ReplyDeleteWow !!!! Very interesting...! Thanks for sharing. By the way, do you know that the words that read the same from both directions (i.e. left to right... or right to left) are called "palindromes" ! There could be palindromic sentences too... like...."Madam, I'm Adam" :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you! I also like the fact that you brought up palindromes, I'll be sure to use them sometime in the future! :-)
DeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteरामकृष्णविलोमाकाव्यं - A rare palindromic poetry.
Sanskrit is famous for certain specialities, one of them being the
Palindrome like "विकटकवि".
This poetic composition, which was written by the scholar Dyvagyna Surya
Pandita in the 14th Century, is a marvelous example of palindromic verses.
It also has another speciality - This set of poems, when read forward
relate to Rama and the Ramayana, and when read in reverse relate to Krishna
and the Mahabharata.
(Forward) तं भूसुतामुक्तिमुदारहासं वन्दे यतो भव्यभवम् दयाश्रीः ।
"I pay my homage to Him who rescued Sita, whose laughter is captivating,
whose incarnation is
grand, and from whom mercy and splendor arise everywhere."
(Backward) श्रीयादवं भव्यभतोयदेवं संहारदामुक्तिमुतासुभूतम् ॥
"I bow before that Sri Krishna, the descendent of Yaadava family; who is a
divinity of the sun as
well as the moon; who destroyed Putana who only gave destruction; and who
is the soul of all
this universe."
