2 | Nepal's biggest religious festival Dashain will bid farewell for this year on October 3rd, Saturday. | Ny fety be ara-pinoana manan-danja indrindra any Nepal, Dashain dia hifarana amin'ity taona ity ny Sabotsy 3 Oktobra. |
3 | The day which celebrates the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, is also known as Kojagrat Purnima. | Ity andro ity dia natokana ho an'ny Andriamani-bavy Hindu izay Andriamanitry ny fahasalamana sy fahombiazana, izay antsoina ihany koa hoe Kojagrat Purnima. |
4 | It marks the end of the fifteen day long festivities. | Manamarika ny fiafaran'ny dimy ambinifolo andron'ny fety fankalazana izy ity. |
5 | Hindupad, a blog on Hinduism, explains the significance of various days of Dashain: | Hindupad, blaogy momba ny Hindoisma, dia manazava ny momba ireo andro samihafa amin'ny Dashain: |
6 | “On the first day of Dashain, Ghatasthapana puja is observed and ‘Dashain Ghar' or a special puja room is decorated. | “Tamin'ny andro voalohan'ny Dashain, nodinihana manokana ny Ghatasthapana puja ary ny Dashain Ghar, na noravahana ny efitra voatokana hivavahana. |
7 | During Dasain, Saptamatrikas (7 divine Mothers), Ashtamatrikas (8 tantrik Goddesses) and Nava Durga Goddesses (9 aspects of Durga) are worshiped. | Nandritra ny Dashain, i Saptamatrikas (Reny masina 7), Ashtamatrikas (Andriamani-bavy Tantrika 8) ary Andriamani-bavy Nava Durga (ireo endrika 9 hanehoana ny Durga) no nasandratra. |
8 | Barley or paddy is sowed on earthen pots (ghata) and after ten days the seeds get sprouted. | Aparitaka eny amin'ireo tavy vita avy amin'ny tany (ghata) ny “orge” sy ny vary ary ao aorian'ny folo andro dia mitsimoka ireo voa. |
9 | It marks the good harvest. | Manamarika taon-jina izany. |
10 | All non-resident Nepalese return to their country to celebrate the festival of Dashain.” | Ireo teratany Nepaley tsy mipetraka any an-tanindrazany dia miverina any daholo mba hankalaza ny Dashain.” |
11 | During the final five days of the festival, people receive the sprouts called jamara from elders as goddess Durga's blessings along with tika (rice grains mixed with vermilion power and yogurt). | Nandritra ny andro dimy farany tamin'ny fety be, dia nahazo tsimoka antsoina hoe jamara avy any amin'ireo zokiolona ny mponina ho toy fitahiana avy amin'ny Andriamanitra vavy Durga miaraka amin'ny tika (vary afangaro amin'ny vermillon vovony sy yaourt [habobo]). |

13 | A Sanskrit hymn is chanted when elders give the jamara and tika. | Niraina ny hiram-pivavahana Sanskrit tamin'ny fotoana nanoloran'ireo zoky olona ny jamara sy tika. |
14 | For men the hymn is “‘Aayu Drona Sute” and for women it is “Jayanti mangala kali” . | Ireo lehilahy nihira ny “‘Aayu Drona Sute” ary ireo vehivavy kosa dia ny “Jayanti mangala kali” . |
15 | Nepaleselaw explains the meaning of the first line of “Aaayn Drona Sute”: | Nepaleselaw manazava ny dikan'ny andàlana voalohany amin'ny “Aaayn Drona Sute”: |
16 | “The actual meaning of ‘Aayu Drona Sute' means May you have a long life like Son of Drona. | “Ny dikan'ny ‘Aayu Drona Sute' amin'izao fotoana dia hoe Mba ho ela velona toy ny Zanakalahin'i Drona anie ianao. |
17 | The Son of Drona is called Asosthama, which is considered to be one of the Aastha Chiranjivi (Aastha Chiranjivi means those eight people who never die as per Hindu epics). | Ny zanak'i Drona dia antsoina hoe Asosthama, izay lazaina ho iray avy amin'ireo Aastha Chiranjivi (Aastha Chiranjivi dia ireo olona valo velona mandrakizay amin'ny finoana Hindu ). |
18 | Therefore, when our parents bless us saying ‘Aayu Drona Sute', that means let my children have long life like Asosthama………that means you never die” | Noho izany, rehefa misto-drano ireo zanany ny raiamandreny hoe ‘Aayu Drona Sute', dia midika hoe ataovy ho ela andro iainana ohatran'i Asosthama ny zanako………midika izany fa tsy ho faty mandrakizay ianao” |
19 | The hymn also wishes for prosperity, destruction of enemies and fame. | Ity hira ity koa dia mirary fahombiazana, famotehana ireo fahavalo ary fandresena. |
20 | Jayanti mangala kali, on the other hand, praises the goddess but makes no worldly wish. | Esty andaniny, ny Jayanti mangala kali dia vavaka atao amin'ny Andriamanitra vavy fa misy hàtaka mihitsy na iray aza . |
21 | For the Nepalese diaspora Dashian is especially a poignant time. | Ho an'ny diaspora avy any Nepal, ny Dashian dia fotoana manokana manindrona ny fo. |
22 | Missing home, family and friends they try to organize celebrations in diaspora. | Lavitry ny akany niaviany, ny fianakaviany sy ny namany, dia miezaka izy ireo manao fety fankalazana miaraka. |
23 | The occasion provides them a chance to meet other Nepalese, procrastinate about home and have some good time together. | Ity fety ity dia manome azy ireo fahafahana mifankahita amin'ny teratany Nepaley hafa, mamisavisa ny an'ny an-tanàna sy miara-miravoravo. |

27 | Malshri tune is played during the festival, which is considered as auspicious. | Ny gadon-kira Malshri dia natao nandritra ny fankalazàna, izay raisina ho mitory hoavy tsara. |

29 | This year's Dashain in Nepal was a bit controversial, with animal rights activists calling for an end to the tradition of animal sacrifice during the festival. | Tamin'ity taona ity dia nisy tsy fifankahazoana kely tamin'ny Dashain tany Nepal, noho ireo mpiaro ny zon'ny biby niantso fampitsaharana ny fanaovana sorona ny biby mandritra ny fankalazana. |
30 | Goats, sheep, buffaloes and even chickens are ritually sacrificed as an offering to the goddess. | Ireo osy, ondry, omby ary ireo akoho dia atao sorona ara-pomba ary omena ny Andriamanitra vavy. |
31 | AnimalRightsNepal calls for a more humane Dashain: | AnimalRightsNepal miantso amin'ny fanaovana ny fetin'ny Dashain mifanaraka kokoa amin'ny maha-olona : |
32 | “Hindu religious book speaks for preserving planet and all living creature for better world so stop killing animals and sacrificing animals name of God. | “Ireo bokin'ny finona Hindoisma dia miresaka ny fiarovana ity planeta ity sy ireo miaina rehetra eto mba hananana tontolo tsara, noho izany ajanony ny famonona sy fanaovana sorona ireo biby amin'ny anaran'Andriamanitra. |
33 | Celebrate Dashain without blood and meat. | Ankalazao lavitry ny rà sy ny hena ny Dashain. |
34 | Save animals, save ecosystem.” | Vonjeo ny biby, vonjeo ny tontolo iainana.” |
35 | Various groups, including those promoting a more peaceful Nepal, have banded together to ban animal sacrifice in the country. | Vondron'olona maro, ao anatin'izay ireo mpikatsaka Nepal mandry fahalemana, dia nivondrona mba handràra ny fanaovana sorona ireo biby ao amin'ny firenena. |
36 | So far, the public's reaction has been positive but there have been no official statement on the issue. | Hatramin'izao aloha, mahavelom-panantenana ny fihetsiky ny olona nefa hatramin'izao aloha dia tsy mbola nahitàna fnambaràna ofisialy momba ity resaka ity. |
37 | Even with controversies, different religious persuasion or difficult political and economic situation in Nepal, Dashain is celebrated as a joyous occasion and continues to be a festival that brings people together. | Na eo aza ireo tsy fanekena, ireo fandresen-dahatra ara-pinona maro na koa ny fahasarotana ara-politika sy ekonomika any Nepal, ny Dashain dia ankalazaina ohatran'ny fotoana mampiravoravo ary mitoetra hatrany ho fety be mampifandray ny olona. |
