Question 6

BĀLA KĀṆḌAM
06.03 Ratthoddhatā
दारुदृषदोः किमन्तरम्

Answer 6

THE POINT HERE IS THAT THE BOATMAN IS SAYING THAT IT WOULD BE AMAZING IF RAMA, LIKE A COMMON MAGICIAN, COULD CHANGE A STONE INTO WOOD OR VICE VERSA (WATER INTO WINE, ETC.) SINCE THESE THINGS ARE INANIMATE MATERIALS. BUT, AS THE BOATMAN NOW GOES ON TO SAY, RAMA IS KNOWN TO CHANGE STONES INTO HUMAN BEINGS WITH THE DUST OF HIS FEET…

दारुदृषदोः किमन्तरम् == ‘What is the difference between a stone (दृषद् f.) and wooden things (दारु n.)?’
MAYBE AN IDIOM? OR MAYBE THE BOATMAN’S POINT IS JUST THAT THE DUST FROM RAMA’S FEET ARE SAID TO BE ABLE TO TURN “WHATEVER” INTO A HUMAN BEING AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH AHALYA IN THE PREVIOUS SARGA.
