Where it sits
A name for the inner three used together. 3.5 is the fruit of mastering it. 3.6 says it is applied stage by stage, not all at once on everything.
Split: trayam (त्रयम्) + ekatra (एकत्र) + saṃyamaḥ (संयमः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| trayam (त्रयम्) | nominative singular, neuter | the three. Holding, meditation, samādhi (समाधि). |
| ekatra (एकत्र) | indeclinable | on one thing. In one place. |
| saṃyamaḥ (संयमः) | nominative singular, masculine | saṃyama (संयम). The three practiced as one. |
The phrases
The three, on one object, are saṃyama (संयम). trayam (त्रयम्) is neuter, saṃyamaḥ (संयमः) is masculine. ekatra (एकत्र) is “in one place,” the -tra (त्र) adverb you met in itaratra (इतरत्र) and tatra (तत्र).
From here to 3.55, saṃyama (संयम) is the practice the powers come from. The word will often be omitted and only the ablative saṃyamāt (संयमात्), “from saṃyama (संयम),” will remain.
Sanskrit in this line
-tra (त्र) makes an adverb of place: eka-tra (एकत्र), “in one.” You know it from tatra (तत्र) and itaratra (इतरत्र). saṃyama (संयम) is saṃ- (सं) plus yama (यम), a holding-together. It is not a ninth limb. It is the last three as one act.
Say it back
Say the three and the condition ekatra (एकत्र). Without one object, the name does not apply.
