Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

एकस्यापि न वै शक्यस्त्वन्तो ज्ञानार्णवस्य हि ।
गन्तुं किं पुनरन्येषां ज्ञानानामर्थतत्त्वतः
ekasyāpi na vai śakyastvanto jñānārṇavasya hi |
gantuṃ kiṃ punaranyeṣāṃ jñānānāmarthatattvataḥ

The line

Even of one ocean of knowing the end cannot be reached. How much more of the other knowings, as to the truth of their meaning.

नेपालीमा

एउटा ज्ञानको समुद्रको पनि अन्त्यसम्म पुग्न सकिँदैन। अरू ज्ञानहरूको अर्थको सत्यतामा पुग्नु त झन् परको कुरा हो।

Where it sits

Continues 6.6. One science is already an ocean.

The quarters run 16, 16 syllables. A hyphen in the split is a compound joint, a teaching mark, and the voice joins it.
