Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| yat (यत्) | accusative singular, neuter | which. Object of the gerund, the same devotion. |
| prāpya (प्राप्य) | gerund, indeclinable | having reached. From pra (प्र) plus āp (आप्). |
| na (न) | indeclinable | not. With kiñcit (किञ्चित्), nothing. |
| kiñcit (किञ्चित्) | accusative singular, neuter | anything. Object of vāñchati (वाञ्छति). Recited kiñcid (किञ्चिद्) before v (व्). |
| vāñchati (वाञ्छति) | present third person singular | wants. From vāñch (वाञ्छ्). |
| na (न) | indeclinable | not. Denies śocati (शोचति). |
| śocati (शोचति) | present third person singular | grieves. From śuc (शुच्). |
| na (न) | indeclinable | not. Denies dveṣṭi (द्वेष्टि). |
| dveṣṭi (द्वेष्टि) | present third person singular | hates. From dviṣ (द्विष्). |
| na (न) | indeclinable | not. Denies ramate (रमते). |
| ramate (रमते) | present third person singular, middle | delights. From ram (रम्). |
| na (न) | indeclinable | not. With utsāhī (उत्साही) and bhavati (भवति). Recited joined: a plus u becomes o, so notsāhī (नोत्साही). |
| utsāhī (उत्साही) | nominative singular, masculine | eager, one who presses on. From utsāhin (उत्साहिन्). Agrees with the person carried from the previous line. |
| bhavati (भवति) | present third person singular | becomes. |
The phrases
yat is again the object of a gerund. The person of the previous line is the subject of the five finite verbs. Each na denies the verb it stands with. kiñcit (किञ्चित्) is the object only of vāñchati (वाञ्छति). utsāhī (उत्साही) agrees with that person and is the predicate of the last bhavati.
Sanskrit in this line
kiñcit (किञ्चित्) before v is recited kiñcid (किञ्चिद्), because t before a voiced consonant becomes d. na plus utsāhī (उत्साही) is notsāhī (नोत्साही), a plus u becoming o. yat plus prāpya (प्राप्य) keeps the t, since p is voiceless.
