Leela recollected the trepidation with which she and her ilk went through their respective debuts with giants and acclaimed gurus conducting the recital. This arangetram for a change, exemplified what this occasion should be - with friends, well-wishers, old school and college teachers of the dancer - exuding a sense of fulfillment for the student, her family and the teacher who had passed on what she had had been given by her acharya to a deserving student. Arangetram, when dance has become business, seems to have lost sight of the fact that it marks a testing of the waters - the starting point of a long journey for the one who wants to take to it. Addressing the audience after the customary post performance courtesies to all the musicians and other contributors, Leela pertinently pointed out the significance of this function. Aditi JaitleyвЂ™s teacher, Leela Samson, the chief guest for the occasion, set the tone with her dignity and elegant simplicity. Striking a note of complete contrast was the warmly intimate atmosphere at the India International Centre, its lobby and auditorium packed with friends, family and well wishers for the arangetram of Tara Rajgopal, a student of Aditi Jaitly Jadeja. The more wealthy the guardians of the young dancer, the more opulent every aspect of the event - from invitations to costumes, to the invitees from high society, with the performerвЂ™s legitimacy shown by the presence of politicians. Arangetram (which comes from Arangu +etram - literally meaning to rise to the performance space), the debut of the Bharatanatyam dancer when she steps on to the stage for a maiden solo performance, has over the years been made to resemble an extravagant coming of age of a society debutante. But since each Kriti is addressed to one god or goddess, only the Singular is discussed here.Classical artistes love to intone away the sacredness of a tradition, while subjecting many of its manifestations, over the years to the worst type of commercialisation. All nouns have Plural as well as Dual ( a special number in Sanskrit for two units only) forms and these also have Vibhaktis. PS: These are examples of Vibhaktis for the Singular form only. вЂњ Practice devotion unto RamachandraвЂќ)Д®ighth Vibhakti вЂ“вЂњ Hey RamachandraвЂќ вЂ“ O Ramachandra! Seventh Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњRamachandrEвЂќ вЂ“ In Ramachandra or Unto Ramachandra (eg.

Third Vibhakti - вЂњRamachandrENaвЂќ вЂ“ By Ramachandra or With Ramachandra (eg. Second Vibhakti - вЂњRamachandramвЂќвЂ“ Ramachandra is the object (eg. For example if we take the noun вЂњRamachandraвЂќ, the eight forms would be:ДЇirst Vibhakti - вЂњRamachandrahвЂќвЂ“ Ramachandra is the subject (eg. This means that the God or Goddess of the Kriti could be referred to in any of these eight variations. Muthuswamy Dikshitar has composed Kritis in all eight Vibhaktis. Eighth Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњSambodhana PrathamaвЂќ вЂ“ is to address or call out that noun.Seventh Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњsaptamIвЂќ вЂ“ means in, on, at, or unto that noun.Sixth Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњShaShThIвЂќ вЂ“ means of that noun.Fifth Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњpancamIвЂќ вЂ“ means from or than or since that noun.Fourth Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњcaturthIвЂќ вЂ“ means to or for that noun.Third Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњtRtIyAвЂќ вЂ“ means by or with that noun.Second Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњdvitIyAвЂќ - means that the particular noun is the Object of the sentence.First Vibhakti вЂ“ вЂњprathamAвЂќ - means that the particular noun is the Subject of the sentence.So we commonly say there are seven Vibhkatis. There are eight Vibhaktis in Sanskrit, of which the eighth is only a sub-category of the first one. In English, prepositions such as by, for, from, in etc., serve the same need. These are called вЂњcasesвЂќ or вЂњcase endingsвЂќ in languages like Latin and вЂњVEttrumaiвЂќ (а®µаЇ‡а®±аЇЌа®±аЇЃа®®аЇ€) or вЂњVEttrumai urubugalвЂќ (а®µаЇ‡а®±аЇЌа®±аЇЃа®®аЇ€ а®‰а®°аЇЃа®ЄаЇЃа®•а®іаЇЌ) in Tamil.Д®nglish does not have the concept of вЂњcase endingsвЂќ as it a non-inflectional language. The grammatical term Vibhakti means вЂњvariationsвЂќ and refers to the various forms that a noun can take.
