the Nārada Bhakti Sūtras (नारद भक्ति सूत्रस्)
तत् तु विषयत्यागात् सङ्गत्यागात् च tat tu viṣayatyāgāt saṅgatyāgāt ca
The line
And that comes from abandoning objects and from abandoning clinging.
नेपालीमा
त्यो चाहिँ विषयको त्यागबाट र सङ्गको त्यागबाट हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The first means in the chapter on the means, given as two sources.
Split: tat (तत्) + tu (तु) + viṣayatyāgāt (विषयत्यागात्) + saṅgatyāgāt (सङ्गत्यागात्) + ca (च)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| tat (तत्) | nominative singular, neuter | that. The means, the gaining just announced. |
| tu (तु) | indeclinable | and. Turns to how that comes. |
| viṣayatyāgāt (विषयत्यागात्) | ablative singular, masculine | from the abandoning of objects. viṣaya (विषय) is an object. tyāga (त्याग) is abandonment. Ablative of source. Read from the end. |
| saṅgatyāgāt (सङ्गत्यागात्) | ablative singular, masculine | from the abandoning of clinging. saṅga (सङ्ग) is clinging, a holding contact. Read from the end. |
| ca (च) | indeclinable | and. Joins the two ablatives. |
The phrases
tat is the subject, carried as the means. The two ablatives are the sources, joined by ca. tu turns from the announcement to the sources.
Sanskrit in this line
Each compound ends in the ablative āt (आत्). viṣaya (विषय) plus tyāga (त्याग), and saṅga (सङ्ग) plus tyāga (त्याग). ca follows the second, as the text prints it.
Say it back
From what two abandonings does that come?
