AUMMAUUMA is an unknown character at this point AUMMAUUMA is an unknown character at this point
Default Compassion

I have a motto of sorts ready to write on my body to remind me what I'm here for, in this life. I have the first word on one wrist, but I'm unsure if I spelled the others correctly. The entire thing is:

Awaken Compassion
Feel Spirit
Know Abundance
Remember Love.

I spent two or three months poring over various texts trying to get exactly the right meanings for those words (since there are so many), to get the feel of what I'm trying to say. I ended up going with bhUtadayA for Compassion, anusa for Feel, prAcurya for Spirit, Anuvid or Acit for Know, posAditi for Abundance, anv'Adhi for Remember, and bhUtAnukampa for Love. I studied a book on the construction of Sanskrit for two months, and I think I have most of these written correctly, but before I have the tattoo done, I wanted to be sure about bhUtadayA.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, so I can compare what I get from here with what I worked out on paper so I can be sure I got it right. From my studies I love the language and wish I could learn to use it properly (and I certainly don't want nonsense written on my body, or something that means nothing, or with two of the letters in the wrong order or something), but I've found it impossible to learn more with the resources I have available.

Maybe someday I can learn more. In the meantime, thanks for any assistance!

Do you want the translation of
the phrases or the indivisual words?

Either I suppose. I was going for individual words because it didn't really occur to me to worry too much about conjugation, since the words are going to be scattered here and there on my body; but maybe it would be better to have them done as phrases, so they're correct.

Thanks for your reply!
