the Nārada Bhakti Sūtras (नारद भक्ति सूत्रस्)
नारदस् तु तदर्पिताखिलाचारता तद्विस्मरणे परमव्याकुलतेति nāradas tu tadarpitākhilācāratā tadvismaraṇe paramavyākulateti
The line
But Nārada (नारद) says: the state of offering all conduct to that, and, when that is forgotten, supreme agitation.
नेपालीमा
नारद चाहिँ यसो भन्छन्, सबै आचरण त्यसमा अर्पित हुनु, र त्यो बिर्सँदा परम व्याकुल हुनु।
Where it sits
Nārada (नारद)'s own sentence, after three other speakers, still in the chapter on the form of the supreme bhakti.
Split: nāradaḥ (नारदः) + tu (तु) + tadarpitākhilācāratā (तदर्पिताखिलाचारता) + tadvismaraṇe (तद्विस्मरणे) + paramavyākulatā (परमव्याकुलता) + iti (इति)

The phrases
nāradaḥ (नारदः) is the speaker. tu sets him after the three shorter accounts. The two feminine nominatives are his marks: tadarpitākhilācāratā (तदर्पिताखिलाचारता), and paramavyākulatā (परमव्याकुलता) when the locative tadvismaraṇe (तद्विस्मरणे) holds. iti closes the account.
Sanskrit in this line
nāradaḥ (नारदः) plus tu is heard with s between them. Visarga before voiceless t becomes s. paramavyākulatā (परमव्याकुलता) plus iti is paramavyākulateti (परमव्याकुलतेति), ā (आ) plus i becoming e. Inside tadarpitākhilācāratā (तदर्पिताखिलाचारता), a plus a and a plus ā (आ) each become ā (आ).
