ગુજરાતના મારા બધા મિત્રોને નૂતન વર્ષાભિનંદન.

ગુજરાતમાં આજે જન્મેલા બાળક માટે બહુ ઉપયુક્ત #સુનામ છે ‘વત્સર’.

‘વત્સર’ શબ્દનો એક અર્થ છે “વર્ષ”, અને મહાભારતના વિષ્ણુસહસ્રનામસ્તોત્ર માં વત્સર શ્રીવિષ્ણુનું ૪૭૦મું નામ છે—

“વત્સરો વત્સલો વત્સી રત્નગર્ભો ધનેશ્વરઃ” (૧૩.૧૪૯.૬૩)

૧/૪

જેમાં બધા જીવો અથવા લોકો વસે છે એ અધિકરણ છે ‘વત્સર’ એટલે વિષ્ણુ—“વસન્તિ જીવા લોકા વા અસ્મિન્નિતિ વત્સરો વિષ્ણુઃ”.

એવીજ રીતે જેમાં બધા ઋતુઓ વસે છે એ અધિકરણ છે ‘વત્સર’ એટલે વર્ષ. “વસન્તિ ઋતવઃ અસ્મિન્નિતિ વત્સરો વર્ષઃ”.

૨/૪

गुजरात के मेरे सभी मित्रों को नूतन वर्षाभिनन्दन।

गुजरात में आज जन्मे बालक के लिए बहुत उपयुक्त #सुनाम है ‘वत्सर’।

‘वत्सर’ शब्द का एक अर्थ है “वर्ष”, और महाभारतके विष्णुसहस्रनामस्तोत्र में वत्सर श्रीविष्णु का ४७०वाँ नाम है—

वत्सरो वत्सलो वत्सी रत्नगर्भो धनेश्वरः (१३.१४९.६३)

Fact: Nowadays, the term Jashn-e-Chirag (जश्न-ए-चिराग़/जश्न-ए-चराग़ाँ) is used for the lamp lighting on the annual Urs of Shah Niyaz Ahmad at Khanqah-e-Niazia (Bareilly) and on Eid-e-Milad. Even in the past, Jashn-e-Chirag was used for any such event, not specifically for Diwali.

“Even as the temperature dipped to 4.2 degree Celsius on Tuesday, thousands of people, including non-Muslims and foreigners, stood in serpentine queues for nearly five hours to observe Jashn-e-Chirag at Khanqah-e-Niazia.”

The word शिवलिङ्ग (śivaliṅga) does NOT mean “genitals of Śiva”. The word लिङ्ग (liṅga) in this context means “a symbol, a mark”.

It started with Böhtlingk and Roth (1855) misleading by citing the Trikāṇḍaśeṣa and Medinī in giving the meaning of the word liṅga as

“das göttlich verehrte Geschlechtsglied Çiva's (Rudra’s), Çiva in der Form eines Phallus” (English: “The divinely revered sexual organ of Śiva (Rudra), Śiva in the form of a phallus”). However, both Trikāṇḍaśeṣa and Medinī give many meanings of the word “liṅga” and ...

... give “the male organ” and “Śiva’s murti” as two separate meanings. Without any basis, Böhtlingk and Roth, combined the two different meanings into one.

Monier Williams (1872) simply copied from Böhtlingk and Roth and gave a meaning of the meaning of “liṅga” as ...

कुछ दिन पहले एक व्यक्ति ने टी.वी. पर माँ की गाली दे डाली। इसकी जितनी भर्त्सना की जाए, अल्प है।

भर्तृहरि ने लिखा है—

ददतु ददतु गालीर्गालिमन्तो भवन्तो
वयमपि तदभावाद्गालिदानेसमर्थाः।
जगति विदितमेतद्दीयते विद्यमानं
न हि शशकविषाणं कोऽपि कस्मै ददाति॥
(वैराग्यशतक, संकीर्णश्लोक २५)

“गालियाँ दीजिए, दीजिए। आप [तो] ‘गालिमान्’ (गालीवाले अथवा गाली-संपन्न) हैं। उसके अभाव से (गाली-संपन्न न होने से) हम भी [प्रत्युत्तर में गाली] देने में असमर्थ हैं। संसार में यह विदित है, जो विद्यमान हो वही दिया जाता है। निश्चय ही, कोई किसी को ससे (ख़रगोश) का सींग देता है?”

भर्तृहरि के लिए गाली देना उतना ही असंभव था जितना ससे का सींग होना। ‘गालिमत्’ में व्याजनिन्दा है (ऊपर से देखने में प्रशंसा है, पर है निन्दा)। ‘मतुप्’ प्रशंसा में भी होता है निन्दा में भी।

कोई गाली दे तो भर्तृहरि के समान उत्तर में “गालिमन्तो भवन्तः”/“आप तो गालीवाले हैं” कह दीजिए।
