1.2.31
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 1 / 1.2.31
अनुस्मृतेर् बादरिः
anusmṛter bādariḥ
The line
Bādari (बादरि) says it is so because of recollection.
नेपालीमा
बादरि भन्छन्, स्मरणका कारण यस्तो हो।
Where it sits
Still the vaiśvānara (वैश्वानर) meditation of 1.2.25. Bādari (बादरि)'s reason is anusmṛti (अनुस्मृति), a third way beside Jaimini and Āśmarathya (आश्मरथ्य).
Split: anusmṛteḥ (अनुस्मृतेः) + bādariḥ (बादरिः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| anusmṛteḥ (अनुस्मृतेः) | ablative singular, feminine | because of recollection, of calling to mind |
| bādariḥ (बादरिः) | nominative singular, masculine | Bādari (बादरि) |
The phrases
anusmṛti (अनुस्मृति) is a remembering-after, a calling to mind in meditation. Bādari (बादरि)'s point: the belly, or the fire, is where the meditator recalls brahman (ब्रह्मन्). The word is a prompt for recollection, not a claim that brahman (ब्रह्मन्) is nothing but gastric fire.
No iti in this line. The pattern is the same: a name, and an ablative reason. The iti is understood from the series.
Sanskrit in this line
anusmṛti (अनुस्मृति) is feminine, from anu plus smṛ (स्मृ). bādariḥ (बादरिः) is the nominative of Bādari (बादरि).
Say it back
Add Bādari (बादरि)'s word, anusmṛti (अनुस्मृति), to the two you already have.
Next
1.2.32. Jaimini again: it is a meditative identification, and the text shows that.
