Meaning of mavasha
In the line of Bhaktamar:
“tam Manatunga mavasha samupaiti Lakshmih”
the word written as “mavasha” is actually from Sanskrit “avaśā” (अवशा).
Meaning of “avaśā / mavasha” here:
- of her own accord
- without being forced or commanded
- spontaneously, willingly
So the sense of the whole line is:
> “Such a Lakshmi (prosperity, good fortune) comes to Acharya Manatunga on her own, without any compulsion.”
In simple Hindi/English bhāṣā:
- “Lakshmi unke pās apne āp ā jātī hai, binā kisī dabāv ke.”
- “Fortune comes to him freely and naturally.”
