Meaning, etymology & significance

Samarthansh (समर्थांश) is built from samartha — capable, able, dharmically strong — and aṃśa, portion. The Sanskrit samartha is one of the great words of moral capability: it implies not merely physical strength but the strength of one who can do what dharma asks.

The 17th-century Marathi saint Samartha Ramdas, guru of Shivaji Maharaj, bears samartha as the very heart of his title. The word names that quality of disciplined-strength that is the foundation of Hindu warrior-saint tradition.
