the Nārada Bhakti Sūtras (नारद भक्ति सूत्रस्)
सा न कामयमाना निरोधरूपत्वात् sā na kāmayamānā nirodharūpatvāt
The line
She is not one who desires, because her form is restraint.
नेपालीमा
त्यो भक्ति चाहना गर्ने होइन, निरोध रूप भएकाले।
Where it sits
The definition returns from the person who gains her to the devotion herself.
Split: sā (सा) + na (न) + kāmayamānā (कामयमाना) + nirodharūpatvāt (निरोधरूपत्वात्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| sā (सा) | nominative singular, feminine | she. The devotion. |
| na (न) | indeclinable | not. Denies the participle. |
| kāmayamānā (कामयमाना) | present participle, nominative singular, feminine | desiring. From kāmay (कामय्), to want. Agrees with sā (सा). |
| nirodharūpatvāt (निरोधरूपत्वात्) | ablative singular, neuter | because of the state of having restraint as her form. nirodha (निरोध) is restraint. rūpa (रूप) is form. The abstract ablative gives the reason. Read from the end. |
The phrases
sā (सा) is the subject. na kāmayamānā (कामयमाना) is the predicate, agreeing with her. The ablative gives the reason and does not agree.
Sanskrit in this line
nirodha plus rūpa (रूप) plus tva is one ablative. The suffix tva takes the ablative āt (आत्), and the t is single.
