Sri Desikan's Subhashitaneevi contd..

Position of those seeking shelter of Mahan's --Sadasrita padditah...8

**During lunar eclipse all waters become as pure as and holy as the water of river Ganges[there fore one can purify oneself by bathing then]Similarly the slightest or even a momentary contact with a person who has a clean character, pure heart and is a scholar will remove one's impurity.

**Though arrogance generates a lot of disturbance and makes a person commit a lot of sins, all this will disappear gradually by association with good and great people.

**The dirty street water flowing during rains becomes auspicious when it joins the Ganga. Similarly association with good persons cures one of all blemishes and make's one pure.

**Poetry become auspicious only when it is sung in the praise of God.

11**The wise statements of poets with good intentions are churned out of thoughts.It tastes like the nectar that was churned out of the milky ocean!

9** A Satkavi is one who creates a unique style and brings the deviants into righteous path. He is a creator like Brahma !
