This English
“equivalent translation” is of
chapter 49 of 6th Section: uttrKHNd of
pD~m
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 time era
called kli-yug
in which upholding
DHARm is 75% of the time
"impossible due to effects of kli-yug " at the best….
yuDHiSH~THir
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 and de-activates to harmlessness paatk (major paap). 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 extreme magnitude) (9)
…….

the rest of the letters in a word are self-standing and pronounced as
prescribe in sNskRUt alphabet –grammar;

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…. .
GLOSSARY TO THE
ABOVE: (Hyperlinks to current internet Knowledge sources have been
provided to Glossary words/texts with a qualification that these sources
have vEDik-Knowledge limitations ascribed to the editors of the
write-ups and for the Truth original extant vED texts in sNskRUt
language should be studies/referenced.)
1.
BHgvN:
a metaphysician having full life-sciences knowledge and having humanly
and divine-metaphysical powers derived from thereof,
2.
vRt:
a vow observance offered to any DEv (330 million gods and goddesses
which are Natures designated –specific-powers-functionaries to auto-run
our universe) as prescribed in
vED = Life-sciences extant corpus of
texts in sNskRUt language to appease-please-boon asking-BHk~ti
(devotion) for human’s
needs-wants-desires fulfillment with self-endeavour but
observing-upholding the DEv-human DHARm….

and non-compassionate, destructive, creating
life-difficulties-suffering-pain-injury-forced acts upon others at
individual-community-national levels including unpatriotic-treason acts.
paatk is 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

other and ensuing
feelings and emotions of
loneliness which creates pangs of love bound emotions thereof.

corpus of extant sNskRUt language texts which prescribes
what-how-when-why of vEDik rites performance.
7.
pRaays~chit~t:
repentance with restorative kARm as prescribed by vEDik
life-sciences texts.
8.

shaasTR prescribed offerings
through fire-rites to appease-contend-please 330 million
DEv (gods-goddesses created by Creator to be
designate-specific-functionaries in creation-sustenance-cyclic
re-creation of all creations in an universe. yGN are infinite
purposes, types and time duration and are to be performed by
qualified purohit
(priests).
9.
moH-jaal:
the web (jaal) of
delusion created by moH in life-travels of all creations. moH
is one of the infinite creation shk~ti (power) of maayaa
which affects all creations into deluding into not seeing the Truth of
any worldly activities (just like the fate of USA Republicans since
Barack Obama became their President.
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
multi-light-energy-mass spectrum) which becomes
aat~maa = soul in
every living being through its reflection image in maayaa)

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 including disease causatives 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
nrk
(hell) and/or
being born as living beings in the form of plants, animals or lower
forms of life or “inanimate” creations.

“I”, Champak Mistry, have
compiled for my own daily svaaDHyaay (self-study of
Life-sciences Knowledge in vED and translating it into currently usable
life-sciences supplemented by evolving Earthling's life-sciences
research and life-application and use in daily stsNg
(volunteer lifecoaching and mentoring and learning wisdom thereof)….with an expression from my Being
of eternal gratitude to all my evergreen vEDik teachers in all puraaAN
texts…. and especially the Sanskrit-Hindi-English Dictionary created
circa 1890 by V. S Apte
supplemented with the authors of other Sanskrit/Hind/English
dictionaries and grammar books, without whom connecting me/us to puraaAN
