3.37
ते समाधावुपसर्गा व्युत्थाने सिद्धयः
te samādhāv upasargā vyutthāne siddhayaḥ
The line
Those are obstacles in samādhi (समाधि), and powers in the outward state.
नेपालीमा
ती समाधिमा विघ्न हुन्, र बाहिरी अवस्थामा सिद्धि हुन्।
Where it sits
The warning, placed in the middle of the catalogue rather than after it, so the remaining powers are read under this sentence. 3.38 continues the catalogue anyway. The book describes what appears. 3.37 tells you what it is.
Split: te (ते) + samādhau (समाधौ) + upasargāḥ (उपसर्गाः) + vyutthāne (व्युत्थाने) + siddhayaḥ (सिद्धयः)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| te (ते) | nominative plural | those. The five just born, and by extension the powers. |
| samādhau (समाधौ) | locative singular | in samādhi (समाधि). |
| upasargāḥ (उपसर्गाः) | nominative plural | obstacles. Things that fall upon the practice and hinder it. |
| vyutthāne (व्युत्थाने) | locative singular | in the outward state. When the mind is turned out. |
| siddhayaḥ (सिद्धयः) | nominative plural | powers. Accomplishments. |
The phrases
Those are obstacles in samādhi (समाधि), and powers in the outward state. Two locatives, two nominative plurals. The same things, two evaluations. upasargāḥ (उपसर्गाः) before the voiced v (व्) is recited upasargā (उपसर्गा), the visarga dropped or changed. The text shows upasargā vyutthāne (उपसर्गा व्युत्थाने).
This is the sentence to put next to every power from 3.16 on. In the outward state they are powers. In samādhi (समाधि) they are obstacles. The stilling of 1.2 is not served by collecting them.
Sanskrit in this line
Two locatives doing the work of “in.” samādhau (समाधौ) is locative of samādhi (समाधि), an i-stem, -au (औ), the ending of sthitau (स्थितौ). vyutthāne (व्युत्थाने) is locative of an a-stem, -e (ए). Same relation, two shapes. The nominatives say what those things are, in each place.
Say it back
Say the sentence as a rule you can apply to any later power. In samādhi (समाधि), obstacle. Outward, power.
