Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.1.2
संशयनिर्णयान्तराभावश् च ज्ञानान्तरत्वे हेतुः
saṃśayanirṇayāntarābhāvaś ca jñānāntaratve hetuḥ
The line
And the absence of anything between doubt and decision is a reason for pleasure and pain being other than knowing.
नेपालीमा
संशय र निर्णयको बीचमा केही नहुनु सुख र दुःख ज्ञानभन्दा अर्कै हुनुको कारण हो।
Where it sits
sukhaduḥkhayoḥ (सुखदुःखयोः) from 10.1.1 is still the pair. 10.1.3 says how those two arise.
Split: saṃśaya-nirṇaya-antara-abhāvaḥ (संशय-निर्णय-अन्तर-अभावः) + ca (च) + jñāna-antaratve (ज्ञान-अन्तरत्वे) + hetuḥ (हेतुः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| saṃśaya-nirṇaya-antara-abhāvaḥ (संशय-निर्णय-अन्तर-अभावः) | nominative singular, masculine | the absence of anything between doubt and decision. saṃśaya (संशय) is doubt. nirṇaya (निर्णय) is the decision that ends it. antara (अन्तर) is an interval. |
| ca (च) | indeclinable | and. It adds this reason to 10.1.1. |
| jñāna-antaratve (ज्ञान-अन्तरत्वे) | locative singular, neuter | in the state of being other than knowing. jñāna (ज्ञान) is a knowing. antaratva (अन्तरत्व) is the state of being something else. |
| hetuḥ (हेतुः) | nominative singular, masculine | a reason |
The phrases
The subject is the absence of a gap. Doubt is followed by decision, and the line says nothing else sits between those two.
The locative says where that reason applies. Pleasure and pain, the pair from 10.1.1, are other than a knowing. A knowing has the shape 'doubt, then decision.' The line sets pleasure and pain outside that shape.
Sanskrit in this line
saṃśayanirṇayāntarābhāvaḥ (संशयनिर्णयान्तराभावः) is one compound, read from abhāva (अभाव). nirṇaya (निर्णय) + antara (अन्तर) is nirṇayāntara (निर्णयान्तर), and antara (अन्तर) + abhāva (अभाव) is antarābhāva (अन्तराभाव), both by a (अ) + a (अ) = ā (आ). The file joins ca (च) as abhāvaśca (अभावश्च). Before c (च्), visarga is ś (श्).
