पार्वतीफणिबालेन्दुभस्ममन्दाकिनीयुता |
पवर्गरचिता मूर्तिरपवर्गप्रदायिनी || - सुभषितरत्नाकरः
अर्थ - माता पार्वती, फणि (सर्प) , बाल चन्द्रमा , भस्म, तथा
मन्दाकिनी (पापनाशिनी गङ्गा नदी ) द्वारा सुशोभित मूर्ति
(की आराधना) हमें स्वर्ग में स्थान प्रदान करती है |
(इस सुभाषित में भगवान शंकर के नाम का कहीं पर भी उल्लेख
नहीं है परन्तु प्रतीकात्मक रूप से संस्कृत व्याकरण के व्यञ्जनों में
'पवर्ग' - प,फ, ब, भ, तथा म - से प्रारम्भ होने वाले शब्दों द्वारा
उनका स्मरण कर उन्हें मोक्षदायक कहा गया है | विभिन्न
प्रकार की स्वर-व्यञ्जन की संधियों का भी सुन्दर उपयोग इस
श्लोक में कवि द्वारा किया गया है | )
Parvati-phani-baalendu-bhasma-nandaakinee-yutaa.
Pavarga-rachitaa moortirapavarga-pradaayinee.
Parvati = Goddesss Paarvati, the consort of God Shiva.
Phani = a snake(used as a garland by God Shiva.
Baalendu = baala+indu. Baala = infant. Indu = Moon.
(a crescent Moon). Bhasma = ash.(smeared by Shiva over
his body). Mandaakini = reference to the sacred river Ganges
(which God Shiva allowed to land over his forehead while
coming from Heaven - reference the Legend of arrival of
sacred river Ganges from Heaven for the salvation of the
sons of King Sagar - for details refer to WikipediA.)
Yutaa = attached with. Pavarga = a series of consonants
(letters pa, pha, ba, bha, and ma in Devanaagari script.)
Rachita = constructed. Moortih = a statue. Apavarg =
Heaven. Pradaayani = bestowing, gifting.
i.e. Let the worship of the idol decorated by the association of
goddess Parvati ( sitting on his lap as a consort), a snake (on his
neck as a garland) ,a crescent moon (over his forehead) ,ash
(smeared all over the body),and the sacred river Ganges ( flowing
over his forehead), provide us salvation and a place in Heaven.
(By the skillful use of words of 'Pavarga' and joining different
words (called 'Sandhi) the author has indirectly described an idol
of God Shiva along with his consort, which provides 'Svarga' to
his worshipers. )
