संस्कृतेन अनुवादं कुर्यात् - “उस गुरु से विद्या पढ़ता है ।”

Question

Accepted Answer

Option 2, "तस्मात् गुरो: विद्याम् पठति ।", is the correct translation of the sentence "उस गुरु से विद्या पढ़ता है ।" into Sanskrit. Let's break down why this option is correct and why the others are not:

1. **Explanation for Option 2:**
   - "तस्मात्" is a Sanskrit word that means "from that" or "from him," which corresponds to "उस" in Hindi, indicating the source or origin.
   - "गुरो:" is the genitive singular form of "गुरु," meaning "of the guru" or "from the guru," which aligns with "गुरु से" in Hindi.
   - "विद्याम् पठति" means "studies knowledge" or "reads knowledge," which directly translates to "विद्या पढ़ता है" in Hindi.
   - Therefore, Option 2 accurately captures the meaning of the original Hindi sentence by correctly using the genitive case to indicate the source from which knowledge is being acquired.

2. **Why the other options are incorrect:**

- **Option 1: "तेन गुरुणा विद्याम् पठति ।"**
     - "तेन" means "by him" or "with him," which does not correctly translate "उस" in the context of "from that guru."
     - "गुरुणा" is the instrumental case, meaning "by the guru," which implies the guru is the means or instrument, not the source, which is incorrect for this sentence.

- **Option 3: "तस्य गुरो: विद्याम् पठति ।"**
     - "तस्य" means "his" or "of him," which implies possession rather than the source, making it incorrect for translating "उस गुरु से."
     - This option suggests possession rather than the source from which knowledge is being learned.

- **Option 4: "तस्मिन् गुरौ विद्याम् पठ ।"**
     - "तस्मिन्" means "in that," which implies location rather than source, making it incorrect for "उस गुरु से."
     - "गुरौ" is the locative case, meaning "in the guru," which does not convey the intended meaning of learning from the guru.

In conclusion, Option 2 is the correct translation because it accurately uses the genitive case to indicate the source of learning, aligning perfectly with the meaning of the original Hindi sentence.
