Vijñāna Bhairava (विज्ञान भैरव)
क्रमद्वादशकं सम्यग् द्वादशाक्षरभेदितम् ।
स्थूलसूक्ष्मपरस्थित्या मुक्त्वा मुक्त्वान्ततः शिवः kramadvādaśakaṃ samyag dvādaśākṣarabheditam |
sthūlasūkṣmaparasthityā muktvā muktvāntataḥ śivaḥ
The line
The sequence of twelve, rightly, differentiated by the twelve vowels, by the standing of gross, subtle, and supreme, releasing and releasing: at the end, Śiva (शिव).
नेपालीमा
बाह्रको क्रम ठीकसँग बाह्र स्वरले छुट्याइएको छ। स्थूल, सूक्ष्म र पर स्थितिबाट एकपछि अर्को छोड्दै जाँदा, अन्त्यमा शिव।
Where it sits
Gross, subtle, and supreme are three standings inside one sequence. Later verses use the same three.
Split: kramadvādaśakam (क्रमद्वादशकम्) + samyak (सम्यक्) + dvādaśākṣarabheditam (द्वादशाक्षरभेदितम्) + sthūlasūkṣmaparasthityā (स्थूलसूक्ष्मपरस्थित्या) + muktvā (मुक्त्वा) + muktvā (मुक्त्वा) + antataḥ (अन्ततः) + śivaḥ (शिवः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| kramadvādaśakam (क्रमद्वादशकम्) | accusative singular, neuter | the sequence of twelve. |
| samyak (सम्यक्) | indeclinable | rightly, fully. |
| dvādaśākṣarabheditam (द्वादशाक्षरभेदितम्) | accusative singular, neuter | differentiated by the twelve vowels. akṣara (अक्षर) is a vowel, a syllable. |
| sthūlasūkṣmaparasthityā (स्थूलसूक्ष्मपरस्थित्या) | instrumental singular, feminine | by the standing of gross, subtle, and supreme. |
| muktvā (मुक्त्वा) | absolutive | having released. From muc (मुच्). |
| muktvā (मुक्त्वा) | absolutive | having released. Said again. |
| antataḥ (अन्ततः) | adverb in tas (त) | at the end. |
| śivaḥ (शिवः) | nominative singular, masculine | Śiva (शिव). |
The phrases
The accusatives are the sequence one goes through. muktvā muktvā (मुक्त्वा मुक्त्वा) is the absolutive twice: releasing at each standing. śivaḥ (शिवः) is what remains at the end.
Sanskrit in this line
An absolutive in tvā (त्वा) names an act completed before the main claim. Here the main claim is the nominative śivaḥ (शिवः).
Say it back
Say what the twelve are differentiated by, and who stands at the end.
