2.48
ततो द्वन्द्वानभिघातः
tato dvandvānabhighātaḥ
The line
From that, one is not struck by the pairs of opposites.
नेपालीमा
त्यसबाट विरोधी जोडीले हान्दैन।
Where it sits
The fruit of posture. Not a feat of flexibility. Not being knocked about by the pairs. Breath regulation begins at 2.49, and it assumes this seat.
Split: tataḥ (ततः) + dvandva (द्वन्द्व) + anabhighātaḥ (अनभिघातः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| tataḥ (ततः) | indeclinable | from that. From the posture of 2.46 and 2.47. |
| dvandva (द्वन्द्व) | stem | the pairs of opposites. Heat and cold, and the rest. |
| anabhighātaḥ (अनभिघातः) | nominative singular, masculine | not being struck. an- (अन्) plus abhighāta (अभिघात), “a blow.” |
The phrases
From that, one is not struck by the pairs. dvandva (द्वन्द्व) + anabhighāta (अनभिघात) is a (अ) + a (अ) = ā (आ), recited dvandvānabhighātaḥ (द्वन्द्वानभिघातः). tataḥ (ततः) stands before a voiced consonant and would be tato (ततो) if the next sound were voiced and the visarga were kept in play; the text writes tato (ततो) before dvandva (द्वन्द्व). aḥ (अः) before a voiced consonant is o (ओ).
Sanskrit in this line
aḥ (अः) before a voiced consonant is o (ओ): tataḥ dvandva (ततः द्वन्द्व) is tato dvandva (ततो द्वन्द्व). You have heard this since viparyayo (विपर्ययो) in 1.8. anabhighāta (अनभिघात) is the privative an- (अन्) before a vowel.
Say it back
Say the fruit without adding a posture the line does not name.
Next
2.49. That being in place, breath regulation is cutting the movement of inhalation and exhalation.
