1.20
भूतसन्धानभूतपृथक्त्वविश्वसंघट्टाः bhūtasandhānabhūtapṛthaktvaviśvasaṃghaṭṭāḥ
The line
Joining of beings, their separateness, and assemblings of the universe.
नेपालीमा
भूतहरूको जोड, तिनीहरूको अलगपन र विश्वका जमघटहरू हुन्।
Where it sits
The powers continue from 1.19. bhūta (भूत) can be read as element or as a being that has come to be. The line uses it twice and does not choose. 3.5 takes bhūta (भूत) up again beside the channels.
Split: bhūtasandhāna (भूतसन्धान) + bhūtapṛthaktva (भूतपृथक्त्व) + viśvasaṃghaṭṭāḥ (विश्वसंघट्टाः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| bhūtasandhāna (भूतसन्धान) | stem inside the list | joining of beings, or of elements. bhūta (भूत) is what has come to be. sandhāna (सन्धान) is joining. |
| bhūtapṛthaktva (भूतपृथक्त्व) | stem inside the list | separateness of beings. pṛthaktva (पृथक्त्व) is being apart. |
| viśvasaṃghaṭṭāḥ (विश्वसंघट्टाः) | nominative plural, masculine | assemblings of the universe. The plural ending sits on the last member and covers the list. |
The phrases
One plural covers three names. Joining beings, holding them apart, and assembling the universe.
Sanskrit in this line
A dvandva. Only the last member wears the case, and the case is plural because the list has several members.
Say it back
Name the three, and say which one wears the ending.
