केवलम् जीवन मा उषित आशङ्कनीय

That is what I found.
I am not sure how to make the font bigger in this forum, or even if I can. Sorry.

I do not claim to be an expert, and the meaning may change with context.
However, the literal translation of what I gave you is "only the life not lived is to be feared" but that is not how it should be taken in context (as far as my understanding goes).

I actually like the way you've phrased it more than what I was originally thinking!

Do you mind measking where you found this info?

Thank you

Well, you can ask, but I don't actually know.
I googled "Sanskrit Translation English" (after some difficulty googling otherwordings) and I found a few sites which, combining words, I was able to come up with the answer I provided.

I believe they were all (or most) Sanskrit - English dictionaries, rather than translators.

केवलमजीवितजीवनाद्बिभेहि

This is the appropriate translation for the English sentence given above.

Caution needs to be exercised as the standalone words translate differently
Than when translated in a sentence. In Sanskrit, grammatical suffixes are added
To the words indicative of case & number. It is not possible to add together individually
Translated words t omake a sentence.

Thanks for the correction. I didn't realize this, and I will refrain from trying to translate more than just single words from now on... xD


I'd like to appologize for making this mistake, and hope that the OP comes back to read what you put before getting what I incorrectly posted tattoo'd permanently onto them... =[

From my experience with Spanish and English, I have so far not found any software that will translate even simple phrases correctly. In the best of cases you get the gist of the original meaning, but never expressed correctly; in the worst of cases you get a completely unrelated or laughably distorted version.

Most bilingual people are aware of this, but those who aren't bilingual often don't realise how inefficient and short of the mark these software still are.

So, I appreciate it when people are honest and SAY in their post that they got their results from a translator. Better safe than sorry; tattoos are hard, expensive, and painful to reverse.
