English to Sanskrit - Please :0)

Post by bellyangel »

Hello There!

Hope all is well! Would you be so kind to translate the following into sanskrit:

"What goes around, comes around"

It is for my own personal use. I'd appreciate any help that you can give me. Thanks so much for your continued help, you all are great!

Thanks so much! :jap:

salutations,

the expression "what goes around, comes around" has to do with karma, and is saying that when someone does bad things, bad things happen to this person, like karma: if there is a cause, there is an effect, like the laws of physics state, for every action there is an equal reaction.

so we think a good contextual Sanskrit translation for this expression could be:

पुराकर्याणि न नश्यन्ति - puraakaryaaNi na nashyanti - past actions cannot be erased.

Thank you so much!

Just out of curiosity, and because I don't know much about these languages, I was curious to know why Sanskrit & what looks like Tibetan Sanskrit or script, look so similar yet they have a distinct difference in just their physical look. It's kind of hard for me to explain, but, I thought I'd ask you since you are knowledgable about this and have been kind enough to help me with translations. :king:

Would you be so kind as to translate the below quote into Tibetan Sanskrit or script (my apologies, I'm sure I'm not using the proper term) so that I may compare it to the one you gave me below?

Thanks again for taking the time to communicate with me :jap:

salutations,

first of all, you're welcome. we are always glad to help.
well, we could help you with Sanskrit, but, unfortunately, we can't help you with Tibetan... we don't know this language.
Tibetan alphabet and Sanskrit alphabet are, indeed, similar. that's because the Tibetan alphabet is based on the Sanskrit alphabet (called Devanaagarii, with means "the alphabet of the city of God.".).
having all this said, we thought you might like to take a look on this page: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/tibetan.htm
we hope it helps. any other doubt or comment, you can always ask.

salutations,
