Sanskrit Made Simple

 

              As SSC board examinations are around the corner, with the prospect of guiding all the Maharashtra SSC board aspirants, I want to share my experience and success of scoring full marks i.e 100 of 100 marks in (full) Sanskrit and provide some useful tips and tricks to you all!            Let's start with the first section, i.e. सुगम संस्कृतम् , which is for 8 marks. It is very easy to score those 8 marks as all the questions are based on student's learning ability. Read aloud and practice writing all the चित्रपदकोष and सड्ख्या. Be thorough with it. For समय, practice from the textbook, make your own examples and write the timing in words and vice-versa.            Now, for the second section of prose, which is for 20 marks, 2 passages are provided on the basis of which you are expected to do the given activities. Both passages are for 7 marks each. Let's start with the first passage; the first question is अवबोधनम्, in which there are 4 sub-questions. Read the pas

 

😄 माध्यमभाषया उत्तरत। 1) ‘कं  संजघान ’  इति  श्लोकं माध्यमभाषया स्पष्टीकुरुत।       The above question is from the poetry lesson चित्रकाव्यम् , which means image poetry. Such lessons enhance the intellectual power and knowledge of children.      This verse is an example of अन्तरलाप .  There are four questions, which are given in the verse and the answer of each of them is hidden in the question itself. This is the beauty of शब्दालड्लार .  The answer to the question is obtained by combining or dropping a particular letter (in the question)  1)    The first question is  कं संजघान कृष्णः?  Whom did Krishna kill? By combining  कं  and  सं,  the answer is obtained –  कंसं जघान कृष्णः।  (Kansa) 2)    The second question is  का शीतलवाहिनी गड्गा?  Which (part of) Ganga is coolly flowing? By combining   का   and  शीतलवाहिनी , we get the answer - काशीतलवाहिनी    गड्गा ।  (Ganga that flows at the base of Kashi). 3)    The third question is  के दारपोषणरताः?  Who takes care

संस्कृतनाट्यस्तबकः प्रथमं पुष्पम्।  😄 माध्यमभाषया लिखत। 1) दुष्यन्तस्य कानि स्वभाववै शिष्ट्यानि ज्ञायन्ते ?       अभिज्ञानशाकुन्तलम् is a very famous work of महाकवि कालिदास . Human characters are beautifully depicted in various emotional states of human mind and heart. The first extract in the lesson संस्कृतनाट्यस्तबकः reveals some aspects of  the noble King Dushyant’s nature.       Despite being a King, Dushyant was modest, obedient  and noble enough to accept the orders of Vaikhanas regarding taking back the arrow, which was intended for the hermitage deer. His sensitive nature can be observed during his conversation with the charioteer, when he tells him to keep the chariot away from the hermitage, so that it doesn’t disturb the inmates of the hermitage. King Dushyant shows his simplicity by entering the hermitage with a simple attire. Although he takes off his royal ornaments and keeps away his bow, he carries the kingship in his mind. King Dushyant is res

व्यसने मित्रपरीक्षा  😄 माध्यमभाषया उत्तरत। १)   ‘स नरः शत्रुनन्दनः’ इति वचनं कथायाः आधारेण स्पष्टीकुरुत।      The lesson व्यसने मित्रपरीक्षा from the मित्रलाभः section from Hitopadesh , a compilation of didactic stories by Narayan Pandit sheds light on the fact that the test of a true friend is done in the times of calamity.       The deer who blindly trusted the jackal without paying heed to the timely advice given by the crow about not trusting an unknown person at the first go found itself trapped in the net laid by the field owner when he observed the deer eating corn in his field regularly. The deer realised that the jackal had cheated it, when its cry for help was turned down with an flimsy excuse.      When the crow came looking for the deer, the deer admitted that- as he had disregarded the crow’s advice, he had met with his untoward calamity.  The trapped deer had indeed become the cause of joy/ happiness to its real enemies i.e. the shrewd jackal and the field owner, who w
