The Upaniṣads / Kaṭha / 6.6 The senses, separate
6.6
इन्द्रियाणां पृथग्भावमुदयास्तमयौ च यत् ।
पृथगुत्पद्यमानानां मत्वा धीरो न शोचति indriyāṇāṃ pṛthagbhāvam udayāstamayau ca yat |
pṛthag utpadyamānānāṃ matvā dhīro na śocati
The line
The separateness of the senses, and their rising and setting, of those that arise each apart: having thought that, the wise one does not grieve.
नेपालीमा
छुट्टाछुट्टै उठ्ने इन्द्रियहरूको अलगपन र तिनीहरूको उदय तथा अस्त विचार गरेपछि ज्ञानी शोक गर्दैन।
Where it sits
The horses of the chariot, seen as separate risings and settings, are not a cause of grief once thought. The next two mantras climb the ladder again.
Split: indriyāṇām (इन्द्रियाणाम्) + pṛthak-bhāvam (पृथक्-भावम्) + udaya-astamayau ca (उदय-अस्तमयौ च) + yat (यत्) + pṛthak utpadyamānānām (पृथकुत्पद्यमानानाम्) + matvā (मत्वा) + dhīraḥ na śocati (धीरः न शोचति)
