Tarka-Saṃgraha / 47. The instrument is the consideration
47
स्वार्थानुमितिपरार्थानुमित्योर् लिङ्गपरामर्श एव करणम् ।
तस्माल् लिङ्गपरामर्शोऽनुमानम् svārthānumitiparārthānumityor liṅgaparāmarśa eva karaṇam |
tasmāl liṅgaparāmarśo 'numānam
The line
Of both the knowing for oneself and the knowing for another, the instrument is just the consideration of the mark. Therefore the consideration of the mark is inference.
नेपालीमा
आफ्ना लागि र अर्काका लागि दुवै ज्ञानको करण लिङ्गको परामर्श नै हो। त्यसैले लिङ्गको परामर्श नै अनुमान हो।
Where it sits
The mark itself is of three kinds. 48.
Split: sva-artha-anumiti-para-artha-anumityoḥ (स्व-अर्थ-अनुमिति-पर-अर्थ-अनुमित्योः) + liṅga-parāmarśaḥ (लिङ्ग-परामर्शः) + eva (एव) + karaṇam (करणम्) + tasmāt (तस्मात्) + liṅga-parāmarśaḥ (लिङ्ग-परामर्शः) + anumānam (अनुमानम्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| svārthānumiti-parārthānumityoḥ (स्वार्थानुमिति-परार्थानुमित्योः) | genitive dual | Of the inferential knowing for oneself and the inferential knowing for another. |
| liṅga-parāmarśaḥ (लिङ्ग-परामर्शः) | nominative singular, masculine | The consideration of the mark. Heard parāmarśa (परामर्श) before eva (एव). |
| eva karaṇam (एव करणम्) | just the instrument | In both. |
| tasmāt (तस्मात्) | indeclinable | Therefore. Heard tasmāl (तस्माल्) before liṅga (लिङ्ग). |
| anumānam (अनुमानम्) | nominative singular, neuter | Is inference. The consideration is what the name anumāna (अनुमान) lands on. |
The phrases
The five-membered sentence is for the other person. The instrument of the knowing, in both cases, is the consideration.
Sanskrit in this line
Tasmāt (तस्मात्) before liṅga (लिङ्ग) is tasmāl (तस्माल्). A final t (त्) before l (ल्) is heard as l (ल्).
Parāmarśaḥ (परामर्शः) before anumānam (अनुमानम्) is parāmarśo 'numānam (परामर्शोऽनुमानम्).
Say it back
Say what, in both inferences, is the karaṇa (करण).
