some of the verses are written by Sri Bhagavan, some from the Agaamas, some by Adi Sankaran (Mohamutkaram, Vivekachudaamani and Tattuvopadesam), and some by anonymous writers. One of our ‘Anons’ is “Yaar” [sri Lakshmana Sarma], who is indeed the author of this original verse in Sanskrit. We can further explain for members that the chat really began at two o’ clock in the form of a telephone conversation; it began for me, as hearing Miles talk about the ‘three worlds’ mentioned in verse 39 of the Supplement, and then the conversation drifted to Verse Eleven, and what an honour it must have been for LS to have Sri Bhagavan to translate a verse in Tamil based on Yaar's composition! It was a light and playful chat; not to be outdone, Lulu —Sri Miles’ Amazon Parrot— had taken to her game of aerial dive-bombing, swooping in from a great height, and missing him by an inch or so as she completed her graceful acrobatic arch. As if in answer to to the aeronautics taking place in Scotland, here in East Anglia we had crows flinging some objects around on the roof, and this was also interspersed with power cuts, and a little thunder. The verse in Tamil: piRaNta t’evanRan piramamuu lattee piRaNtat’eva n>aanen[d]Ru peen>i — piRaNtaa navanee piRaNtaa navanitamu niisa navanavana vanRinamu Naadu We can expand this, writing the English words underneath. piRantatu evan tan piramamuulattee was born he who self (?in) Brahma root indeed pirantatu evan> Naan en[d]Ru peen>i — piRaNtaan was born where the-‘I’ having asked and cherished avanee: avan Nitam; muniisan he indeed: he is perpetual; Sage Ishvara Navan Navan avan tinamum Naadu Born Born* he daily ...........find out! investigate! *Note. The repetition of a word emphasises and shows its ongoing occurrence, and this is further reinforced by the words ‘daily’ and ‘perpetually’. The purport (from: Lakshmana Sarma’s book) could be translated: He who investigates by asking, and carefully attending to the technique “Where was this ‘I’-sense born?”, He is truly in Brahman-root (rooted in Brahman), He is verily born; He is perpetually born, of all Sages he is Ishvara; born and born again, He is new every day. Find out for yourself! There’s a short explanatory comment which follows on in the book, perhaps our Suri could translate this better than me. :-) The chat proceeded, interspersed with the various knocks and flips of daily life; Lulu, climbing onto her master’s shoulder, she sidled up to the handset and whispered suggestions that we should also partake of apple or carrot. Four o’ clock drew nigh; so after some liquid refreshment, the conversation merely drifted into the chat room, where the same thread was continued for some time... anbudan John Siva—Siva http://acalayoga.blogspot.com/ lebhe janiM yaH parame svamUlevicArya kasmAdahamityudAraH |sa eva jAtaH sa ca nityajAtonavo navo 'yaM satataM munIndraH || That noble one (udAraH) who by means of the enquiry 'Whence am I?' has attained birth in the supreme source of his being (the Self), He alone is born.

It is in fact birth. lebhe is the perfect form (with a passive sense) of labh - obtain etc. as previously mentioned.the verse says-That noble one (udAraH) who by means of the enquiry 'Whence am I?' has attained birth in the supreme source of his being (the Self), He alone is born. In truth, He is constantly born. That Lord of Sages is ever new.color>Regards,Miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Dear John, very lovely report - enjoyed much by all the three: John, Miles and Lulu it seems. The supplement to 40 is quite wonderful - though so often read still new and fresh and demanding. There is also said much about the Heart. Perhaps this could be a theme for our next chat?: The Heart in the supplement to 40 - would much enjoy. yours in Sri Ramana Gabriele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
