1.3.19
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 1 / 1.3.19
अन्यार्थश् च परामर्शः
anyārthaś ca parāmarśaḥ
The line
And the reference has another purpose.
नेपालीमा
र त्यो सङ्केतको अर्कै प्रयोजन छ।
Where it sits
parāmarśaḥ (परामर्शः) is the itara-parāmarśa (इतर-परामर्श) of 1.3.17. The small space remains brahman (ब्रह्मन्). anya-artha is 'another aim', the aim other than 'this word denotes the soul'.
Split: anya-arthaḥ (अन्य-अर्थः) + ca (च) + parāmarśaḥ (परामर्शः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| anya-arthaḥ (अन्य-अर्थः) | nominative singular, masculine | having another aim |
| ca (च) | indeclinable | and |
| parāmarśaḥ (परामर्शः) | nominative singular, masculine | the reference |
The phrases
parāmarśa (परामर्श) is the mention of the serene individual. anya-artha means it has a different aim. The aim is to show the one who goes, or the goal as it concerns the soul, not to rename the small space as the soul.
ca adds this to the reply already given. The reference stays in the passage. Its job is not identification.
Sanskrit in this line
anya plus artha: a plus a becomes ā (आ), anyārtha (अन्यार्थ). Both nominatives, a predicate and a subject: the reference is other-aimed.
Say it back
Say what the reference is for, in your own words: it follows the one who reaches, it does not rename the space.
