the Nārada Bhakti Sūtras (नारद भक्ति सूत्रस्)
तदर्पिताखिलाचारः सन् कामक्रोधाभिमानादिकं तस्मिन्नेव करणीयम् tadarpitākhilācāraḥ san kāmakrodhābhimānādikaṃ tasminn eva karaṇīyam
The line
Being one whose whole conduct is offered to that, desire, anger, pride, and the rest are to be done in that one alone.
नेपालीमा
सबै आचरण त्यसमा अर्पण गरेर, काम, क्रोध, अभिमान आदि त्यसैमा गर्नुपर्छ।
Where it sits
The refusals are not a blank. What remains of desire, anger, and pride is placed in that one. Still defining the love.
Split: tadarpitākhilācāraḥ (तदर्पिताखिलाचारः) + san (सन्) + kāmakrodhābhimānādikam (कामक्रोधाभिमानादिकम्) + tasmin (तस्मिन्) + eva (एव) + karaṇīyam (करणीयम्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| tadarpitākhilācāraḥ (तदर्पिताखिलाचारः) | nominative singular, masculine | he whose whole conduct is offered to that. tad (तद्) plus arpita (अर्पित) plus akhila (अखिल) plus ācāra (आचार). |
| san (सन्) | present participle, nominative singular, masculine | being. From as. Agrees with tadarpitākhilācāraḥ (तदर्पिताखिलाचारः). |
| kāmakrodhābhimānādikam (कामक्रोधाभिमानादिकम्) | nominative singular, neuter | desire, anger, pride, and the rest. kāma (काम) plus krodha (क्रोध) plus abhimāna (अभिमान) plus ādi (आदि). |
| tasmin (तस्मिन्) | locative singular, masculine | in that one. n (न्) doubles before eva (एव). |
| eva (एव) | indeclinable | alone. |
| karaṇīyam (करणीयम्) | gerundive, nominative singular, neuter | to be done. Agrees with kāmakrodhābhimānādikam (कामक्रोधाभिमानादिकम्). |
The phrases
san (सन्) agrees with the bahuvrīhi (बहुव्रीहि) and names the person's state. karaṇīyam (करणीयम्) agrees with the neuter list. tasmin (तस्मिन्) eva (एव) is where that list is to be done.
Sanskrit in this line
tasmin (तस्मिन्) plus eva (एव) is tasminn (तस्मिन्न्) eva (एव), with n (न्) doubled before the vowel. san (सन्) before k (क्) keeps the halant.
Say it back
Where are desire, anger, and pride to be done?
