ग्राह्यग्राहकसंवित्तिः सामान्या सर्वदेहिनाम् ।
योगिनां तु विशेषोऽस्ति सम्बन्धे सावधानता grāhyagrāhakasaṃvittiḥ sāmānyā sarvadehinām |
yogināṃ tu viśeṣo 'sti sambandhe sāvadhānatā
The line
Awareness of the grasped and the grasper is common to all embodied beings. Of yogins (योगिन्स्), though, there is a distinction: in the relation, attentiveness.
नेपालीमा
ग्राह्य र ग्राहकको संवित्ति सबै देहधारीको साझा हो। योगीको भेद चाहिँ सम्बन्धमा सावधान हुनु हो।
Where it sits
The electronic text prints a broken character before sti (स्ति). The line is viśeṣo 'sti (विशेषोऽस्ति), there is a distinction. The distinction is not a different world. It is attentiveness in the relation.
Split: grāhyagrāhakasaṃvittiḥ (ग्राह्यग्राहकसंवित्तिः) + sāmānyā (सामान्या) + sarvadehinām (सर्वदेहिनाम्) + yoginām (योगिनाम्) + tu (तु) + viśeṣaḥ (विशेषः) + asti (अस्ति) + sambandhe (सम्बन्धे) + sāvadhānatā (सावधानता)
