कुमारसम्भवम् (महाकवि कालिदास - संस्कृत मूल एवं हिन्दी अनुवाद)

( १७२ ) श्रुतम्—त्वया सम्यक् आकर्णितम् you have heard the right thing According to Mallinatha यथा is used in the sense of 'truth ; correct thing' It may also be taken with the following words viz, त्वया यथा श्रुतं अयं जन: etc, as you have heard this person is anxious to attain the highest post Or, तथा may be provided after यथा, then it will be construed as यथा श्रुतं तत्तथा it is so as as you have heard उच्चैः पदलङ्घनोत्सुकः—उच्चैः पदस्य (स्थानस्य) लङ्घने (प्राप्तौ) उत्सुक anxious to attain the lofty post This lofty post is none but to be the wife of Shiva लङ्घन means 'crossing', as well as 'rising to or towards' तदवाप्तिसाधनं—तस्य (उच्चैःपदस्य) अवाप्तेः (प्राप्तेः) साधनं (उपायः) तदवाप्ति- साधनम् a means of obtaining that किल—indeed. But Mallinatha takes it in the sense of 'falsely' (अलीके) i. e., the penance which is a means of attaining it, does not seem to be so. अगतिः—अव- रोधः, विश्रान्तिः non-reaching ; unsuccessfulness 'मनो- रथानां अगतिर्न विद्यते' is a general statement meaning that nothing is inaccessible to desire 64 CHANGE OF VOICE:—(हे) वेदविदां वर ! त्वं यथा श्रुत- वान् अनेन जनेन उच्चैः पदलङ्घनोत्सुकेन (भूयते) अनेन तपसा तदवाप्तिसाधनेन (भूयते) किल, मनोरथानां अगत्या न विद्यते ॥ ६४ ॥ HINDI TRANSLATION :—हे वेद के ज्ञाताओं में श्रेष्ठ ! तुम ने जैसा सुना है (वह ठीक है), यह व्यक्ति ऊँचे पद की प्राप्ति
