Jyotish and Vyaakarana Vedanga

[Guest guest]

|| Om Vaacaspataye Namah ||

 

Dear Friends,

 

Six Vedanga's (Grammar, Etymology, Pronunciation, Tunes, Kalpa

, Jyotisha ) are needed to understand Vedas is well known to all students of Veda and related subjects.

 

Students should also understand that these Vedanga should also be

mutually used to understand better. Like for example it's evident that

you need to understand Shiksha (Pronunciation) correctly to understand

say Tunes ( Chandas), Etymology of words correctly to get the meanings

of words and Grammar to associated the words to make complete meaning

and so on. But the use of Jyotish with others is not so evident. Like

for example Students of Sanskrit usually focus on

Pronunciation(Shiksha), Etymology (Nirukta) and Grammar (Vyaakaran) but they don't have basics of Jyotish and Kalpa etc to tie things together.

 

To make my point clear and attempt an example, Let's take the example

of Vibakti of Grammar. In Grammar (Vyaakaran) Vibhakti is an important

word declinations to indicate the subject, object and verbs relations

between them. Vibhakti means Prepositions. A Vibhakti is a

declination(sounds added at the end of each noun) to indicate the

relationship of Verb (Karma/Kriya) to the Person (both persons receiver

and doer of karma).

 

There are 7 prime Vibhakti's or called cases, namely

 

 

 

 

 

1st case

 

 

Nominative

 

 

1, 2, 3

 

 

 

 

2nd case

 

 

Accusative

 

 

Object, to (when the verb is go), towards, about

 

 

 

 

3rd case

 

 

Instrumental

 

 

By, with, through

 

 

 

 

4th case

 

 

Dative case

 

 

For, to (when the verb is give)

 

 

 

 

5th case

 

 

Ablative

 

 

From, than

 

 

 

 

6th case

 

 

Possessive

 

 

Of, 's, among

 

 

 

 

7th case

 

 

Locative

 

 

In, on, at, among

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Jyotish 7 indicates relationships, A Karma is always performed

between two people. The bhaava(house) is numbered Seven because Seven

types of relations is possible. The seven types of resources are the

Seven Rasa's. In Grammar this gives rise to Seven types of Vibhakti.

Let's take an example " A Boy " is involved in an activity (Karma) Verb.

This leads to Seven types of tasks " Boy " can be involved in,

 

Let me take example with Single Boy, The students can refer to grammar books for 2 and mulptiboy declinations,

 

 

 

 

 

Vibhakti

 

 

ekvacanama

 

 

 

 

Cases

 

 

Singular

 

 

 

 

Pratama Vibhakti

 

 

baala:

Dwitiya Vibhakti

 

 

baalama\

 

 

 

 

2nd

 

 

A boy is

object,

To a boy

Towards a

About a boy

 

 

 

 

Tritiya Vibhakti

 

 

baalaona

 

 

 

 

3rd

with a boy

through a

boy

 

 

 

 

Chaturta Vibhakti

 

 

 

 

baalaaya

 

 

 

 

4th

 

 

For a boy,

To a boy.

 

 

 

 

Pancama Vibhakti

 

 

baalaat\

 

 

 

 

5th

 

 

From a boy

Than a boy

 

 

 

 

Shashti Vibhakti

 

 

baalasya

 

 

 

 

6th

 

 

 

Of a boy,

Boy's

 

 

 

 

Saptma Vibhakti

 

 

 

baalao

 

 

 

 

7th

 

 

In a boy

On a boy

At a boy

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: The Sambodana or Exclamation is type of First.

 

Thus a relation to 7th house for partners and Seven types of relations formed with them for a certain karma can be understood.

 

For Example when we do mantra to worship each diety mostly we use the Fourth Vibhakti,

For example

The object : Shiva

Doer : Yourself

Action: Salutation

 

Namah Shivaaya

(I Salute) (To Shiva)

the Word Shiva is declined in 4th Vibhakti to form Shivaaya.

Thus 4th emotion of compassion can be invoked.
