This
English “equivalent translation” is of
chapter 49 of 6th Section: uttrKHNd of pdm-puraaAN titled “moHinii
EkaaDshii” vRt in sNskRUt language….of
which the first 9 sh~lok (verses-stanza) explains the essence of when-what-why
of observing “moHinii EkaaDshii”…Its essence is
it saved SHRii raam, the 7th avtaar of SHRii
viSH~ANu from the love-loss suffering resulting from separation from his
wife siitaa….The morale also is if SHRii raam with total divinity can
benefit from this :moHinii EkaaDshii” vRt…then what to say the
badly needed panacea for human life-travel in current vEDik era called
kli-yug in which upholding DHARm is 75% of the time impossible at the best….

said:
jNaaARDn
(aka SHRii kRUSH~AN), tell me what is
the name of EkaaDshii in the suk~l pKSH (first fortnight) of the
month of vaishaaKH and what is the benefit obtained from it and how is it
to be observed? (1)
SHRii kRUSH~AN
replied:
King of Kings, the same
question you are asking me was asked by wise raamchNDR of vsiSH~TH.
(2) raam asked: BHgvN (Glossary 1), I wish to hear about the best vRt
(Glossary 2) which destroys all paap (Glossary 3) and which averts stops
and destroys all DuKH (Glossary 4). I am
experiencing DuKH due to my
reckoning of my love-loss love-longing separation
and ensuing loneliness from siitaa
which creates pangs of love bound emotions thereof (expressed as virH
Glossary 5). And mHaamuni
(venerable senior sage), thus, gripped with fear I am asking you this. (3-4).
vsiSH~TH replied:
raam,
you have asked a good question because you are suffering from a calamity but
still have steady and steadfast mind-heart with knowledge, intelligence-wisdom,
understanding, intent and wistfulness and power of realizing all intents-wishes
with imaginative and creative though-out plans; and you are (a divinity) such
that just by invoking your name humans can become purified as if they performed
shaasTR (Glossary 6) prescribed pRaayschitt (Glossary 7) and
yGN (Glossary 8). (5)
And I will tell you with an intent of
benefitting all humanity for realizing their well-being and wants-wish-desires
the vRt which is the best among all vRt which if observed makes one
pviTRm meaning creates DHARm-complying
mind and thus makes one sinless and affords paavNm
meaning absolves from paap and
thus makes one of pure mind-heart-body. (6)
raam,
this EkaaDshii happens in the sit (shuk~l)
pKSH (first fortnight) of
vaishaaKH month and is named
moHinii and is said to destroy all paap formerly committed. (7) It
frees one from moH-jaal (Glossary 9) and this moH-web and ties up
paatk (major paap which are enumerated as 5 in human-DHARm
texts: 1) Murdering a bRaaH~mAN (the priestly class among humans; 2)
drinking alcohol; 3) stealing; 4) infidelity with one’s guru’s (teacher)
wife; 5) having relations with persons who commit paatk –even having a meal
or even shaking a hand. All this is nothing but st~y (Truth) I am telling
you. (8) Thus, raam, do as I have told you and it will destroy paatk as well as
destroy mHaa-DuKH (DuKH of great-extreme magnitude) (9) …….

1.
sNskRUt language words are
in italics with equivalent English meanings in parenthesis;
2.
The sNskRUt language words
are spelt so as to leave the sNskRUt phonetics intact with equivalent English
alphabets and capital letters are used where there is no equivalent English
alphabets …and to empower transliteration pronunciation as done in sNskRUt
language sNskRUt words are given in parenthesis;
3.
The symbol ~ is used to
denote joining of two sNskRUt letters as per sNskRUt grammar; the rest of

italics and have no one-word equivalent in English language because of the lack
of similar life-process-activities English
language lifestyle.

The above is a “preliminary
draft” which will be “finalized” with blessings of all creations in due
course…but this preliminary draft empowers and blesses with continual learning
of vEDik life-sciences and its use in daily living to make tomorrow happier than
today simply because we bless ourselves with True Life-sciences Knowledge…. .
9.
moH-jaal:
the web (jaal) of delusion
created by moH in life-travels of all creations. moH is one of the

(just like the fate of USA Republicans since Barack Obama became their
President).

moH-jaal:
moH is a one of the shk~ti
(powers) deludes creations to
unnecessarily chase worldly
subjects-objects which ultimately cause them untold DuKH through, at
best, temporary worldly joy-pleasures-profits which are not DHARm-complaint
(Glossary 10). moH-web (jaal) is like the spider’s web – the more you
struggle to get out of it the more you get trapped. maayaa is one of 2
fundamental powers of creation-sustenance –cyclic re-creation of pr-bRHm
= The One God, maayaa is activated as pRkRUti –the creative
algorithms with algorithmic powers to create all creations and their activities
in our universe ; the other power being omnipotent-omniscient-omnipresent
chaitn~y with additional power in the form of pRkaash (infinite potency

DHARm:
is the universal laws of ethics-morality conduct prescribed in vED texts based
on which the all the process algorithms of creation-sustenance-cyclic
re-creation of our universe and all creations in the universe is founded on and
operated with. DHARm also prescribes the laws, rules, regulations and
code of conduct for each creation and between all creations for harmonious and
inter-dependent co-existence. DHARm is like the Microsoft Operating
System which operates the majority of current computer hardware. Any creations,
not living their life in compliances with DHARm,
suffers malfunctions in life’s living
processes which causes DuKH to themselves and also to the fellow
creations in the matrix of universal co-existence of all creations. Thus
breaking DHARm results in what is called paap (Glossary 1) and the
Creator has DHARm-break-specific legislations-prescriptions of
“punishment” of restorative payback to the injured parties and/or Self-
suffering the same DuKH” for a specified time by the DHARm-breaker in a
life-travel and/or hell and/or being born as living beings in the form of
plants, animals or lower forms of life or “inanimate” creations.
