The line
ṣaḍviṃśatir (षड्विंशतिर्), by means of practice, in a compound: an animal offering, and gaṇa (गण), because of a compound: that, nature, what is seen, and the state of being that, of gaṇa (गण), because of pravibhaktatva (प्रविभक्तत्व), in avikāra (अविकार). Of tāsa (तास), a compound: akārtsnye (अकार्त्स्न्ये), nābhi (नाभि), and a connection, a transformation, not samāsa (समास), it would be. syāt (स्यात्) before a voiced sound, because of asaṃyoga (असंयोग) and, by means of all.
