Words are live ones, follow them:

Words are not a mere combination of a few alphabets, much more than that they have a life, a life to be understood, a life to be followed in a proper spirit. They are not meant to be wasted, they rather need to be adored, adored solemnly. Whatever be the language any where in the world, each one has a personality, a personality of their own to be realisably adhered to.

They need a soft treatment and never to be subjected to a twist. Once twisted, they lose the very essence of theirs and are rendered sans their intrinsic worth. They have to be loved and not raped as many a people do most often damaging the very fabric of the language concerned. No two words convey the same message nor any word has any thing like a synonym –synonyms are at the most a mere neighbourhood with some sort of a semblance and nothing beyond that. If some word is replaced by another, it actually does some thing of the nature of a compromise as a matter of a limping substitute.

Vanbhatta, the legendary Sanskrit poet, is well known for never using a word second time in his works for the simple reason that each word has a unique expression for itself and it just can’t be duplicated. Take for instance some equivalent word in English like ‘pure’ which is explained as some thing ‘pious’ or ‘sacred’ or even ‘chaste’ but all the four words are not the same as each one of them carries a different value. Which word fits where is the exercise supposedly done by the writers and there lies the element of their dexterity. Usage of non befitting words in fact causes the whole mess giving expressions a shape of garbage only. The more respectfully we treat the words, the more distinct is the relative expression. Take the word by its soul and not by its built up as is the case while dealing with humans.
