Meaning of Mutrasayam (Scorpio and Guhya)

[Guest guest]

Dear Visti,

 

The word "aasaya" is from the same root as the word "sayana" (as in

Sayanadi avasthas). Aasaya means the place of lying down or resting

or being stored/stocked. For example, jalaasaya (jala = water) means

a water reservoir. Mootraasaya is the place where urine (mootra)

lies. It does NOT mean the organ thru which urine is discharged.

Instead, it means the organ where urine is stored. Mootrasaya means

kidney. In fact, I studied math and sciences in Telugu language

medium till 10th grade (Telugu is a language derived from Sanskrita)

and the word we used for kidneys was "mootraasayam"!

 

And, "bruyanmutrasayam" is not the organ. It is two wordsbruyat +

mutrasayam". Bruyat means "may one say". Motrasayam means kidney.

 

Bhasin's translation of mutrasayam, as quoted by you, is a bit vague

and can be misleading to one who does not know Sanskrita to make more

more sense of it. I am afraid the translation is not quite perfect.

 

"Guhya" means organs that are "hide-worthy" as I explained earlier.

Anus is certainly A hide-worthy organ but not the ONLY one.

 

I am glad you are referring to classics on this. Please refer to the

classics I quoted also. Mehanam can by no means mean anus. Prajanana

sthalam (procreational area) can by no means mean anus. Please read

all the classics while you are at it.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
