Giving
a whole new spin to the term ‘world music’ — A.R.Rahman spins his
magic on an absolute scorcher, featuring Jordanian singer –Farah Siraj
along with Nepalese Buddhist Nun Ani Choying. With the traditional
Nepalese Buddhist hymn forming the base of the song, layered with a
traditional Jordanian melody, and bridged seamlessly with composition
written by A.R.Rahman, this song truly brings together diverse cultures
and musical genres. Everything from the background vocals to Sivamani’s
percussion takes a big leap across musical styles and creates a storm of
inspired rhythms, to give this track that extra flavour. Completely
based around the theme of motherhood, compassion & ultimately
happiness, this is the very first track of what promises to be an
unforgettable Season 3 of CS@MTV!

देवनागरी में लिखी ऋग्वेद की पाण्डुलिपि

देवनागरी एक भारतीय लिपि है जिसमें अनेक भारतीय भाषाएँ तथा कई विदेशी भाषाएँ लिखी जाती हैं। यह बायें से दायें लिखी जाती है। इसकी पहचान एक क्षैतिज रेखा से है जिसे ‘शिरोरेखा’ कहते हैं। संस्कृत, पालि, हिन्दी, मराठी, कोंकणी, सिन्धी, कश्मीरी, हरियाणवी, डोगरी, खस, नेपाल भाषा (तथा अन्य नेपाली भाषाएँ), तमांग भाषा, गढ़वाली, बोडो, अंगिका, मगही, भोजपुरी, नागपुरी, मैथिली, संताली, राजस्थानी बघेली आदि भाषाएँ और स्थानीय बोलियाँ भी देवनागरी में लिखी जाती हैं। इसके अतिरिक्त कुछ स्थितियों में गुजराती, पंजाबी, बिष्णुपुरिया मणिपुरी, रोमानी और उर्दू भाषाएँ भी देवनागरी में लिखी जाती हैं। देवनागरी विश्व में सर्वाधिक प्रयुक्त लिपियों में से एक है। यह दक्षिण एशिया की १७० से अधिक भाषाओं को लिखने के लिए प्रयुक्त हो रही है। [4]

मुंबई के परल नामक उपनगर मे प्राप्त प्राचीन देवनागरी शिलालेख यह इ.स ११०९ बनाया गया था
मेलबर्न ऑस्ट्रेलिया की एक ट्राम पर देवनागरी लिपि

परिचय

अधिकतर भाषाओं की तरह देवनागरी भी बायें से दायें लिखी जाती है। प्रत्येक शब्द के ऊपर एक रेखा खिंची होती है (कुछ वर्णों के ऊपर रेखा नहीं होती है) इसे शिरोरेखा कहते हैं। देवनागरी का विकास ब्राह्मी लिपि से हुआ है। यह एक ध्वन्यात्मक लिपि है जो प्रचलित लिपियों (रोमन, अरबी, चीनी आदि) में सबसे अधिक वैज्ञानिक है। इससे वैज्ञानिक और व्यापक लिपि शायद केवल अध्वव लिपि है। भारत की कई लिपियाँ देवनागरी से बहुत अधिक मिलती-जुलती हैं, जैसे- बांग्ला, गुजराती, गुरुमुखी आदि। कम्प्यूटर प्रोग्रामों की सहायता से भारतीय लिपियों को परस्पर परिवर्तन बहुत आसान हो गया है।

वाराणसी में देवनागरी लिपि में लिखे विज्ञापन

भारतीय भाषाओं के किसी भी शब्द या ध्वनि को देवनागरी लिपि में ज्यों का त्यों लिखा जा सकता है और फिर लिखे पाठ को लगभग ‘हू-ब-हू’ उच्चारण किया जा सकता है, जो कि रोमन लिपि और अन्य कई लिपियों में सम्भव नहीं है, जब तक कि उनका विशेष मानकीकरण न किया जाये, जैसे आइट्रांस या IAST

मुंबई के सार्वजनिक यातायात के टिकट पर देवनागरी

इसमें कुल ५२ अक्षर हैं, जिसमें १४ स्वर और ३८ व्यंजन हैं। अक्षरों की क्रम व्यवस्था (विन्यास) भी बहुत ही वैज्ञानिक है। स्वर-व्यंजन, कोमल-कठोर, अल्पप्राण-महाप्राण, अनुनासिक्य-अन्तस्थ-उष्म इत्यादि वर्गीकरण भी वैज्ञानिक हैं। एक मत के अनुसार देवनगर (काशी) मे प्रचलन के कारण इसका नाम देवनागरी पड़ा।

भारत तथा एशिया की अनेक लिपियों के संकेत देवनागरी से अलग हैं पर उच्चारण व वर्ण-क्रम आदि देवनागरी के ही समान हैं, क्योंकि वे सभी ब्राह्मी लिपि से उत्पन्न हुई हैं (उर्दू को छोड़कर)। इसलिए इन लिपियों को परस्पर आसानी से लिप्यन्तरित किया जा सकता है। देवनागरी लेखन की दृष्टि से सरल, सौन्दर्य की दृष्टि से सुन्दर और वाचन की दृष्टि से सुपाठ्य है।

‘देवनागरी’ शब्द की व्युत्पत्ति

देवनागरी
या नागरी नाम का प्रयोग “क्यों” प्रारम्भ हुआ और इसका व्युत्पत्तिपरक
प्रवृत्तिनिमित्त क्या था- यह अब तक पूर्णतः निश्चित नहीं है।

(क) ‘नागर’ अपभ्रंश या गुजराती “नागर” ब्राह्मणों से उसका संबंध बताया गया है। पर दृढ़ प्रमाण के अभाव में यह मत संदिग्ध है।

(ख) दक्षिण में इसका प्राचीन नाम “नंदिनागरी” था। हो सकता है “नंदिनागर” कोई स्थानसूचक हो और इस लिपि का उससे कुछ संबंध रहा हो।

(ग) यह भी हो सकता है कि “नागर” जन इसमें लिखा करते थे, अत: “नागरी” अभिधान पड़ा और जब संस्कृत के ग्रंथ भी इसमें लिखे जाने लगे तब “देवनागरी” भी कहा गया।

(घ) सांकेतिक चिह्नों या देवताओं की उपासना में प्रयुक्त
त्रिकोण, चक्र आदि संकेतचिह्नों को “देवनागर” कहते थे। कालांतर में नाम के
प्रथमाक्षरों का उनसे बोध होने लगा और जिस लिपि में उनको स्थान मिला- वह
‘देवनागरी’ या ‘नागरी’ कही गई। इन सब पक्षों के मूल में कल्पना का
प्राधान्य है, निश्चयात्मक प्रमाण अनुपलब्ध हैं।

इतिहास

देवनागरी, भारत, नेपाल, तिब्बत और दक्षिण पूर्व एशिया की लिपियों के ब्राह्मी लिपि परिवार का हिस्सा है।[5][6] गुजरात से कुछ अभिलेख प्राप्त हुए हैं जिनकी भाषा संस्कृत है और लिपि नागरी लिपि। ये अभिलेख पहली ईसवी से लेकर चौथी ईसवी के कालखण्ड के हैं।[7]
ध्यातव्य है कि नागरी लिपि, देवनागरी से बहुत निकट है और देवनागरी का
पूर्वरूप है। अतः ये अभिलेख इस बात के साक्ष्य हैं कि प्रथम शताब्दी में भी
भारत में देवनागरी का उपयोग आरम्भ हो चुका था। नागरी, सिद्धम और शारदा तीनों ही ब्राह्मी की वंशज हैं।[8] रुद्रदमन
के शिलालेखों का समय प्रथम शताब्दी का समय है और इसकी लिपि की देवनागरी से
निकटता पहचानी जा सकती हैं। जबकि देवनागरी का जो वर्तमान मानक स्वरूप है,
वैसी देवनागरी का उपयोग १००० ई के पहले आरम्भ हो चुका था। [9][10]

मध्यकाल के शिलालेखों के अध्ययन से स्पष्ट होता है कि नागरी से
सम्बन्धित लिपियों का बड़े पैमाने पर प्रसार होने लगा था। कहीं-कहीं
स्थानीय लिपि और नागरी लिपि दोनों में सूचनाएँ अंकित मिलतीं हैं। उदाहरण
के लिए, ८वीं शताब्दी के पट्टदकल
(कर्नाटक) के स्तम्भ पर सिद्धमात्रिका और तेलुगु-कन्नड लिपि के आरम्भिक
रूप - दोनों में ही सूचना लिखी हुई है। कांगड़ा (हिमाचल प्रदेश) के
ज्वालामुखी अभिलेख में शारदा और देवनागरी दोनों में लिखा हुआ है। [11]

७वीं शताब्दी तक देवनागरी का नियमित रूप से उपयोग होना आरम्भ हो गया था और लगभग १००० ई तक देवनागरी का पूर्ण विकास हो गया था।[12][13]

डॉ॰ द्वारिका प्रसाद सक्सेना के अनुसार सर्वप्रथम देवनागरी लिपि का प्रयोग गुजरात के नरेश जयभट्ट (700-800 ई.) के शिलालेख में मिलता है। आठवीं शताब्दी में चित्रकूट, नवीं में बड़ौदा के ध्रुवराज भी अपने राज्यादेशों में इस लिपि का उपयोग किया हैं।

758 ई. का राष्ट्रकूट राजा दन्तिदुर्ग का सामगढ़ ताम्रपट मिलता है जिस पर देवनागरी अंकित है। शिलाहारवंश के गंडारादित्य प्रथम के उत्कीर्ण लेख की लिपि देवनागरी है। इसका समय बारहवीं शताब्दी हैं। ग्यारहवीं शताब्दी के चोलराजा राजेन्द्र के सिक्के मिले हैं जिन पर देवनागरी लिपि अंकित है। राष्ट्रकूट राजा इंद्रराज (दसवीं शताब्दी) के लेख में भी देवनागरी का व्यवहार किया है। प्रतिहार राजा महेंद्रपाल (891-907) का दानपत्र भी देवनागरी लिपि में है।

कनिंघम की पुस्तक में सबसे प्राचीन मुसलमानों सिक्के के रूप में महमूद गजनवी द्वारा चलाये गए चांदी के सिक्के का वर्णन है जिस पर देवनागरी लिपि में संस्कृत अंकित है। मुहम्मद विनसाम (1192-1205) के सिक्कों पर लक्ष्मी की मूर्ति के साथ देवनागरी लिपि का व्यवहार हुआ है। शम्सुद्दीन इल्तुतमिश (1210-1235) के सिक्कों पर भी देवनागरी अंकित है। सानुद्दीन फिरोजशाह प्रथम, जलालुद्दीन रज़िया, बहराम शाह, अलाऊद्दीन मसूदशाह, नासिरुद्दीन महमूद, मुईजुद्दीन, गयासुद्दीन बलवन, मुईजुद्दीन कैकूबाद, जलालुद्दीन हीरो सानी, अलाउद्दीन महमद शाह आदि ने अपने सिक्कों पर देवनागरी अक्षर अंकित किये हैं। अकबर के सिक्कों पर देवनागरी में ‘राम‘ सिया का नाम अंकित है। गयासुद्दीन तुग़लक़, शेरशाह सूरी, इस्लाम शाह, मुहम्मद आदिलशाह, गयासुद्दीन इब्ज, ग्यासुद्दीन सानी आदि ने भी इसी परम्परा का पालन किया।

भाषाविज्ञान की दृष्टि से देवनागरी

भाषावैज्ञानिक दृष्टि से देवनागरी लिपि अक्षरात्मक (सिलेबिक) लिपि मानी जाती है। लिपि के विकाससोपानों की दृष्टि से “चित्रात्मक“, “भावात्मक” और “भावचित्रात्मक” लिपियों के अनंतर “अक्षरात्मक
स्तर की लिपियों का विकास माना जाता है। पाश्चात्य और अनेक भारतीय
भाषाविज्ञानविज्ञों के मत से लिपि की अक्षरात्मक अवस्था के बाद अल्फाबेटिक
(वर्णात्मक) अवस्था का विकास हुआ। सबसे विकसित अवस्था मानी गई है
ध्वन्यात्मक (फोनेटिक) लिपि की। “देवनागरी” को अक्षरात्मक इसलिए कहा जाता
है कि इसके वर्ण- अक्षर (सिलेबिल) हैं- स्वर भी और व्यंजन भी। “क”, “ख” आदि
व्यंजन सस्वर हैं- अकारयुक्त हैं। वे केवल ध्वनियाँ नहीं हैं अपितु सस्वर
अक्षर हैं। अत: ग्रीक, रोमन आदि वर्णमालाएँ हैं। परंतु यहाँ यह ध्यान रखने
की बात है कि भारत की “ब्राह्मी” या “भारती” वर्णमाला की ध्वनियों में
व्यंजनों का “पाणिनि” ने वर्णसमाम्नाय के 14 सूत्रों में जो स्वरूप परिचय दिया है- उसके विषय में “पतंजलि
(द्वितीय शताब्दी ई.पू.) ने यह स्पष्ट बता दिया है कि व्यंजनों में
संनियोजित “अकार” स्वर का उपयोग केवल उच्चारण के उद्देश्य से है। वह तत्वत:
वर्ण का अंग नहीं है। इस दृष्टि से विचार करते हुए कहा जा सकता है कि इस लिपि की वर्णमाला तत्वत: ध्वन्यात्मक है, अक्षरात्मक नहीं।

देवनागरी वर्णमाला

देवनागरी की वर्णमाला में १२ स्वर और ३४ व्यंजन हैं। शून्य या एक या अधिक व्यंजनों और एक स्वर के मेल से एक अक्षर बनता है।

स्वर

निम्नलिखित स्वर आधुनिक हिन्दी (खड़ी बोली) के लिये दिये गये हैं। संस्कृत में इनके उच्चारण थोड़े अलग होते हैं।

वर्णाक्षर “प” के साथ मात्रा IPA उच्चारण “प्” के साथ उच्चारण IAST समतुल्य हिन्दी में वर्णन
/ ə / / pə / a बीच का मध्य प्रसृत स्वर
पा / α: / / pα: / ā दीर्घ विवृत पश्व प्रसृत स्वर
पि / i / / pi / i ह्रस्व संवृत अग्र प्रसृत स्वर
पी / i: / / pi: / ī दीर्घ संवृत अग्र प्रसृत स्वर
पु / u / / pu / u ह्रस्व संवृत पश्व वर्तुल स्वर
पू / u: / / pu: / ū दीर्घ संवृत पश्व वर्तुल स्वर
पे / e: / / pe: / e दीर्घ अर्धसंवृत अग्र प्रसृत स्वर
पै / æ: / / pæ: / ai दीर्घ लगभग-विवृत अग्र प्रसृत स्वर
पो / ο: / / pο: / o दीर्घ अर्धसंवृत पश्व वर्तुल स्वर
पौ / ɔ: / / pɔ: / au दीर्घ अर्धविवृत पश्व वर्तुल स्वर
<कुछ भी नही> <कुछ भी नही> / ɛ / / pɛ / <कुछ भी नहीं> ह्रस्व अर्धविवृत अग्र प्रसृत स्वर

संस्कृत में ऐ दो स्वरों का युग्म होता है और “अ-इ” या “आ-इ” की तरह बोला जाता है। इसी तरह औ “अ-उ” या “आ-उ” की तरह बोला जाता है।

इसके अलावा हिन्दी और संस्कृत में य

  • ऋ — आधुनिक हिन्दी में “रि” की तरह
  • ॠ — केवल संस्कृत में
  • ऌ — केवल संस्कृत में
  • ॡ — केवल संस्कृत में
  • अं — आधे न् , म् , ङ् , ञ् , ण् के लिये या स्वर का नासिकीकरण करने के लिये
  • अँ — स्वर का नासिकीकरण करने के लिये
  • अः — अघोष “ह्” (निःश्वास) के लिये
  • ऍ और ऑ — इनका उपयोग मराठी और और कभी-कभी हिन्दी में अंग्रेजी शब्दों का निकटतम उच्चारण तथा लेखन करने के लिये किया जाता है।

व्यंजन

जब किसी स्वर प्रयोग नहीं हो, तो वहाँ पर ‘अ’ (अर्थात श्वा का स्वर) माना जाता है। स्वर के न होने को हलन्त्‌ अथवा विराम से दर्शाया जाता है। जैसे कि क्‌ ख्‌ ग्‌ घ्‌।

जिन वर्णो को बोलने के लिए स्वर की सहायता लेनी पड़ती है उन्हें व्यंजन कहते है।

दूसरे शब्दो में- व्यंजन उन वर्णों को कहते हैं, जिनके उच्चारण में स्वर वर्णों की सहायता ली जाती है।

जैसे- क, ख, ग, च, छ, त, थ, द, भ, म इत्यादि।

  • इनमें से ळ (मूर्धन्य पार्विक अन्तस्थ) एक अतिरिक्त व्यंजन
    है जिसका प्रयोग हिन्दी में नहीं होता है। मराठी, वैदिक संस्कृत, कोंकणी,
    मेवाड़ी, इत्यादि में सभी का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
  • संस्कृत में ष का उच्चारण ऐसे होता था : जीभ की नोक को मूर्धा (मुँह की छत) की ओर उठाकर श जैसी आवाज़ करना। शुक्ल यजुर्वेद की माध्यंदिनि शाखा में कुछ वाक़्यात में ष का उच्चारण ख की तरह करना मान्य था। आधुनिक हिन्दी में ष का उच्चारण पूरी तरह श की तरह होता है।
  • हिन्दी में ण का उच्चारण
    ज़्यादातर ड़ँ की तरह होता है, यानि कि जीभ मुँह की छत को एक ज़ोरदार ठोकर
    मारती है। हिन्दी में क्षणिक और क्शड़िंक में कोई फ़र्क नहीं। पर संस्कृत
    में ण का उच्चारण न की तरह बिना ठोकर मारे होता था, अन्तर केवल इतना कि जीभ
    ण के समय मुँह की छत को छूती है।

नुक़्ता वाले व्यंजन

हिन्दी भाषा में मुख्यत: अरबी और फ़ारसी
भाषाओं से आये शब्दों को देवनागरी में लिखने के लिये कुछ वर्णों के नीचे
नुक्ता (बिन्दु) लगे वर्णों का प्रयोग किया जाता है (जैसे क़, ज़ आदि)।
किन्तु हिन्दी में भी अधिकांश लोग नुक्तों का प्रयोग नहीं करते। इसके अलावा
संस्कृत, मराठी, नेपाली एवं अन्य भाषाओं को देवनागरी में लिखने में भी
नुक्तों का प्रयोग नहीं किया जाता है।

थ़ का प्रयोग मुख्यतः पहाड़ी भाषाओँ
में होता है जैसे की डोगरी (की उत्तरी उपभाषाओं) में “आंसू” के लिए शब्द है
“अथ़्रू”। हिन्दी में ड़ और ढ़ व्यंजन फ़ारसी या अरबी से नहीं लिये गये
हैं, न ही ये संस्कृत में पाये जाये हैं। असल में ये संस्कृत के साधारण ड
और ढ के बदले हुए रूप हैं।

देवनागरी लिपि के गुण

  • भारतीय भाषाओं के लिये वर्णों की पूर्णता एवं सम्पन्नता (५२ वर्ण, न बहुत अधिक न बहुत कम)।
  • एक ध्वनि के लिये एक सांकेतिक चिह्न — जैसा बोलें वैसा लिखें।
  • लेखन और उच्चारण और में एकरुपता — जैसा किखें, वैसे पढ़े (वाचें)।
  • एक सांकेतिक चिह्न द्वारा केवल एक ध्वनि का निरूपण — जैसा लिखें वैसा पढ़ें।
उपरोक्त दोनों गुणों के कारण ब्राह्मी लिपि का उपयोग करने वाली सभी भारतीय भाषाएँ ‘स्पेलिंग की समस्या’ से मुक्त हैं।
  • स्वर और व्यंजन में तर्कसंगत एवं वैज्ञानिक क्रम-विन्यास -
    देवनागरी के वर्णों का क्रमविन्यास उनके उच्चारण के स्थान (ओष्ठ्य, दन्त्य,
    तालव्य, मूर्धन्य आदि) को ध्यान में रखते हुए बनाया गया है। इसके अतिरिक्त
    वर्ण-क्रम के निर्धारण में भाषा-विज्ञान
    के कई अन्य पहलुओ का भी ध्यान रखा गया है। देवनागरी की वर्णमाला (वास्तव
    में, ब्राह्मी से उत्पन्न सभी लिपियों की वर्णमालाएँ) एक अत्यन्त तर्कपूर्ण
    ध्वन्यात्मक क्रम (phonetic order) में व्यवस्थित है। यह क्रम इतना
    तर्कपूर्ण है कि अन्तरराष्ट्रीय ध्वन्यात्मक संघ (IPA) ने अन्तर्राष्ट्रीय ध्वन्यात्मक वर्णमाला के निर्माण के लिये मामूली परिवर्तनों के साथ इसी क्रम को अंगीकार कर लिया।
  • वर्णों का प्रत्याहार रूप में उपयोग : माहेश्वर सूत्र
    में देवनागरी वर्णों को एक विशिष्ट क्रम में सजाया गया है। इसमें से किसी
    वर्ण से आरम्भ करके किसी दूसरे वर्ण तक के वर्णसमूह को दो अक्षर का एक छोटा
    नाम दे दिया जाता है जिसे ‘प्रत्याहार’ कहते हैं। प्रत्याहार का प्रयोग
    करते हुए सन्धि आदि के नियम अत्यन्त सरल और संक्षिप्त ढंग से दिए गये हैं (जैसे, आद् गुणः)
  • मात्राओं की संख्या के आधार पर छन्दों का वर्गीकरण :
    यह भारतीय लिपियों की अद्भुत विशेषता है कि किसी पद्य के लिखित रूप से
    मात्राओं और उनके क्रम को गिनकर बताया जा सकता है कि कौन सा छन्द है। रोमन,
    अरबी एवं अन्य में यह गुण अप्राप्य है।
  • लिपि चिह्नों के नाम और ध्वनि मे कोई अन्तर नहीं (जैसे रोमन में अक्षर का नाम “बी” है और ध्वनि “ब” है)
  • लेखन और मुद्रण मे एकरूपता (रोमन, अरबी और फ़ारसी मे हस्तलिखित और मुद्रित रूप अलग-अलग हैं)
  • देवनागरी, ‘स्माल लेटर” और ‘कैपिटल लेटर’ की अवैज्ञानिक व्यवस्था से मुक्त है।
  • मात्राओं का प्रयोग
क के उपर विभिन्न मात्राएं लगाने के बाद का स्वरूप
  • अर्ध-अक्षर के रूप की सुगमता : खड़ी पाई को हटाकर - दायें
    से बायें क्रम में लिखकर तथा अर्द्ध अक्षर को ऊपर तथा उसके नीचे पूर्ण
    अक्षर को लिखकर - ऊपर नीचे क्रम में संयुक्ताक्षर बनाने की दो प्रकार की
    रीति प्रचलित है।
  • अन्य - बायें से दायें, शिरोरेखा, संयुक्ताक्षरों का
    प्रयोग, अधिकांश वर्णों में एक उर्ध्व-रेखा की प्रधानता, अनेक ध्वनियों को
    निरूपित करने की क्षमता आदि।[14]
  • भारतवर्ष के साहित्य में कुछ ऐसे रूप विकसित हुए हैं जो दायें-से-बायें अथवा बाये-से-दायें पढ़ने पर समान रहते हैं। उदाहरणस्वरूप केशवदास का एक सवैया लीजिये :
मां सस मोह सजै बन बीन, नवीन बजै सह मोस समा।
मार लतानि बनावति सारि, रिसाति वनाबनि ताल रमा ॥
मानव ही रहि मोरद मोद, दमोदर मोहि रही वनमा।
माल बनी बल केसबदास, सदा बसकेल बनी बलमा ॥
इस सवैया की किसी भी पंक्ति को किसी ओर से भी पढिये, कोई अंतर नही पड़ेगा।
सदा सील तुम सरद के दरस हर तरह खास।
सखा हर तरह सरद के सर सम तुलसीदास॥

देवनागरी लिपि के दोष

देवनागरी लिपि की 10 कमियाँ !

1.ग, ण,और श में आकार लगे होने का भ्रम होता है !

2.वर्ण के प्रकार –

क, र ध्वनि-राजा,क्रम,कर्म,ट्रक,ऋण,कृपा

ख.द - दम,विद्या,छद्म,गद्दी

ग. क-कर,वक्त ,क्वाथ

घ .श-शाम,श्रम,श्याम

ङ.म-मन,म्यान,छद्म,ब्रह्म           

च.भ-भवन,अभ्युक्ति,उद्भव,     

3.संयुक्ताक्षर में आधे अक्षर बाएँ,दाएँ और नीचे लगते हैं-वह, व्यय, द्वार,जिह्वा!

4.शुद्ध
में द पूरा अक्षर लिखा है,लेकिन उच्चारण आधा होता है!ध आधा लिखा होता
है,लेकिन उच्चारण पूरा होता है !इसी तरह वृद्ध,श्रद्धा आदि!

5.शक्ति में क पर भी इकार लगता है!ऐसे ही निश्चित,बल्कि आदि!

6.द्विज का उच्चारण दु+वि+ज होता है!लिखने और पढ़ने दोनों में दुविधा होती है!

7.जो लिखा दिखता है वह उच्चारित नहीं होता है!और जो कहते हैं वह नहीं लिखा जाता है!

क.शुरू
में एकार लगा नहीं है लेकिन उच्चारित होता है! जैसे-क्या का उच्चारण के+या
होता है!इसी तरह-व्यय, प्यास,प्याज,ब्याज,व्यापार,व्यवस्था,व्यवहार,आदि!

ख.शुरू में ओकार नहीं लगा है,लेकिन उच्चारित होता है! जैसे-द्वार दो+वा+ र,द्वंद्व,ज्वर,त्वरित आदि!

8.शब्दों के उच्चारण के हिसाब से वर्णों का क्रम अस्पष्ट होता है!असमंजस की स्थिति रहती है!जैसे-क.वृद्ध उच्चारण वृ+द्+ध होता है!

ख.निर्देश
लिखे वर्ण का क्रम देखें तो नि+दे+र्+श उच्चारण के अनुसार ‘ दे ‘ के पहले ‘
र ‘ ध्वनि संकेत लिखा होना चाहिए ! लेकिन ऐसा नहीं है-दे के बाद र का
संकेत लगता है!

9.अनुनासिक
अनेक ध्वनि संकेतों के बदले सिर्फ अनुस्वार का प्रयोग होने के कारण ध्वनि
का गलत संकेत लिखा जा रहा है ! जैसे-अंत उच्चारित करें तो अ+न्+त=अन्त होता
है!इसी तरह कंपनी/कम्पनी,खंड/खन्ड/खण्ड आदि!

10.देवनागरी एक हजार साल पुरानी लिपि है!कम्प्यूटर से हिंदी टाइपिंग में लगभग140ध्वनि संकेतों की आवश्यकता होती है!

देवनागरी
लिपि से विकसित होडो़ सेंणा लिपि में उपर्युक्त सभी कमियों का समाधान
है!इस लिपि से मात्र 45 ध्वनि संकेत चिह्नों से शुद्ध वर्तनी लिखी जा सकती
है!सिर्फ हिंदी और मुंडा भाषाएँ ही नहीं,अनेक भारतीय भाषाएँ भी शुद्ध
वर्तनी के साथ लिखी जा सकती हैं !

लेकिन लगभग सभी भारतीय लिपियों में छोटी इ या छोटी ए (ऎ) की मात्रा व्यंजन के पहले ही लगती है।
  • (१) कुल मिलाकर 403 टाइप होने के कारण टंकण, मुद्रण में कठिनाई। किन्तु आधुनिक प्रिन्टर तकनीक के लिए यह कोई समस्या नहीं है।
  • (२) कुछ लोग शिरोरेखा का प्रयोग अनावश्यक मानते हैं।
  • (३) अनावश्यक वर्ण (ऋ, ॠ, लृ, ॡ, ष)— बहुत से लोग इनका शुद्ध उच्चारण नहीं कर पाते।
  • (४) द्विरूप वर्ण (अ, ज्ञ, क्ष, त्र, छ, झ, ण, श) आदि को दो-दो प्रकार से लिखा जाता है।
  • (५) समरूप वर्ण (ख में र+व का, घ में ध का, म में भ का भ्रम होना)।
  • (६) वर्णों के संयुक्त करने की व्यवस्था एकसमान नहीं है।
  • (८) त्वरापूर्ण लेखन नहीं क्योंकि लेखन में हाथ बार–बार उठाना पड़ता है।
  • (९) वर्णों के संयुक्तीकरण में र के प्रयोग को लेकर अनेक लोगों को भ्रम की स्थिति।
  • (११) इ की मात्रा (ि) का लेखन वर्ण के पहले, किन्तु उच्चारण वर्ण के बाद।

देवनागरी पर महापुरुषों के विचार

आचार्य विनोबा भावे
संसार की अनेक लिपियों के जानकार थे। उनकी स्पष्ट धारणा थी कि देवनागरी
लिपि भारत ही नहीं, संसार की सर्वाधिक वैज्ञानिक लिपि है। अगर भारत की सब
भाषाओं के लिए इसका व्यवहार चल पड़े तो सारे भारतीय एक दूसरे के बिल्कुल
नजदीक आ जाएंगे। हिंदुस्तान की एकता में देवनागरी लिपि हिंदी से ही अधिक
उपयोगी हो सकती है। अनन्त शयनम् अयंगार तो दक्षिण भारतीय भाषाओं के लिए भी देवनागरी की संभावना स्वीकार करते थे। सेठ गोविन्ददास इसे राष्ट्रीय लिपि घोषित करने के पक्ष में थे।

  • (१) हिन्दुस्तान की एकता के लिये हिन्दी भाषा जितना काम देगी, उससे बहुत अधिक काम देवनागरी लिपि दे सकती है।
— आचार्य विनोबा भावे
  • (२) देवनागरी किसी भी लिपि की तुलना में अधिक वैज्ञानिक एवं व्यवस्थित लिपि है।
— सर विलियम जोन्स
  • (३) मानव मस्तिष्क से निकली हुई वर्णमालाओं में नागरी सबसे अधिक पूर्ण वर्णमाला है।
— जान क्राइस्ट
  • (४) उर्दू लिखने के लिये देवनागरी लिपि अपनाने से उर्दू उत्कर्ष को प्राप्त होगी।
— खुशवन्त सिंह
  • (५) The Devanagri alphabet is a splendid monument of phonological accuracy, in the sciences of language.
— मोहन लाल विद्यार्थी - Indian Culture Through the Ages, p. 61
  • (६) एक सर्वमान्य लिपि स्वीकार करने से भारत की विभिन्न भाषाओं में
    जो ज्ञान का भंडार भरा है उसे प्राप्त करने का एक साधारण व्यक्ति को सहज
    ही अवसर प्राप्त होगा। हमारे लिए यदि कोई सर्व-मान्य लिपि स्वीकार करना
    संभव है तो वह देवनागरी है।
एम.सी.छागला
  • (७) प्राचीन भारत के महत्तम उपलब्धियों में से एक उसकी विलक्षण
    वर्णमाला है जिसमें प्रथम स्वर आते हैं और फिर व्यंजन जो सभी उत्पत्ति क्रम
    के अनुसार अत्यंत वैज्ञानिक ढंग से वर्गीकृत किये गए हैं। इस वर्णमाला का
    अविचारित रूप से वर्गीकृत तथा अपर्याप्त रोमन वर्णमाला से, जो तीन हजार वर्षों से क्रमशः विकसित हो रही थी, पर्याप्त अंतर है।

भारत के लिये देवनागरी का महत्व

Unbalanced scales.svg
इस लेख की निष्पक्षता विवादित है।
कृपया इसके वार्ता पृष्ठ पर चर्चा देखें।

बहुत से लोगों का विचार है कि भारत में अनेकों भाषाएँ होना कोई समस्या नहीं है जबकि उनकी लिपियाँ अलग-अलग होना बहुत बड़ी समस्या है। गांधीजी ने १९४० में गुजराती भाषा की एक पुस्तक को देवनागरी लिपि में छपवाया और इसका उद्देश्य बताया था कि मेरा सपना है कि संस्कृत से निकली हर भाषा की लिपि देवनागरी हो।[15]

इस संस्करण को हिंदी में छापने के दो उद्देश्य हैं। मुख्य
उद्देश्य यह है कि मैं जानना चाहता हूँ कि, गुजराती पढ़ने वालों को
देवनागरी लिपि में पढ़ना कितना अच्छा लगता है। मैं जब दक्षिण अफ्रीका में
था तब से मेरा स्वप्न है कि संस्कृत से निकली हर भाषा की एक लिपि हो, और वह
देवनागरी हो। पर यह अभी भी स्वप्न ही है। एक-लिपि के बारे में बातचीत तो
खूब होती हैं, लेकिन वही ‘बिल्ली के गले में घंटी कौन बांधे’ वाली बात है।
कौन पहल करे ! गुजराती कहेगा ‘हमारी लिपि तो बड़ी सुन्दर सलोनी आसान है,
इसे कैसे छोडूंगा?’ बीच में अभी एक नया पक्ष और निकल के आया है, वह ये, कुछ
लोग कहते हैं कि देवनागरी खुद ही अभी अधूरी है, कठिन है; मैं भी यह मानता
हूँ कि इसमें सुधार होना चाहिए। लेकिन अगर हम हर चीज़ के बिलकुल ठीक हो
जाने का इंतज़ार करते रहेंगे तो सब हाथ से जायेगा, न जग के रहोगे न जोगी
बनोगे। अब हमें यह नहीं करना चाहिए। इसी आजमाइश के लिए हमने यह देवनागरी
संस्करण निकाला है। अगर लोग यह (देवनागरी में गुजराती) पसंद करेंगे तो
‘नवजीवन पुस्तक’ और भाषाओं को भी देवनागरी में प्रकाशित करने का प्रयत्न
करेगा।
इस साहस के पीछे दूसरा उद्देश्य यह है कि हिंदी पढ़ने वाली जनता
गुजराती पुस्तक देवनागरी लिपि में पढ़ सके। मेरा अभिप्राय यह है कि अगर
देवनागरी लिपि में गुजराती किताब छपेगी तो भाषा को सीखने में आने वाली आधी
दिक्कतें तो ऐसे ही कम हो जाएँगी।
इस संस्करण को लोकप्रिय बनाने के लिए इसकी कीमत बहुत कम राखी
गयी है, मुझे उम्मीद है कि इस साहस को गुजराती और हिंदी पढ़ने वाले सफल
करेंगे।

इसी प्रकार विनोबा भावे का विचार था कि-

हिन्दुस्तान की एकता के लिये हिन्दी भाषा
जितना काम देगी, उससे बहुत अधिक काम देवनागरी लिपि देगी। इसलिए मैं चाहता
हूँ कि सभी भाषाएँ देवनागरी में भी लिखी जाएं। सभी लिपियां चलें लेकिन
साथ-साथ देवनागरी का भी प्रयोग किया जाये। विनोबा जी “नागरी ही” नहीं
“नागरी भी” चाहते थे। उन्हीं की सद्प्रेरणा से 1975 में नागरी लिपि परिषद की स्थापना हुई।

विश्वलिपि के रूप में देवनागरी

बौद्ध संस्कृति से प्रभावित क्षेत्र नागरी के लिए नया नहीं है। चीन और जापान चित्रलिपि
का व्यवहार करते हैं। इन चित्रों की संख्या बहुत अधिक होने के कारण भाषा
सीखने में बहुत कठिनाई होती है। देववाणी की वाहिका होने के नाते देवनागरी
भारत की सीमाओं से बाहर निकलकर चीन और जापान के लिए भी समुचित विकल्प दे
सकती है। भारतीय मूल के लोग संसार में जहां-जहां भी रहते हैं, वे देवनागरी
से परिचय रखते हैं, विशेषकर मारीशस, सूरीनाम, फिजी, गुयाना, त्रिनिदाद, टोबैगो
आदि के लोग। इस तरह देवनागरी लिपि न केवल भारत के अंदर सारे प्रांतवासियों
को प्रेम-बंधन में बांधकर सीमोल्लंघन कर दक्षिण-पूर्व एशिया के पुराने
वृहत्तर भारतीय परिवार को भी ‘बहुजन हिताय, बहुजन सुखाय‘ अनुप्राणित कर
सकती है तथा विभिन्न देशों को एक अधिक सुचारू और वैज्ञानिक विकल्प प्रदान
कर ‘विश्व नागरी‘ की पदवी का दावा इक्कीसवीं सदी में कर सकती है। उस पर
प्रसार लिपिगत साम्राज्यवाद और शोषण का माध्यम न होकर सत्य, अहिंसा, त्याग,
संयम जैसे उदात्त मानवमूल्यों का संवाहक होगा, असत्‌ से सत्‌, तमस्‌ से
ज्योति तथा मृत्यु से अमरता की दिशा में।

लिपि-विहीन भाषाओं के लिये देवनागरी

दुनिया की कई भाषाओं के लिये देवनागरी सबसे अच्छा विकल्प हो सकती है
क्योंकि यह यह बोलने की पूरी आजादी देता है। दुनिया की और किसी भी लिपि मे
यह नही हो सकता है। इन्डोनेशिया, विएतनाम, अफ्रीका आदि के लिये तो यही सबसे
सही रहेगा। अष्टाध्यायी को देखकर कोई भी समझ सकता है की दुनिया मे इससे
अच्छी कोई भी लिपि नहीं है। अग‍र दुनिया पक्षपातरहित हो तो देवनागरी ही
दुनिया की सर्वमान्य लिपि होगी क्योंकि यह पूर्णत: वैज्ञानिक है। अंग्रेजी भाषा में वर्तनी (स्पेलिंग) की विकराल समस्या के कारगर समाधान के लिये देवनागरी पर आधारित देवग्रीक लिपि प्रस्तावित की गयी है।

जिस प्रकार भारतीय अंकों
को उनकी वैज्ञानिकता के कारण विश्व ने सहर्ष स्वीकार कर लिया वैसे ही
देवनागरी भी अपनी वैज्ञानिकता के कारण ही एक दिन विश्वनागरी बनेगी।

देवनागरी लिपि में सुधार

देवनागरी का विकास उस युग में हुआ था जब लेखन हाथ से किया जाता था और लेखन के लिए शिलाएँ, ताड़पत्र, चर्मपत्र, भोजपत्र, ताम्रपत्र आदि का ही प्रयोग होता था। किन्तु लेखन प्रौद्योगिकी ने बहुत अधिक विकास किया और प्रिन्टिंग प्रेस, टाइपराइटर
आदि से होते हुए वह कम्प्यूटर युग में पहुँच गयी है जहाँ बोलकर भी लिखना
सम्भव हो गया है।
जब प्रिंटिंग एवं टाइपिंग का युग आया तो देवनागरी के यंत्रीकरण में कुछ
अतिरिक्त समस्याएँ सामने आयीं जो रोमन में नहीं थीं। उदाहरण के लिए रोमन
टाइपराइटर में अपेक्षाकृत कम कुंजियों की आवश्यकता पड़ती थी। देवनागरी में
संयुक्ताक्षर की अवधारणा होने से भी बहुत अधिक कुंजियों की आवश्यकता पड़
रही थी। ध्यातव्य है कि ये समस्याएँ केवल देवनागरी में नहीं थी बल्कि रोमन
और
सिरिलिक को छोड़कर लगभग सभी लिपियों में थी। चीनी और उस परिवार की अन्य
लिपियों में तो यह समस्या अपने गम्भीरतम रूप में थी।

इन सामयिक समस्याओं को ध्यान में रखते हुए अनेक विद्वानों और
मनीषियों ने देवनागरी के सरलीकरण और मानकीकरण पर विचार किया और अपने सुझाव
दिए। इनमें से अनेक सुझावों को क्रियान्वित नहीं किया जा सका या उन्हें
अस्वीकार कर दिया गया। कहने की आवश्यकता नहीं है कि कम्प्यूटर युग आने से
(या प्रिंटिंग की नई तकनीकी आने से) देवनागरी से सम्बन्धित सारी समस्याएँ
स्वयं समाप्त हों गयीं।

भारत के स्वाधीनता आंदोलनों में हिंदी को राष्ट्रभाषा का दर्जा प्राप्त होने के बाद लिपि के विकास व मानकीकरण हेतु कई व्यक्तिगत एवं संस्थागत प्रयास हुए। सर्वप्रथम बम्बई के महादेव गोविन्द रानडे ने एक लिपि सुधार समिति का गठन किया। तदन्तर महाराष्ट्र साहित्य परिषद पुणे ने सुधार योजना तैयार की। सन १९०४ में बाल गंगाधर तिलक ने अपने केसरी
पत्र में देवनागरी लिपि के सुधार की चर्चा की। प्रिणामस्वरूप देवनागरी के
टाइपों की संख्या १९० निर्धारित की गयी और इन्हें ‘केसरी टाइप’ कहा गया।[16]

आगे चलकर सावरकर बंधुओं ने ‘अ’ की बारहखड़ी प्रयिग करने का सुझाव दिया ( अर्थात ‘ई’ न लिखकर अ पर बड़ी ई की मात्रा लगायी जाय)। डॉ गोरख प्रसाद ने सुझाव दिया कि मात्राओं को व्यंजन के बाद दाहिने तरफ अलग से रखा जाय। डॉ. श्यामसुन्दर दास ने अनुस्वार
के प्रयोग को व्यापक बनाकर देवनागरी के सरलीकरण के प्रयास किये (पंचमाक्षर
के बदले अनुस्वार के प्रयोग )। इसी प्रकार श्रीनिवास का सुझाव था कि
महाप्राण वर्ण के लिए अल्पप्राण के नीचे ऽ चिह्न लगाया जाय। १९४५ में काशी नागरी प्रचारिणी सभा द्वारा अ की बारहखड़ी और श्रीनिवास के सुझाव को अस्वीकार करने का निर्णय लिया गया।[17]

देवनागरी के विकास में अनेक संस्थागत प्रयासों की भूमिका भी अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण रही है। १९३५ में हिंदी साहित्य सम्मेलन ने नागरी लिपि सुधार समिति[18] के माध्यम से ‘अ’ की बारहखड़ी और शिरोरेखा से संबंधित सुधार सुझाए। इसी प्रकार, १९४७ में आचार्य नरेन्द्र देव
की अध्यक्षता में गठित एक समिति ने बारहखड़ी, मात्रा व्यवस्था, अनुस्वार व
अनुनासिक से संबंधित महत्त्वपूर्ण सुझाव दिये। देवनागरी लिपि के विकास
हेतु भारत सरकार
के शिक्षा मंत्रालय ने कई स्तरों पर प्रयास किये हैं। सन् १९६६ में मानक
देवनागरी वर्णमाला प्रकाशित की गई और १९६७ में ‘हिंदी वर्तनी का मानकीकरण’
प्रकाशित किया गया। १९८३ में ‘देवनागरी लिपि तथा हिन्दी की वर्तनी का
मानकीकरण’ प्रकाशित किया गया।

देवनागरी से अन्य लिपियों में रूपान्तरण

  • ITRANS (iTrans) निरूपण, देवनागरी को लैटिन (रोमन) में परिवर्तित करने का आधुनिकतम और अक्षत (lossless) तरीका है। (Online Interface to iTrans)
  • आजकल अनेक कम्प्यूटर प्रोग्राम उपलब्ध हैं जिनकी सहायता से देवनागरी में लिखे पाठ को किसी भी भारतीय लिपि में बदला जा सकता है। [19]
  • कुछ ऐसे भी कम्प्यूटर प्रोग्राम हैं जिनकी सहायता से देवनागरी में
    लिखे पाठ को लैटिन, अरबी, चीनी, क्रिलिक, आईपीए (IPA) आदि में बदला जा सकता
    है। (ICU Transform Demo)
  • यूनिकोड
    के पदार्पण के बाद देवनागरी का रोमनीकरण (romanization) अब अनावश्यक होता
    जा रहा है, क्योंकि धीरे-धीरे कम्प्यूटर, स्मार्ट फोन तथा अन्य डिजिटल
    युक्तियों पर देवनागरी को (और अन्य लिपियों को भी) पूर्ण समर्थन मिलने लगा
    है।

    (Three divisions, printed in 5 books)

    Sutta Vibhaaga [two books containing rules for the bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, outlining eight classes of offences]

    Tipiμaka (three “baskets”)

    Sutta Piμaka
    (Five nik±yas, or collections)
    The Sutta Piṭaka contains the essence of the Buddha’s teaching
    regarding the Dhamma. It contains more than ten thousand suttas. It is
    divided in five collections called Nikāyas (A multitude, assemblage; a
    collection; a class, order, group; an association, fraternity,
    congregation; a house, dwelling).

    Dīgha Nikāya[dīgha: long] The
    Dīgha Nikāya gathers 34 of the longest discourses given by the Buddha.
    There are various hints that many of them are late additions to the
    original corpus and of questionable authenticity.

    Majjhima Nikāya
    [majjhima:
    medium] The Majjhima Nikāya gathers 152 discourses of the Buddha of
    intermediate length, dealing with diverse matters.

    Saṃyutta Nikāya
    [samyutta:
    group] The Saṃyutta Nikāya gathers the suttas according to their
    subject in 56 sub-groups called saṃyuttas. It contains more than three
    thousand discourses of variable length, but generally relatively short.

    Aṅguttara Nikāya
    [aṅg:
    factor | uttara: additionnal] The Aṅguttara Nikāya is subdivized in
    eleven sub-groups called nipātas, each of them gathering discourses
    consisting of enumerations of one additional factor versus those of the
    precedent nipāta. It contains thousands of suttas which are generally short.

    Khuddaka Nikāya
    [khuddha:
    short, small] The Khuddhaka Nikāya short texts and is considered as
    been composed of two stratas: Dhammapada, Udāna, Itivuttaka, Sutta
    Nipāta, Theragāthā-Therīgāthā and Jātaka form the ancient strata, while
    other books are late additions and their authenticity is more
    questionable.

    Poṭṭhapāda Sutta
    {excerpt}
    — The questions of Poṭṭhapāda — Poṭṭhapāda asks various questions reagrding the nature of Saññā. Note: plain texts

    Now,
    lord, does perception arise first, and knowledge after; or does
    knowledge arise first, and perception after; or do perception &
    knowledge arise simultaneously?

    Potthapada, perception arises
    first, and knowledge after. And the arising of knowledge comes from the
    arising of perception. One discerns, ‘It’s in dependence on this that my
    knowledgehas arisen.’ Through this line of reasoning one can realize
    how perception arises first, and knowledge after, and how the arising of
    knowledge comes from the arising of perception.DN 22 - (D ii 290)

    II. Observation of Vedanā

    Introduction

    Thus have I heard: 


    On
    one occasion, the Bhagavā was staying among the Kurus at
    Kammāsadhamma,a market town of the Kurus. There, he addressed the
    bhikkhus:

    – Bhikkhus.
    – Bhaddante answered the bhikkhus. The Bhagavā said: 


    This, bhikkhus, is the path that leads to nothing but the purification
    of beings, the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, the disappearance
    of dukkha-domanassa, the attainment of the right way, the realization of
    Nibbāna, that is to say the four satipaṭṭhānas.

    Which four?
    Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya, ātāpī
    sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world
    He dwells observing vedanā in vedanā, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having
    given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world. He dwells observing citta
    in citta, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa
    towards the world. He dwells observing dhamma·s in dhamma·s, ātāpī
    sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

    I. Kāyānupassanā
    A. Section on ānāpāna
    And
    how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu dwell observing kāya in kāya? Here,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, having gone to the forest or having gone at the
    root of a tree or having gone to an empty room, sits down folding the
    legs crosswise, setting kāya upright, and setting sati parimukhaṃ. Being
    thus sato he breathes in, being thus sato he breathes out. Breathing in
    long he understands: ‘I am breathing in long’; breathing out long he
    understands: ‘I am breathing out long’; breathing in short he
    understands: ‘I am breathing in short’; breathing out short he
    understands: ‘I am breathing out short’; he trains himself: ‘feeling the
    whole kāya, I will breathe in’; he trains himself: ‘feeling the whole
    kāya, I will breathe out’; he trains himself: ‘calming down the
    kāya-saṅkhāras, I will breathe in’; he trains himself: ‘calming down the
    kāya-saṅkhāras, I will breathe out’.

    Just as, bhikkhus, a
    skillful turner or a turner’s apprentice, making a long turn,
    understands: ‘I am making a long turn’; making a short turn, he
    understands: ‘I am making a short turn’; in the same way, bhikkhus, a
    bhikkhu, breathing in long, understands: ‘I am breathing in long’;
    breathing out long he understands: ‘I am breathing out long’; breathing
    in short he understands: ‘I am breathing in short’; breathing out short
    he understands: ‘I am breathing out short’; he trains himself: ‘feeling
    the whole kāya, I will breathe in’; he trains himself: ‘feeling the
    whole kāya, I will breathe out’; he trains himself: ‘calming down the
    kāya-saṅkhāras, I will breathe in’; he trains himself: ‘calming down the
    kāya-saṅkhāras, I will breathe out’.

    Thus he dwells observing
    kāya in kāya internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally,
    or he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally and externally; he
    dwells observing the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells
    observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing
    the samudaya and passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else,
    [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent
    of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling
    to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing
    kāya in kāya. 


    B. Section on postures

    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, while walking, understands: ‘I am walking’, or
    while standing he understands: ‘I am standing’, or while sitting he
    understands: ‘I am sitting’, or while lying down he understands: ‘I am
    lying down’. Or else, in whichever position his kāya is disposed, he
    understands it accordingly. 


    Thus he dwells observing kāya in
    kāya internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally, or he
    dwells observing kāya in kāya internally and externally; he dwells
    observing the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the
    passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya
    and passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else, [realizing:] “this is
    kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere
    paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the
    world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya. 
Thus he
    dwells observing kāya in kāya internally, or he dwells observing kāya
    in kāya externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally and
    externally; he dwells observing the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he
    dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells
    observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else,
    [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent
    of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling
    to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing
    kāya in kāya. 


    C. Section on sampajañña

    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, while approaching and while departing, acts with
    sampajañña, while looking ahead and while looking around, he acts with
    sampajañña, while bending and while stretching, he acts with sampajañña,
    while wearing the robes and the upper robe and while carrying the bowl,
    he acts with sampajañña, while eating, while drinking, while chewing,
    while tasting, he acts with sampajañña, while attending to the business
    of defecating and urinating, he acts with sampajañña, while walking,
    while standing, while sitting, while sleeping, while being awake, while
    talking and while being silent, he acts with sampajañña. 


    Thus
    he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally, or he dwells observing
    kāya in kāya externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally
    and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya o phenomena in kāya, or
    he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena\ in kāya, or he
    dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena in kāya; or
    else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the
    extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not
    cling to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells
    observing kāya in kāya. 


    D. Section on Repulsiveness

    Furthermore,bhikkhus,
    a bhikkhu considers this very body, from the soles of the feet up and
    from the hair on the head down, which is delimited by its skin and full
    of various kinds of impurities: “In this kāya, there are the hairs of
    the head, hairs of the body, nails, teeth, skin, flesh, tendons, bones,
    bone marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura, spleen, lungs, intestines,
    mesentery, stomach with its contents, feces, bile, phlegm, pus, blood,
    sweat, fat, tears, grease, saliva, nasal mucus, synovial fluid and
    urine.” 


    Just as if, bhikkhus, there was a bag having two
    openings and filled with various kinds of grain, such as hill-paddy,
    paddy, mung beans, cow-peas, sesame seeds and husked rice. A man with
    good eyesight, having unfastened it, would consider [its contents]:
    “This is hill-paddy, this is paddy, those are mung beans, those are
    cow-peas, those are sesame seeds and this is husked rice;” in the same
    way, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu considers this very body, from the soles of the
    feet up and from the hair on the head down, which is delimited by its
    skin and full of various kinds of impurities: “In this kāya, there are
    the hairs of the head, hairs of the body, nails, teeth, skin, flesh,
    tendons, bones, bone marrow, kidneys, heart, liver, pleura, spleen,
    lungs, intestines, mesentery, stomach with its contents, feces, bile,
    phlegm, pus, blood, sweat, fat, tears, grease,
    saliva, nasal mucus, synovial fluid and urine.”

    Thus
    he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally, or he dwells observing
    kāya in kāya externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally
    and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya of phenomena in kāya,
    or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he
    dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena in kāya; or
    else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the
    extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not
    cling to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells
    observing kāya in kāya. 


    E. Section on the Elements

    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on this very kāya, however it is placed,
    however it is disposed: “In this kāya, there is the earth element, the
    water element, the fire element and the air element.” 


    Just as,
    bhikkhus, a skillful butcher or a butcher’s apprentice, having killed a
    cow, would sit at a crossroads cutting it into pieces; in the same way,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu reflects on this very kāya, however it is placed,
    however it is disposed: “In this kāya, there is the earth element, the
    water element, the fire element and the air element.”

    Thus he
    dwells observing kāya in kāya internally, or he dwells observing kāya in
    kāya externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally and
    externally; he dwells observing the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he
    dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells
    observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else,
    [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent
    of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling
    to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing
    kāya in kāya.

    F. Section on the nine charnel grounds
    (1)
    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body, cast away in
    a charnel ground, one day dead, or two days dead or three days dead,
    swollen, bluish and festering, he considers this very kāya: “This kāya
    also is of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not
    free from such a condition.” 


    Thus he dwells observing kāya in
    kāya internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally, or he
    dwells observing kāya in kāya internally and externally; he dwells
    observing the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the
    passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya
    and passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else, [realizing:] “this is
    kāya!”\ sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere
    paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the
    world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya.

    (2)
    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body, cast away in
    a charnel ground, being eaten by crows, being eaten by hawks, being
    eaten by vultures, being eaten by herons, being eaten by dogs, being
    eaten by tigers, being eaten by panthers, being eaten by various kinds
    of beings, he considers this very kāya: “This kāya also is of such a
    nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a
    condition.

    Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally, or
    he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally, or he dwells observing kāya
    in kāya internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya of
    phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena
    in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of
    phenomena in kāya; or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present
    in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells
    detached, and does not cling to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a
    bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya.

    (3)
    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body, cast away in a
    charnel ground, a squeleton with flesh and blood, held together by
    tendons, he considers this very kāya: “This kāya also is of such a
    nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a
    condition.”

    
Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya
    internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally, or he dwells
    observing kāya in kāya internally and externally; he dwells observing
    the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the passing
    away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and
    passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!”
    sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere
    paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the
    world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya.

    (4)
    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body, cast away in
    acharnel ground, a squeleton without flesh and smeared with blood,
    heldtogether by tendons, he considers this very kāya: “This kāya also is
    of such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from
    such a condition.” 


    Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya
    internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally, or he dwells
    observing kāya in kāya internally and externally; he dwells observing
    the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the passing
    away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and
    passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!”
    sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere
    paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the
    world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya.

    (5)
    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body, cast away in
    a charnel ground, a squeleton without flesh nor blood, held together by
    tendons, he considers this very kāya: “This kāya also is of such a
    nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from such a
    condition.” 


    Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally,
    or he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally, or he dwells observing
    kāya in kāya internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya
    of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the passing away of
    phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away
    of phenomena in kāya; or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is
    present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he
    dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the world. Thus,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya. 


    (6)
    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body, cast away in
    a charnel ground, disconnected bones scattered here and there, here a
    hand bone, there a foot bone, here an ankle bone, there a shin bone,
    here a thigh bone, there a hip bone, here a rib, there a back bone, here
    a spine bone, there a neck bone, here a jaw bone, there a tooth bone,
    or there the skull, he considers this very kāya: “This kāya also is of
    such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from
    such a condition.” 


    Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya
    internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally, or he dwells
    observing kāya in kāya internally and externally; he dwells observing
    the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the passing
    away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya and
    passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else, [realizing:] “this is kāya!”
    sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere
    paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the
    world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya.

    (7)
    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body, cast away in
    a charnel ground, the bones whitened like a seashell, he considers this
    very kāya: “This kāya also is of such a nature, it is going to become
    like this, and is not free from such a condition.” 


    (8)
    Furthermore,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if he was seeing a dead body, cast away in
    a charnel ground, heaped up bones over a year old, he considers this
    very kāya: “This kāya also is of such a nature, it is going to become
    like this, and is not free from such a condition.” 


    Thus he
    dwells observing kāya in kāya internally, or he dwells observing kāya in
    kāya externally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya internally and
    externally; he dwells observing the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he
    dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells
    observing the samudaya and passing away of phenomena in kāya; or else,
    [realizing:] “this is kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent
    of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling
    to anything in the world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing
    kāya in kāya.

    (9)
    Furthermore, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu, just as if
    he was seeing a dead body, cast away in a charnel ground, rotten bones
    reduced to powder, he considers this very kāya: “This kāya also is of
    such a nature, it is going to become like this, and is not free from
    such a condition.” 


    Thus he dwells observing kāya in kāya
    internally, or he dwells observing kāya in kāya externally, or he dwells
    observing kāya in kāya internally and externally; he dwells observing
    the samudaya of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the
    passingaway of phenomena in kāya, or he dwells observing the samudaya
    andpassing away of phenomena in kāya; or else, [realizing:] “this is
    kāya!” sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere
    paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the
    world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya.

    II. Observation of Vedanā

    Introduction

    Which
    four? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya in kāya, ātāpī

    towards the world. He dwells observing dhamma·s in dhamma·s, ātāpī
    sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.

    he dwells observing vedanā in vedanā internally, or he dwells observing
    vedanā in vedanā externally, or he dwells observing vedanā in vedanā
    internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya of phenomena
    in vedanā, or he dwells observing the passing away of phenomena in
    vedanā, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing away of
    phenomena in vedanā; or else, [realizing:] “this is vedanā!” sati is
    present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere paṭissati, he
    dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the world. Thus,
    bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing vedanā in vedanā.

    (The Mirror of the Dhamma)

    I
    will expound the discourse on the Dhamma which is called Dhammādāsa,
    possessed of which the ariyasāvaka, if he so desires, can declare of
    himself: ‘For me, there is no more niraya, no more tiracchāna-yoni, no
    more pettivisaya, no more state of unhappiness, of misfortune, of
    misery, I am a sotāpanna, by nature free from states of misery, certain
    of being destined to sambodhi.

    And what, Ānanda, is that
    discourse on the Dhamma which is called Dhammādāsa, possessed of which
    the ariyasāvaka, if he so desires, can declare of himself: ‘For me,
    there is no more niraya, no more tiracchāna-yoni, no more pettivisaya,
    no more state of unhappiness, of misfortune, of misery, I am a
    sotāpanna, by nature free from states of misery, certain of being
    destined to sambodhi?

    Here, Ānanda, an ariyasāvaka is endowed with Buddhe aveccappasāda:

    four ariya·saccas?

    E1. Exposition of Dukkhasacca

    And what,
    bhikkhus, is the dukkha ariyasacca? Jāti is dukkha, aging is dukkha
    (sickness is dukkha) maraṇa is dukkha, sorrow, lamentation, dukkha,
    domanassa and distress is dukkha, association with what is disliked is
    dukkha, dissociation from what is liked is dukkha, not to get what one
    wants is dukkha; in short, the five upādāna·k·khandhas are dukkha.

    And
    what, bhikkhus, is jāti? For the various beings in the various classes
    of beings, jāti, the birth, the descent [into the womb], the arising [in
    the world], the appearance, the apparition of the khandhas, the
    acquisition of the āyatanas. This, bhikkhus, is called jāti.

    And
    what, bhikkhus, is jarā? For the various beings in the various classes
    of beings, jarā, the state of being decayed, of having broken [teeth],
    of having grey hair, of being wrinkled, the decline of vitality, the
    decay of the indriyas: this, bhikkhus, is called jarā.

    And what,
    bhikkhus, is maraṇa? For the various beings in the various classes of
    beings, the decease, the state of shifting [out of existence], the break
    up, the disappearance, the death, maraṇa, the passing away, the break
    up of the khandhas, the laying down of the corpse: this, bhikkhus, is
    called maraṇa.

    And what, bhikkhus, is sorrow? In one, bhikkhus,
    associated with various kinds of misfortune, touched by various kinds of
    dukkha dhammas, the sorrrow, the mourning, the state of grief, the
    inner sorrow, the inner great sorrow: this, bhikkhus, is called sorrow.

    And
    what, bhikkhus, is lamentation? In one, bhikkhus, associated with
    various kinds of misfortune, touched by various kinds of dukkha dhammas,
    the cries, the lamentations, the weeping, the wailing, the state of
    crying, the state of lamentating: this, bhikkhus, is called lamentation.

    being in trouble, the state of being in despair: this, bhikkhus, is
    called despair.

    And what, bhikkhus, is the dukkha of being
    associated with what is disagreeable? Here, as to the forms, sounds,
    tastes, odors, bodily phenomena and mental phenomena there are which are
    unpleasing, not enjoyable, unpleasant, or else those who desire one’s
    disadvantage, those who desire one’s loss, those who desire one’s
    discomfort, those who desire one’s non-liberation from attachment,
    meeting, being associated, being together, encountering them: this,
    bhikkhus, is called the dukkha of being associated with what is
    disagreeable.

    And what, bhikkhus, is the dukkha of being
    dissociated from what is agreeable? Here, as to the forms, sounds,

    not being associated, not being together, not encountering them: this,
    bhikkhus, is called the dukkha of being dissociated from what is
    agreeable.

    And what, bhikkhus, is the dukkha of not getting what
    one wants? In beings, bhikkhus, having the characteristic of being born,
    such a wish arises: “oh really, may there not be jāti for us, and
    really, may we not come to jāti.” But this is not to be achieved by
    wishing. This is the dukkha of not getting what one wants.

    In
    beings, bhikkhus, having the characteristic of getting old, such a wish
    arises: “oh really, may there not be jarā for us, and really, may we not

    In beings, bhikkhus, having
    the characteristic of getting sick, such a wish arises: “oh really, may
    there not be sickness for us, and really, may we not come to sickness.”
    But this is not to be achieved by wishing. This is the dukkha of not
    getting what one wants.

    In beings, bhikkhus, having the
    characteristic of getting old, such a wish arises: “oh really, may there
    not be maraṇa for us, and really, may we not come to maraṇa.” But this
    is not to be achieved by wishing. This is the dukkha of not getting what
    one wants.

    In beings, bhikkhus, having the characteristic of
    sorrow, lamentation, dukkha, domanassa and distress, such a wish arises:
    “oh really, may there not be sorrow, lamentation, dukkha, domanassa and
    distress for us, and really, may we not come to sorrow, lamentation,
    dukkha, domanassa and distress.” But this is not to be achieved by
    wishing. This is the dukkha of not getting what one wants.

    And
    what, bhikkhus, are in short the five upādānakkhandhas? They are: the
    rūpa upādānakkhandha, the vedanā upādānakkhandha, the saññā
    upādānakkhandha, the saṅkhāra upādānakkhandha, the viññāṇa
    upādānakkhandha. These are called in short, bhikkhus, the five
    upādānakkhandhas.

    This is called, bhikkhus, the dukkha ariyasacca

    E2. Exposition of Samudayasacca

    And
    what, bhikkhus, is the dukkha-samudaya ariyasacca? It is this taṇhā
    leading to rebirth, connected with desire and enjoyment, finding delight
    here or there, that is to say: kāma-taṇhā, bhava-taṇhā and
    vibhava-taṇhā. But this taṇhā, bhikkhus, when arising, where does it
    arise, and when settling [itself], where does it settle? In that in the
    world which seems pleasant and agreeable, that is where taṇhā, when
    arising, arises, where when settling, it settles.

    And what in the
    world is pleasant and agreeable? The eye in the world is pleasant and

    bhikkhus, is sammāvāyāma? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu generates his chanda
    for the non-arising of unarisen pāpaka and akusala dhammas, he exerts
    himself, rouses his viriya, applies vigorously his citta and strives; he
    generates his chanda for the forsaking of arisen pāpaka and akusala
    dhammas, he exerts himself, rouses his viriya, applies vigorously his
    citta and strives; he generates his chanda for the arising of unarisen
    kusala dhammas, he exerts himself, rouses his viriya, applies vigorously
    his citta and strives; he generates his chanda for the steadfastness of
    arisen kusala dhammas, for their absence of confusion, for their
    increase, their development, their cultivation and their completion, he
    exerts himself, rouses his viriya, applies vigorously his citta and
    strives. This is called, bhikkhus, sammāvāyāma.

    An what,
    bhikkhus, is sammāsati? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing kāya
    in kāya, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa
    towards the world. He dwells observing vedanā in vedanā, ātāpī
    sampajāno, satimā, having given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world.
    He dwells observing citta in citta, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having
    given up abhijjhā-domanassa towards the world. He dwells observing
    dhamma·s in dhamma·s, ātāpī sampajāno, satimā, having given up

    bhikkhu, detached from kāma, detached from akusala dhammas, having
    entered in the first jhāna, abides therein, with vitakka and vicāra,
    with pīti and sukha born of detachment. With the stilling of
    vitakka-vicāra, having entered in the second jhāna, he abides therein
    with inner tanquilization, unification of citta, without vitakka nor
    vicāra, with pīti and sukha born of samādhi. And with indifference
    towards pīti, he abides in upekkha, sato and sampajāno, he experiences
    in kāya the sukha which the ariyas describe: ‘one who is equanimous and
    mindful dwells in [this] sukha’, having entered in the third jhāna, he
    abides therein. Abandoning sukha and abandoning dukkha, somanassa and
    domanassa having previously disappeared, without sukha nor dukkha, with
    the purity of upekkha and sati, having entered in the fourth jhāna, he
    abides therein. This is called, bhikkhus, sammāsamādhi.

    This is called, bhikkhus, the dukkha·nirodha·gāminī paṭipadā ariyasacca.

    Thus
    he dwells observing dhammas in dhammas internally, or he dwells
    observing dhammas in dhammas externally, or he dwells observing dhammas
    in dhammas internally and externally; he dwells observing the samudaya
    of phenomena in dhammas, or he dwells observing the passing away of
    phenomena in dhammas, or he dwells observing the samudaya and passing
    away of phenomena in dhammas; or else, [realizing:] “these are dhammas!”
    sati is present in him, just to the extent of mere ñāṇa and mere
    paṭissati, he dwells detached, and does not cling to anything in the
    world. Thus, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu dwells observing dhammas in dhammas,
    with reference to the four ariya·saccas.

    dukkha-domanassa, the attainment of the right way, the realization of
    Nibbāna, that is to say the four satipaṭṭhānas.” Thus has it been said,
    and on the basis of all this has it been said.

    Thus spoke the Bhagavā. Delighted, the bhikkhus welcomed the words of the Bhagavā.



    COVID-19 conspiracy claims, but virus origins still a mystery.

    There were still no conclusive answers as to where the disease started.

    SARS-CoV-2,
    now responsible for more than 200,000 deaths worldwide, was synthesised
    by the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), based in the city where the
    disease was first identified.
