question about puzzle in Sanskrit

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

I don't understand the gramatical form 'dhyAyed' in the Chandi Chapter 4

meditation. How is it constructed, is is from the verb 'dhyai'? I know it is

only a detail, but sometimes understanding details helps a lot in overcoming

other hurdles. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

with love,

Henny

Dear Henny,

 

I believe it is an optative 3rd person singular form of dyai - to meditate, meaning "one should meditate" or "one ought to meditate." Usually when a verb ends in -et or -ed that's whats indicated. I saw this form also in the Rama Raksa Stotram hymn for protection meditation also.

 

Take care, Bill
