Deepakam – Class 7 Sanskrit Chapter-wise Solutions

Chapter 1: वन्दे भारतमातरम्

Opening the book with a patriotic hymn, this chapter nurtures शुद्ध उच्चारण (clear pronunciation) and अर्थग्रहण (meaning capture) through vivid imagery of India’s rivers, mountains, and seasons. Students learn how collective nouns and adjectives enhance praise, and how compounds (समास) compress meaning elegantly. We practise picking synonyms (पर्यायवाची) like मातृभूमिः/भारतभूमिः, and identify verb forms in present tense. The solution frames show how to convert poetic lines into simple prose (अन्वय) before answering प्रश्नाः, a powerful exam technique. Writing practice includes two rhythmic lines of your own and a short paragraph in Hindi/English on “What I admire about my country,” linking vocabulary to real expression. By the end, you can paraphrase stanzas, answer RTC style questions, and annotate key phrases with grammar tags—useful for both comprehension and memory.

Chapter 2: नित्यं पिबामः सुभाषितरसम्

Subhāṣitas (wise couplets) convey timeless values through compact Sanskrit. You’ll decode meaning by spotting cause–effect connectors (यतः… अतः), contrasts, and metaphors. Grammar focus includes identifying indeclinables (अव्ययाः) that glue ideas, and the knack of splitting compounds (विग्रह) to reveal sense. Solutions guide you to write a one-line moral in Sanskrit/Hindi and a two-line example from daily life—exactly how evaluators expect applied understanding. We practise converting verses into direct advice sentences (आज्ञार्थक वाक्यानि) and build a small “value lexicon” (e.g., सत्यं, धैर्यम्, करुणा). With repeated exposure, reading speed and confidence rise, helping both language and life skills.

Chapter 3: मित्राय नमः

A narrative celebrating friendship, this chapter enriches dialogue reading and pronoun tracking (सर्वनाम-प्रयोगः). You’ll map who speaks to whom and why, then extract traits like साहाय्यम् (helpfulness) and विश्वसनीयता (trust). Grammar practice covers simple present/past verbs and postpositions via case endings (कारक-चिह्नानि). Solutions model short character sketches in Sanskrit/Hindi with evidence quotes. To make RTC answers score-sure, we first restate the situation in one line, point to the key word, then conclude with the value shown—concise and examiner-friendly.

Chapter 4: न लभ्यते चेत् आम्लं द्राक्षाफलम्

A witty fable on contentment and wise choices, this lesson sharpens proverb interpretation and theme extraction. You’ll see how compact proverbs generalise experience and how comparatives/superlatives are formed. Solutions show how to paraphrase a maxim and add an original example—key to 3- or 5-mark answers. Grammar spotlight: degrees of adjectives, compound verbs, and basic लोट् (request/advice) forms for polite instructions. A short writing task turns the moral into a daily goal statement, reinforcing practical language use.

Chapter 5: सेवा हि परमो धर्मः

Centred on service, this chapter blends narrative with subhāṣita lines to show duty in action—helping elders, community work, and care for nature. You will track verbal roots (धातवः) that express action and intention, and practise active/passive sense through context. Solutions guide concise 5-marker writing: define सेवा, cite one story event, quote a line, and conclude with a personal application. The grammar drills include choosing correct कारक for “for whom/with what/where,” making your sentence-making stronger for all chapters.

Chapter 6: क्रीडाम वयं श्लोकान्त्याक्षरीम्

A playful chapter using verse-ending letter chains (अन्त्याक्षरी), perfect for pronunciation, rhythm, and vocabulary growth. We practise spotting metres at a basic level, maintaining sandhi while reciting, and building meaning from context. Solutions include small pronunciation tips and a mini-glossary. Tasks: create two new lines respecting last-letter continuation, and a short reflective note on how rhyme supports memory—both fun and high-retention exercises for exams and recitation activities.

Chapter 7: ईशावास्यम् इदं सर्वम्

Introducing a philosophical note, this lesson cultivates careful reading of abstract ideas—seeing the world as divine-filled, embracing contentment and responsibility. We translate compact lines into plain prose, then into life applications like minimalism and respect for shared resources. Grammar work highlights indeclinables and compound splitting to reveal meaning. Answers follow: quote → idea → daily practice—a reliable scoring pattern for reflective chapters.

Chapter 8: हितं मनोहारि च दुर्लभं वचः

“Speech that is true, beneficial, and pleasing is rare.” The chapter trains polite expression and moral reasoning. You will transform blunt sentences into courteous ones using लोट् for soft advice and select adjectives that add respect. Solutions include a 3-point filter—सत्यम्, हितम्, प्रियं—to check sentences. In writing, craft a short dialogue applying the filter; in grammar, practise vocatives and honorific forms commonly used in Sanskrit textbooks.

Chapter 9: अन्नाद् भवन्ति भूतानि

A practical lesson on food, farming, and gratitude, linking effort to nourishment. Reading focuses on process explanation (how food reaches the plate), while grammar revises instrumental and locative uses (करण/अधिकरण). Solutions model a 5-marker: define idea, give two steps in order, and end with a value line (no wastage, respect for farmers). A small chart converts verbs to nouns (e.g., कृष् → कृषकः/कृषिः), strengthening word families.

Chapter 10: दशमः कः

A classic reasoning tale showing how panic ends when we count properly—an excellent logic builder. You will practise ordinal numbers, careful counting words, and short, direct sentences. Solutions stress problem identification, verification, and conclusion—mirroring reasoning in maths/science. Grammar highlights numbers in different cases and agreement (वचन-अनुरूपता) to avoid common exam slips.

Chapter 11: द्वीपेषु रम्यः द्वीपोऽण्डमानः

A descriptive piece on the Andaman Islands connects geography with language. You’ll map place words (दक्षिणे, पूर्वे), nature vocabulary, and tourism notes. Solutions include a small labelled map cue and a travel note in Sanskrit/Hindi using simple present tense. Grammar practice: locative plural forms and compound nouns for landscape features—excellent for precise, picture-rich answers.

Chapter 12: वीराङ्गना पन्नाधाया

A biographical sketch of courage and sacrifice that builds narrative comprehension with dates, places, and cause–effect. Solutions teach a reliable 5-step frame: who, where/when, challenge, action, legacy, followed by a two-line value reflection. Grammar support includes past-time expressions and participles used frequently in biographies, helping you write compact, factual paragraphs.

Chapter 13: अतिरिक्‍तम् अध्‍ययनम् — वर्णमात्रा-परिचयः

An extra-learning chapter strengthening letter-sound awareness and मात्रा usage. You’ll practise accurate reading/writing, visarga/anusvāra handling, and common sandhi effects on pronunciation. Solutions provide minimal-pair lists, quick dictation sheets, and a checklist for neat handwriting. This chapter boosts fluency for every lesson, reducing mistakes in spelling and chanting.
