KALPA VRUKSHA AND KAAMA DHENU- कल्पद्रुमः,कामधेनू

SUBHASHITHANI:219

कल्पद्रुमः कल्पितमेव सूते सा कामधेनू कामितमेव दोग्धि।

चिन्तामणिश्चिन्तितमेव दत्ते सतां तु सङ्गः सकलं प्रसूते॥

kalpadrumah kalpitameva soote saa kaamadhukkamitameva dogdhi |

chintaamaNischintitameva datte sataam hi sange sakalam prasoote ||

Wish tree (Kalpa dhrumah)gives only that is wished, Wish cow (Kama dhenu)gives only that is wished, Wish stone(Chintaamani) gives only that is wished, but saints' accompaniment produces everything even without asking.

 कल्पद्रुमोऽपि काले न भवेद्यदि फलप्रदः ।
 को विशेषस्तदा तस्य वन्यैरन्यमहीरुहैः ।।

Kalpa drumo  api kale na bhavedyadi phalapradah I

Ko viseshastadaa tasa vanyairanya maheeruhaih II

If the kalpaka vruksha does not help at the hour of need , then it is no better than any other tree found in the forest.

मातेव रक्षति पितेव हिते नियुङ्ग्ते
कान्तेव चापि रमयत्यपनीय खेदम्  |
लक्ष्मी तनोति वितनोति च दिक्षु कीर्ति
किंकिं न साधयति कल्पलतेव विद्या. ||
Maateva rakshati piteva hite niyungte.
Kaanteva chaapi ramayatyapaneeya khedam.
Lakshmi tanoti vitanoti cha diskhu keertim
kimkim na saadhayati kalpalateva Vidyaa.
It protects you like a mother. It will show you the right path like a father. It will clear your fatigue and makes you happy like a wife. It will spread your fame in all directions. It will give you a lot of wealth. Education is like  Kalpa Vrukshaa   that will give you anything you wish. 

जय धुनि बंदी बेद धुनि मंगल गान निसान।

सुनि हरषहिं बरषहिं बिबुध सुरतरु सुमन सुजान॥दोहा ॥Ram charit manas

Jaya dhuni bhandi ved dhuni mangala gaan nisaana I

Suni harashahi bharashahi bibuda sutaru sumana sujaana II

At  the time of Mata Sita’s wedding , there were chorus of Jaya-jaya, chorus of Vande-vande, chanting of the vedas,  Auspicious music and beating of kettle drums ;hearing this the devas were highly pleased and there were showers of flowers from the holy Kalpa taru.

 कल्पद्रुमैः किं कनकाचलस्थैः परोपकारप्रतिलम्भदुःस्थैः ।
 वरं करीरो मरुमार्गवर्ती यः पान्थसार्थं कुरुते कृतार्थं ।।

Kalpadrumaih kim kanakaachalasthaih paropakaara pratilambadusthaih I

Varam kkareero marumargavartee yah paanthasaartham kurute krutaartham II

What is the use of Kalpa vruksah which is present in the Meru mountain for the one looking for help on the earth? ; A lonely tree is more satisfying to a man wandering in the desert.

कल्पद्रुमो न जानाति न ददाति बृहस्पतिः ।
अयं तु जगतीजानिर्जानाति च ददाति च ।।

Kalpadrumo na jaanaati na dadaati Bhruhaspatih I

Ayam tu jagatee jaani jaanaati cha dadaati cha II

Kalpaka  tree (drumah) does not know my plight, Bruhaspati does not help me with knowledge; However, this king knows my need and provides for it too.

नामु राम  को कलपतरु कलि कल्यान निवासु |

जो सिमरत  भयो भाँग ते तुलसी तुलसीदास ||

Naam Raam ko kalpataru kali kalyaan nivaasu I

Jo simrat hayo bhaag te tulasi tulasidas IITulsi das

The name ‘RAM’ is like a wish-fulfilling tree(Kalpataru)and is the store house of all auspiciousness; by meditating on that name TulsiDas have become as pure as tulsi leaf.

यस्य यस्य यथाकामं षड्रसेष्वभिपूजितम्।
तत्सर्वं कामधुक्क्षिप्रमभिवर्ष कृते मम।।1.52.22।।Ramayana

Vasishta requesting Kamadenu to feed Visvamitra’s army-
O Kamadhenu! quickly entertain them for my sake with the food of six kinds of tastes (varieties of rich dishes) as desired by each.
