tasyāṃ (तस्यां) is tasya (तस्य). It stands as genitive plural, or accusative singular, feminine. tu (तु) is but, and now. It stands as indeclinable.

syāt (स्यात्) is it would be, let it be granted. It stands as optative, third person singular. prayājavat (प्रयाजवत्) is this word, as the line writes it. It stands as the form as the line writes it.

Sanskrit in this line

prayājavat (प्रयाजवत्) is the form as the line writes it. That ending is the work an English preposition would do.

Say it back

Cover the English. Gloss tasyāṃ (तस्यां) and syāt (स्यात्).
