1.18
विरामप्रत्ययाभ्यासपूर्वः संस्कारशेषोऽन्यः
virāma-pratyayābhyāsa-pūrvaḥ saṃskāra-śeṣo 'nyaḥ
The line
The other follows practice of cessation, and only latent impressions remain.
नेपालीमा
अर्को विरामको अभ्यासबाट आउँछ, र दबिएका संस्कार मात्र बाँकी रहन्छन्।
Where it sits
anyaḥ (अन्यः), “the other,” picks up saṃprajñātaḥ (संप्रज्ञातः) from 1.17 and names its pair. From here, cognitive and the other are the two. 1.19 and 1.20 will say who comes to the other by which route.
Split: virāma (विराम) + pratyaya (प्रत्यय) + abhyāsa (अभ्यास) + pūrvaḥ (पूर्वः) + saṃskāra (संस्कार) + śeṣaḥ (शेषः) + anyaḥ (अन्यः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| virāma (विराम) | stem | cessation. The stopping of the activities. |
| pratyaya (प्रत्यय) | stem | the idea, the presenting of that cessation. |
| abhyāsa (अभ्यास) | stem | practice. The same word as in 1.13. |
| pūrvaḥ (पूर्वः) | nominative singular, masculine | having that before it. The other samādhi (समाधि) is preceded by this practice. |
| saṃskāra (संस्कार) | stem | a latent impression. What practice leaves behind when the activity itself has stopped. |
| śeṣaḥ (शेषः) | nominative singular, masculine | a remainder. Only the impressions are left. |
| anyaḥ (अन्यः) | nominative singular, masculine | the other one. The samādhi (समाधि) that is not saṃprajñāta (संप्रज्ञात). |
The phrases
virāma-pratyayābhyāsa-pūrvaḥ (विरामप्रत्ययाभ्यासपूर्वः) describes anyaḥ (अन्यः). Read from the end: preceded by practice, and the practice is of the idea of cessation. pūrva (पूर्व) here does not mean “earlier in the book.” It means “this is what comes first, and the samādhi (समाधि) follows it.”
saṃskāra-śeṣaḥ (संस्कारशेषः) is the second description, joined by being another nominative. A remainder, and the remainder is impressions. śeṣaḥ (शेषः) before anyaḥ (अन्यः) is recited śeṣo 'nyaḥ (शेषोऽन्यः): aḥ (अः) plus a (अ) becomes o (ओ), and the dropped a (अ) is marked by ऽ.
Sanskrit in this line
Two things to keep. A compound ending in pūrva (पूर्व) describes something as having X before it, without repeating the noun. And aḥ (अः) before a (अ) becomes o (ओ), with avagraha: śeṣaḥ anyaḥ (शेषः अन्यः) is said śeṣo 'nyaḥ (शेषोऽन्यः). You met the avagraha at 1.3 and 1.13.
Say it back
Say anyaḥ (अन्यः) and what is left when it arrives: saṃskāra-śeṣaḥ (संस्कारशेषः). Then the practice that precedes it.

1.19. For the bodiless, and for those dissolved into prakṛti, it comes from becoming.
