1.2.2
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 1 / 1.2.2
विवक्षितगुणोपपत्तेश् च
vivakṣitaguṇopapatteś ca
The line
And because the qualities intended by the text fit Brahman (ब्रह्मन्), the being made of mind is Brahman (ब्रह्मन्).
नेपालीमा
र पाठले चाहेका गुण ब्रह्ममा मिल्ने भएकाले मनमय ब्रह्म हो।
Where it sits
The being of 1.2.1 is still the subject. The qualities are the ones Śāṇḍilya (शाण्डिल्य) lists, not a new set.
Split: vivakṣita-guṇa-upapatteḥ (विवक्षित-गुण-उपपत्तेः) + ca (च)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| vivakṣita-guṇa-upapatteḥ (विवक्षित-गुण-उपपत्तेः) | ablative singular, feminine | because the qualities that are meant fit |
| ca (च) | indeclinable | and |
The phrases
vivakṣita (विवक्षित) is what the speaker wants to say. The qualities wanted are true resolve, being the self of space, holding all works and all desires. Those fit brahman (ब्रह्मन्). They do not fit the embodied soul, who does not have all works and whose resolve is not the truth of things.
upapatti is fitness. ca adds it to the 'well known' of the previous line.
Sanskrit in this line
upapatti is feminine, so the ablative is -eḥ (-एः), recited -eś (-एश्) before ca.
Say it back
Name two qualities that only fit the well-known brahman (ब्रह्मन्): true resolve, and all desires.
