the Pratyabhijñāhṛdayam (प्रत्यभिज्ञाहृदयम्)
स चैको द्विरूपस् त्रिमयश् चतुरात्मा सप्तपञ्चकस्वभावः sa caiko dvirūpas trimayaś caturātmā saptapañcakasvabhāvaḥ
The line
And he is one, of two forms, made of three, of a fourfold nature, his own being the sevens and the fives.
नेपालीमा
अनि ऊ एक हो, दुई रूपको, तीनबाट बनेको, चार स्वभावको, सात र पाँचको समूह नै उसको आफ्नो भाव हो।
Where it sits
The sūtra (सूत्र) gives the numbers and does not unpack them. Kṣemarāja (क्षेमराज)'s commentary reads the seven and the five in more than one grouping, among them the thirty-five tattvas (तत्त्व) and the seven knowers with the five coverings. Those groupings are the commentary. The line sat here is the numbers.
Split: saḥ (सः) + ca (च) + ekaḥ (एकः) + dvirūpaḥ (द्विरूपः) + trimayaḥ (त्रिमयः) + caturātmā (चतुरात्मा) + saptapañcakasvabhāvaḥ (सप्तपञ्चकस्वभावः)

| saptapañcakasvabhāvaḥ (सप्तपञ्चकस्वभावः) | nominative singular, masculine | whose own being is the group of seven and the group of five. sapta (सप्त) is seven. pañcaka (पञ्चक) is a group of five. svabhāva (स्वभाव) is one's own being. |
The phrases
One chain of nominatives describing saḥ (सः). He is one, of two forms, made of three, of four natures, and his own being is seven-and-five.
Sanskrit in this line
Before a voiced consonant the visarga of saḥ (सः) and of ekaḥ (एकः) becomes o (ओ). Before t (त्), dvirūpaḥ (द्विरूपः) is dvirūpas (द्विरूप). Before c (च्), trimayaḥ (त्रिमयः) is trimayaś (त्रिमयश्). The split restores each visarga.
