What does it mean when elders bless us in Sanskrit as “āyuṣmān bhava” (आयुष्मान् भव, for a male) or “āyuṣmatī bhava” (आयुष्मती भव, for a female)?

The commonly understood meaning is “may you have a long life”.

1/n

This is correct, for the primary meaning of ‘āyuṣmat’ (आयुष्मत्), from which ‘āyuṣmān’ and ‘āyuṣmatī’ are derived, is “long-lived” (Apte).

However, this is not the only meaning.

The suffix ‘-mat’ in ‘āyuṣmat’ also has the sense of praise.

2/n

Hence, another meaning of “āyuṣmān bhava” or “āyuṣmatī bhava” is “may you have a praiseworthy (=noble) life”.

This meaning, “having a praiseworthy/noble life”, is not listed in Sanskrit dictionaries. However, it is as per the rules of Sanskrit grammar.

This thread is full of schoolboy errors. This is what happens when people who have no basic knowledge of Sanskrit grope in the dark and imagine meanings.

Let us see the blunders in this thread, one tweet at a time.

Claim: "हन्यन्ते derives from हंत्व".

Truth: हन्यन्ते is a verbal conjugation: 3rd-person plural (प्रथमपुरुष-बहुवचन), present tense (लट् लकार), passive voice (कर्मणि प्रयोग), from √हन् = “to kill” and also “to strike” (Apte).

हन्यन्ते is not from हंत्व

https://twitter.com/Schandillia/status/1460984752370905090

हन्त्व is an adjective, from which one gets inflected forms like हन्त्वः हन्त्वौ हन्त्वाः. हन्यते is a conjugation, from root हन्, from which we get conjugations like हन्यते हन्येते हन्यन्ते in passive voice. Our scholar cannot tell a verbal conjugation from an inflected form!

‘नवरात्रि’ अथवा ‘नवरात्र’? क्या शुद्ध है? इसपर अंग्रेज़ी विकिपीडिया भी भ्रान्त है।

‘Navarātri’ or ‘navarātra’? Which is correct? Even English Wikipedia is wrong on this.
