निमन्त्रणोत्सवा विप्राः गावो नवतृणोत्सवाः |
पत्युत्साहयुता भार्या अहं कृष्णचरणोत्सवः ||
- चाणक्य नीति (१२/१३ )
भावार्थ - गृहस्थों के घरों में कर्मकाण्ड करने वाले ब्राह्मणों को
जब भी कोई निमन्त्रण प्राप्त होता है तो वह उनके लिये एक उत्सव
के समान होता है , तथा गायों को जब खाने के लिये हरी घास मिल
जाती है तो वही उनके लिये एक उत्सव के समान है | एक पति के
लिये परिवार में उत्सव का वातावरण तब होता है जब उसकी पत्नी
प्रसन्नचित्त और उत्साह से परिपूर्ण हो | परन्तु मेरे लिये तो भगवान
श्रीकृष्ण के चरणकमलों की सेवा करना ही एक उत्सव में सम्मिलित
होने के समान है |
Nimantranotsavaa vipraah gaavo navatrunotsavaahs.
Patyutsaahayutaa bhaaryaa aham krushnacharanotsavah.
Nimantranotsava = nimantrana + utsava. Nimantrana=
invitation. Utsavaa = festival, merriment. Vipraah=
domestic priests performing various religious cermonies.
Gaavo = cows. Nava +truna+utsavaah. Nava = new.
Truna = grass. Pati +utsaaha+ yutaa. Pati = husband.
Utsaaha= energy, cheerfulness Yutaa = endowed with.
Bhaaryaa=wife. Aham = I am. Krishna+ charana+ utsava.
Krishnacharana= at the feet of Lord Krishna.
i.e. Whenever domestic priests get any invitation for performing
any religious ritual , it is an occasion for merriment for them, and
whenever cows get fresh green grass as their fodder, it is also like
a festival for them. For a husband there is always an environment of
festivity in the household if his wife is endowed with cheerfulness
and energy. But in my case being at the feet of Lord Krishna and
serving him is like a festival for me.
