1.21
तीव्रसंवेगानामासन्नः
tīvra-saṃvegānām āsannaḥ
The line
For those whose urgency is keen, it is near.
नेपालीमा
जसको संवेग तीव्र छ, तिनीहरूका लागि त्यो नजिक छ।
Where it sits
1.20 listed what precedes the samādhi (समाधि). This line says the distance depends on how keen the urgency is. 1.22 will divide even that keenness.
Split: tīvra (तीव्र) + saṃvegānām (संवेगानाम्) + āsannaḥ (आसन्नः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| tīvra (तीव्र) | stem | keen, intense. |
| saṃvegānām (संवेगानाम्) | genitive plural of saṃvega (संवेग) | of those whose urgency is keen. The ending is the same -ānām (आनाम्) as in 1.19. |
| āsannaḥ (आसन्नः) | nominative singular, masculine | near. The samādhi (समाधि) is near for them. |
The phrases
tīvra-saṃvegānām (तीव्रसंवेगानाम्) is genitive plural: of people whose urgency is keen. āsannaḥ (आसन्नः) is the predicate, nominative, agreeing with the samādhi (समाधि) that has been in force since 1.17. No verb. “For them, it is near.”
Sanskrit in this line
No new ending. Use the genitive plural you learned in 1.19, and hear a nominative predicate beside it: āsannaḥ (आसन्नः), “near.” The genitive is who it is near for. The nominative is what is near.
Say it back
Answer “for whom is it near?” with tīvra-saṃvegānām (तीव्रसंवेगानाम्), ending included.
Next
1.22. Even among them there is a difference: mild, middling, intense.
