the Nārada Bhakti Sūtras (नारद भक्ति सूत्रस्)
अन्य मात् सौलभं भक्तौ anya māt saulabhaṃ bhaktau
The line
In this love there is ease of gaining, more than from another.
नेपालीमा
अर्कोभन्दा यो भक्तिमा पाउन सजिलो छ।
Where it sits
Still ranking inside defining the love. Ease is claimed for this love against another.
Split: anyasmāt (अन्यस्मात्) + saulabham (सौलभम्) + bhaktau (भक्तौ)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| anyasmāt (अन्यस्मात्) | ablative singular, neuter | than another. The print splits the sounds as anya (अन्य) and māt (मात्). |
| saulabham (सौलभम्) | nominative singular, neuter | ease of gaining. From sulabha (सुलभ). The print is saulabha (सौलभ), not a longer form. |
| bhaktau (भक्तौ) | locative singular, feminine | in this love. |
The phrases
anyasmāt (अन्यस्मात्) continues the comparison. saulabham (सौलभम्) is the nominative. bhaktau (भक्तौ) is where that ease sits. The subject is the love under discussion.
Sanskrit in this line
The print spaces anya māt (मात्) so the sounds match. The table's word is anyasmāt (अन्यस्मात्), than another.
Say it back
Where is the ease, and than what?
