Re: meaning of Shreyan

Thanks a lot for your comments. While searching on the web, I discovered that this name/word occurs in the Gita and is translated as superior, i believe. I am not very familiar with sanskrit, but would you know if shreyan and shreyas are different forms of the same word?thanks!
-Manish“Shreyan svadharma vigun parartha swanishtat
Svadharma nidhan shrey paramdharma bhayabhav”Superior is the law of one’s own nature, through lacking in merits, to that of another even though well observed. Death in working out the law of one’s own nature is superior, but an alien law is fraught with risk
