1.4.21
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 1 / 1.4.21
उत्क्रमिष्यत एवं भावादित्यौडुलोमिः
utkramiṣyata evaṃ bhāvād ity auḍulomiḥ
The line
Auḍulomi (औडुलोमि) says the being-thus belongs to the one who is about to depart.
नेपालीमा
औडुलोमि भन्छन्, त्यस्तो हुनु शरीर छाड्न लागेको व्यक्तिको हो।
Where it sits
The same liṅga (लिङ्ग) of 1.4.20, the identity-language, is what he places at departure. Śaṅkara (शङ्कर) records him as putting the identity only at release. Rāmānuja (रामानुज) rejects a merger at departure: the released soul remains a self. Madhva rejects the merger too. The soul does not become Viṣṇu (विष्णु) by leaving the body.
Split: utkramiṣyataḥ (उत्क्रमिष्यतः) + evam (एवम्) + bhāvāt (भावात्) + iti (इति) + auḍulomiḥ (औडुलोमिः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| utkramiṣyataḥ (उत्क्रमिष्यतः) | genitive singular, masculine | of the one about to depart |
| evam (एवम्) | indeclinable | thus, in this way |
| bhāvāt (भावात्) | ablative singular, masculine | because of the being, because of the state |
| iti (इति) | indeclinable | so |
| auḍulomiḥ (औडुलोमिः) | nominative singular, masculine | Auḍulomi (औडुलोमि) |
The phrases
utkramiṣyat (उत्क्रमिष्यत्) is the future participle: the one who will rise up and leave. Auḍulomi (औडुलोमि)'s view: the 'being thus', evam-bhāva (एवम्-भाव), the identity the sentences state, belongs to that one, at departure, at release. Before that, the soul and brahman (ब्रह्मन्) are not stated as one.
iti marks the view as his. The genitive utkramiṣyataḥ (उत्क्रमिष्यतः) says whose state is meant. The ablative bhāvāt (भावात्) is his reason: because that is the state the text is talking about when it speaks of becoming the self.
Sanskrit in this line
utkramiṣyataḥ (उत्क्रमिष्यतः) is genitive of the future participle of ut plus kram. evam is separate from bhāvāt (भावात्) in this pāṭha (पाठ), though together they mean 'the state of being so'. auḍulomiḥ (औडुलोमिः) before nothing keeps the visarga. iti before au is ity.
Say it back
Contrast him with Āśmarathya (आश्मरथ्य): not difference-and-non-difference now, but identity at going.
