Bob Chittie Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Does anyone know what 'Agre Dhavati Dhavati' means? (Its a long story). Thanks. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of Phoolan Devi Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 It's Sanskrit, not Hindi. Agre = at the front, forward Dhavati = procedes, advances, runs, also: attacks Agre dhavati dhavati = he/one advances steadily to the fore, or suchlike.

Bob Chittie Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Thanks very much Ghost. I apologize for my ignorance. So 'advancing steadily to the front'? Could you use it in a context? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of Phoolan Devi Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 No problem. This very phrase is part of a Hindu shloka: "Purva jamnarjitam vidya, purva janmarjitam dhanam, agre dhavati dhavati". Check up the translations on the these links www.acbspn.com/ekadashis/parama.htm www.bvml.org/books/SB/05/14.html Mind you that Sanskrit has often very multi-layered meanings and translations are often also "interpretations". But I think you'll get the gist from these links. Uff, wish my Sanskrit wasn't that rusty! Cheers TGoPD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
