हयवरट् लण् ञमङणनम् झभञ्
घढधष् जबगडदश् खफछठथचटतव्
कपय् शषसर् हल्
इति माहेश्र्वर सूत्राणि
Sage Panini heard the Maheśvara Sutras
He then composed Aṣtādhyāyī sutras
They are the zip files that can overwhelm us
Our teachers together unfold them for us
Upanishads teach us ultimate Satyā
To understand it better, we need the Samskrita Vidyā
With the power of Śiva and Śakti
This universe comes to manifest
With the power of ṣabda and arthā
Samskritam becomes the best
Language is made for human communication
Through which possible is daily transaction
Brahman is the basis for everything
Brick is the basis for a building
Cell is the basis for an organism
Alphabet is the basis for a language
Vowels and consonants woven together
Nouns and verbs crowned with feathers
Vibhakti and conjugations add different flavor
And our teachers here are truly life savers
Gender is not based on the material meaning
Gender is based on a particular word ending
A root takes many branches and greening
A word takes many forms and meanings
Meanings can change by wrong pronunciation
That makes us learn with great appreciation
Tenses and moods can hold us with brace
Learning them will make us fly with grace
Letters together become a nice mālā
We can learn together enjoy this gala
Words can be rearranged intervening
Sentence still holds the same meaning
Samskritam is so very well done
After multiple spins it teaches that one
Samskritam is so very well done to stun
Let us learn it with some fun and pun
Swamini svadtmavidyanadaji Samskritam classes. Beginning Sanskrit
