Where it sits

Astavakra is still speaking. The chapter closes on a mind that has melted and on some unnamed state.

Split: manaḥprakāśasaṃmohasvapnajāḍyavivarjitaḥ (मनःप्रकाशसंमोहस्वप्नजाड्यविवर्जितः) + daśām (दशाम्) + kām (काम्) + api (अपि) + samprāptaḥ (सम्प्राप्तः) + bhavet (भवेत्) + galitamānasaḥ (गलितमानसः)

galitamānasaḥ (गलितमानसः) and the long bahuvrīhi (बहुव्रीहि) agree as the subject of samprāptaḥ (सम्प्राप्तः) bhavet. daśām (दशाम्) kām (काम्) api is the object of samprāptaḥ (सम्प्राप्तः). bhavet puts the reaching in the optative.
