कलाबाट सुरु हुने तत्त्वहरूको अविवेक माया हो।
Where it sits
1.10 called non-discrimination the deep sleep of māyā (माया). This line says what is not being told apart: the tattvas (तत्त्व) that begin with kalā (कला). The list of those principles is not printed in the sūtra (सूत्र).
Split: kalādīnām (कलादीनाम्) + tattvānām (तत्त्वानाम्) + avivekaḥ (अविवेकः) + māyā (माया)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| kalādīnām (कलादीनाम्) | genitive plural, feminine | of kalā (कला) and the rest. ādi (आदि) means beginning with, and the rest. |
| tattvānām (तत्त्वानाम्) | genitive plural, neuter | of the principles. tattva (तत्त्व) is a that-ness, a principle. |
| avivekaḥ (अविवेकः) | nominative singular, masculine | non-discrimination. The prefix a (अ) on viveka (विवेक). |
| māyā (माया) | nominative singular, feminine | māyā (माया). |
The phrases
Two genitives, then two nominatives. Of the principles beginning with kalā (कला), the failure to tell them apart is māyā (माया).
Sanskrit in this line
avivekaḥ (अविवेकः) before m (म्) becomes aviveko (अविवेको). The genitive plural ānām (आनाम्) is written ānāṃ (आनां) before t (त्).
Say it back
Say whose non-discrimination, and say what the line calls it.
