Harry Belafonte - Island in the sun - 1957







द्वीपः (dvIpaH)



What do we call an Island in Sanskrit?

An Island is called द्वीपः (dvIpaH) in Sanskrit.

What does द्वीपः (dvIpaH) mean?

Well, it means द्वि-अप् (dvi-ap)(two-waters) which translates as having water on both sides or sometimes even thought to mean as having two levels of water as in a high tide and a low tide.

Whatever the actual meaning, the island effect is surely intoxicating especially सूर्ये द्वीपः(sUrye dvIpaH)(Island in the sun)
