Sanskrit Quote requested by Mr. L.N. Gupta, New York


इतरतापशतानि यदृच्छया वितर तानि सहे चतुरानन

अरसिकेषु कवित्वनिवेदनं शिरसि मा लिख मा लिख मा लिख

English Translation of Sanskrit Quote

Oh God, give me other hundreds of sorrows as you wish. I will bear them.
But don't write my destiny to recite a poem to an uninterested person. Never! Never!! Never!!!

    Thank you very much, Shri Paranjape. I learned this verse in 6th or 7th grade Sanskrit class but forgot the first line. I must say you are doing a great service by running this blog. Incidentally, do you like my poems? If you do, please leave a comment on my blog. Thank you.

    wow, I so share that sentiment! I love to write, and I always think of Spirit as providing not just the ideas to write about, but also the audience.

    warmly,
    Laura

    Hi Kiran,
    My dad used to utter this proverb when i was a kid. It goes like "Anantaparam keela shabda shastram.... "ends with "ksheeramibambu madhyat". I have forgotten the middle. It was about learning what is relevant to one, like a duck filters out its food from water. Do you happen to know the entire proverb?
