    Meaning of mavasha

    5 months ago 107

    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.”
