किं ज्योतिस्तवभानुमानहनि मे रात्रौ प्रदीपादिकं

स्यादेवं रविदीपदर्शनविधौ किं ज्योतिराख्याहि मे ।

चक्षुस्तस्य निमीलनादिसमये किं धीर्धियो दर्शने

किं तत्राहमतो भवान्परमकं ज्योतिस्तदस्मि प्रभो ॥

Meaning :

Guru: What provides you with light?

Sishya: By day, the sun, by night, a lamp.

Guru: What is the light that sees these lights?

Sishya: The eye.

Guru: What is the light that illumines the eye?

Sishya: The intellect.

Guru: What is it that knows the intellect?

Sishya: It is the "I".

Guru: Therefore, you are the light of lights.

Sishya: Truly, I am That. (I realize that I am)

Recently came across this magnificent ekashloki by adi shankaracharya which beautifully explains how each aspect of this world is interconnected with each other.... Aham bramhaasmi 🕉️🪷

प्रोद्यद्वीचिविताडयञ्च वसुधां पूर्वानुभावाद्वदन्,

दत्तैनां कमलां पुरा मधुभिदे इत्याह वार्धीश्वरः ।

एवं देहि सुतां शुभां हि वसुधे तस्मै हि मद्वत्तथा,

शङ्के राघवनायिके इदमतः मध्ये तयोर्भावितम् ॥

Please can anyone check the grammar, word usage ,meter and semantics of this verse by me ..... Would be grateful.....

Again back to the thing and I have written a sloka on vyasa and valmiki together..

प्रपद्ये व्यासवाल्मीकी शुभाङ्गौ कविपुङ्गवौ ।

यौ काव्यदेवतलक्ष्म्याः हस्तयोः पद्मरूपिणौ ॥

How is it ?

Any mistakes please feel free to point out....

Thought about writing about kamsa and came up with this verse :

क्षिप्त्वा स्वकीयं पितरं स्वराज्यात् आदाय पीठं निजमित्रवाक्यात्,

भृशं निलिम्पानपि त्रासयित्वा अपालयद् भोजपतिः पुरीं च ॥

Please help in identifying the meter ( i am confused between vamshasta, indravajra and upendravajra and such) and if any discrepancy in laghu guru pattern, please correct.

I had tried to write a verse in sanskrit in vasantatilaka meter. Just wanted to ask if there are any mistakes in my verse
