Śiva Sūtra / Āṇavopāya (आणव) / 3.35
3.35
मोहप्रतिसंहतस् तु कर्मात्मा mohapratisaṃhatas tu karmātmā
The line
One who is a mass of delusion has action as his self.
नेपालीमा
जो मोहको ढिक्का हो, उसको आत्मा कर्म हो।
Where it sits
The two tu (तु) lines are a pair. Alone, and a self of action. 3.36 says what happens to action when difference is set aside.
Split: mohapratisaṃhataḥ (मोहप्रतिसंहतः) + tu (तु) + karmātmā (कर्मात्मा)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| mohapratisaṃhataḥ (मोहप्रतिसंहतः) | nominative singular, masculine | compacted of delusion. pratisaṃhata (प्रतिसंहत) is drawn together into a mass. moha (मोह) is delusion. |
| tu (तु) | indeclinable | and, the turn. |
| karmātmā (कर्मात्मा) | nominative singular, masculine | one whose self is action. karman (कर्मन्) is action. ātman (आत्मन्) is the self. |
The phrases
And one who is a mass of delusion is a self of action. The tu (तु) sets him beside the alone one of 3.34.
Sanskrit in this line
pratisaṃhataḥ (प्रतिसंहतः) before t (त्) becomes pratisaṃhatas (प्रतिसंहत). karman (कर्मन्) plus ātman (आत्मन्) joins as karmātman (कर्मात्मन्), with the nominative karmātmā (कर्मात्मा).
