A. Hiranyavakshah
B. Avatah
C. Pawakah
D. Samvartah
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
The question asks us to identify two synonyms for the word 'Megha'. 'Megha' is a commonly used word, particularly in Hindi and Sanskrit, that means cloud.
The term Hiranyavakshah relates to golden objects or wealth and is not associated with the meaning of a cloud. Therefore, it is not a synonym for 'Megha'.
The word Avatah is primarily associated with 'wind' or 'air'. However, in certain literary and contextual usages within Sanskrit and related languages, terms related to the atmosphere and the movement of air are sometimes used poetically or metonymically to refer to clouds or the sky where clouds reside. Thus, it can be considered a synonym in specific contexts.
The word Pawakah translates to 'fire' or refers to the fire deity Agni. This term is unrelated to clouds and hence cannot be a synonym for 'Megha'.
The term Samvartah (often spelled Samvartaka) is specifically used to describe a type of cloud, especially a rain-bearing cloud or one associated with cosmic cycles. This makes it a direct and appropriate synonym for 'Megha'.
Based on the meanings and contextual associations:
The options A (Hiranyavakshah) and C (Pawakah) are incorrect because their meanings (related to wealth and fire, respectively) do not align with the meaning of a cloud.
The correct choice includes the synonyms 'Avatah' and 'Samvartah', which correspond to options B and D respectively. This aligns with the understanding that 'Megha' means cloud.
