उपकार m.

Answer 2

उपकारं न पश्यामि तव प्रत्युपकारिणः ==
“I DO NOT SEE ANY WAY IN WHICH I CAN REPLAY YOU FOR THE SERVICE YOU HAVE DONE ME “
- WITH THE WORD उपकार m. BEING USED HERE A BIT LIKE gratia IN LATIN TO SUGGEST (1) A GOOD DEED, (2) THE OBLIGATION CREATED IN THE RECIPIENT BY THAT GOOD DEED, (3) THE WHOLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BENEFACTOR AND BENEFICIARY

\

Question 3

SUNDARA KĀṆḌAM
05.60 Anuṣṭubh (Śloka)
प्रत्युपकारिन् adj.

Answer 3

उपकारं न पश्यामि तव प्रत्युपकारिणः ==
I DO NOT SEE ANY WAY IN WHICH I CAN REPLAY YOU FOR THE SERVICE YOU HAVE DONE ME
\
प्रत्युपकारिन् adj. requiting a favour, grateful
BUT HERE IT MEANS RATHER THE REVERSE, SINCE IT IS USED OF HANUMAN, WHO WAS FIRST TO DO A FAVOR, SO THE MEANING IS RATHER ‘initiating a relationship of ‘grace’’, ‘being the first to do a favor (like Thucydides had the Athenians say of themselves’
THIS MEANS उपकारं HERE MEANS ‘requital’, ‘return favor’, ‘reward’. THIS SEEMS WEIRD UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORD उपकार m. IS BEING USED HERE A BIT LIKE gratia IN LATIN TO SUGGEST (1) A GOOD DEED, (2) THE OBLIGATION CREATED IN THE RECIPIENT BY THAT GOOD DEED, (3) THE WHOLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BENEFACTOR AND BENEFICIARY
\
FROM pratyupakāraḥ प्रत्युपकारः 1 Returning a service or kindness, requital of an obligation, service in return. -2 Mutual assistance.
