 SUBHASHITHANI:370

परापवादे मूकः परदारनिरीक्षणेऽन्यन्धः ।
पंगुः परधनहरे स जयति लोकत्रयं पुरुषः ॥

Panguh paradhana hare sa jayati lokatrayam purushah II

कोSन्धो योSकार्यरतः को बधिरः यो हितानि न श्रुणोति |
को मूकः  यः काले प्रियाणि वक्तुं न जानाति ||
Kondhah yokaaryaratah ko badhirah yo hitaani na shrunoti.
Ko mookah yah kaale priyaani vaktum na jaanaati.-– prashnottararatnamAlikA

तिष्ठामि पादेन बली न पङ्गः, दाता फलानां न कृतिर्न यत्नः।
मौनेन जीवामि मुनिर्न मूकः, सेव्योऽस्मि कोऽयं नृपतिर्न देवः। Riddle ( Prahelika )
Tishtaami paadena bali na pangah; daataa phalaanaam na krutir na yatnah I
Maunena jeevaami munir na mookah; sevyosmi koyam nrupatir na devah II

I am standing on my legs but neither Bali nor a lame. I gift fruits but not a  rich man.
I live in silence but neither a saint nor a dumb. I help people but neither a king nor an angel.

सन्ध्यादिकालरहितं न च मे वियोगो
ह्यन्तः प्रबोधरहितं बधिरो न मूकः ।
एवं विकल्परहितं न च भावशुद्धं
ज्ञानामृतं समरसं गगनोपमोऽहम् ॥ Avadoota gita 3.28

I am devoid of time, such as twilight - I have no disjunction. I am devoid of interiorness and awakening. I am neither deaf nor mute. I am thus devoid of illusion. I am not made pure by moods of mind. I am the nectar of knowledge, homogeneous existence, like the sky. यस्य प्रसाद कलया बधिरः श्रृणोति , पंगुः प्रधावति जवेन च वक्ति मूकः। अंधः प्रपश्यति सुतं लभते च बन्ध्या , तं देवमेव वरदं शरणं गतोSस्मि ।।Alavandar “O Varada! I surrender myself to You. A mere drop of Your grace causes the deaf to hear, the lame to run, enables the dumb to speak, helps the blind to see and has a barren woman delivers a child”. पङ्गो धन्यस्त्वमसि न गृहं यासि योऽर्थी परेषाम् धन्योऽन्ध त्वं धनमवदतां नेक्षसे यन्मुखानि । श्लाघ्यो मूक त्वमसि कृपणं स्तौषि नार्थाशया यः स्तोतव्यस्त्वं बधिर गिरं यः खलानां न श‍ृणोसि ॥ २१ Let you feel  lucky being lame, for you will not go begging to other's house; feel happy that you are blind, for you won't see rich persons  refusing help; feel great that you are dumb, for you don't need to praise misers; thank lord for your being deaf , that you don't need to hear fools. मूकं करोति वाचालं पंगुं लंघयते गिरिम् । यत्कृपा तमहं वन्दे परमानन्दमाधवम् ॥ Mookam karoti vaachaalam pangum langayate girim I Yatkrupaa tamaham vane paramaatmaananda Madhavam II I pray to Lord Krishna, by whose grace a dumb becomes wonderful speaker, a lame person climbs a mountain,    SRI KRISHNAYA HUBHYAM NAMAH
