the Pratyabhijñāhṛdayam (प्रत्यभिज्ञाहृदयम्)
तदपरिज्ञाने स्वशक्तिभिर् व्यामोहितता संसारित्वम् tadaparijñāne svaśaktibhir vyāmohitatā saṃsāritvam
The line
When that is not fully known, being bewildered by one's own powers is the wandering of the round.
नेपालीमा
त्यो राम्ररी नचिन्दा, आफ्नै शक्तिहरूले मोहित हुनु नै संसारमा घुम्नु हो।
Where it sits
13 is the same condition turned over: when it is fully known. The pair is aparijñāna (अपरिज्ञान) and parijñāna (परिज्ञान).
Split: tadaparijñāne (तदपरिज्ञाने) + svaśaktibhiḥ (स्वशक्तिभिः) + vyāmohitatā (व्यामोहितता) + saṃsāritvam (संसारित्वम्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| tadaparijñāne (तदपरिज्ञाने) | locative singular, neuter | when that is not fully known. pari (परि) plus jñāna (ज्ञान) is knowing through. a (अ) takes it away. tat (तत्) is one's own nature as the doer of the five acts. The locative is the condition. |
| svaśaktibhiḥ (स्वशक्तिभिः) | instrumental plural, feminine | by one's own powers. Recited svaśaktibhir (स्वशक्तिभिर्) before v (व्). |
| vyāmohitatā (व्यामोहितता) | nominative singular, feminine | the state of being bewildered. vyāmohita (व्यामोहित) is bewildered. tā (ता) makes the state. |
| saṃsāritvam (संसारित्वम्) | nominative singular, neuter | being one who wanders the round. |
The phrases
The locative sets the condition. In that condition, bewilderment by one's own powers is the wandering. The powers are sva (स्व), his own, not an outside jailer.
Sanskrit in this line
a (अ) on parijñāna (परिज्ञान) is the negative. svaśaktibhiḥ (स्वशक्तिभिः) before v (व्) is svaśaktibhir (स्वशक्तिभिर्). The ḥ (ः) becomes r (र्).
Say it back
Say what is not known, and what that not-knowing is.
