Tattvārtha Sūtra / 2. Jīva (जीव) / 2.50
नारकसंमूर्च्छिनो नपुंसकानि
nārakasaṃmūrcchino napuṃsakāni
The line
Not arakasaṃmūrcchina (अरकसंमूर्च्छिन), napuṃsaka (नपुंसक).
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Jīva (जीव). The soul, its states, and the kinds of beings. The line is short. śubhaṃ (शुभं) from 2.49 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + arakasaṃmūrcchino (अरकसंमूर्च्छिनो) + napuṃsakāni (नपुंसकानि)
