कान र आकाशको सम्बन्धमा संयमबाट दिव्य सुनाइ हुन्छ।
Where it sits
Relation is the object, not the ear alone. 3.42 will do the same with body and space, and add a second means. The pattern “saṃyama (संयम) on the relation of X and Y” starts here.
Split: śrotra (श्रोत्र) + ākāśayoḥ (आकाशयोः) + saṃbandha (संबन्ध) + saṃyamāt (संयमात्) + divyam (दिव्यम्) + śrotram (श्रोत्रम्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| śrotra (श्रोत्र) | stem | the ear. |
| ākāśayoḥ (आकाशयोः) | genitive dual | of ear and space. The dual ending covers both. |
| saṃbandha (संबन्ध) | stem | the relation. |
| saṃyamāt (संयमात्) | ablative singular | from saṃyama (संयम) on the relation. |
| divyam (दिव्यम्) | nominative singular, neuter | divine. Not ordinary. |
| śrotram (श्रोत्रम्) | nominative singular, neuter | hearing. |
The phrases
From saṃyama (संयम) on the relation of ear and space, divine hearing. śrotra (श्रोत्र) + ākāśa (आकाश) is a (अ) + ā (आ) = ā (आ). The genitive dual is the two things related. saṃyamāt (संयमात्) before d (द्) is saṃyamād (संयमाद्), t (त्) before a voiced consonant. divyam śrotram (दिव्यम् श्रोत्रम्) agrees, both neuter.
Sanskrit in this line
Dual genitive -yoḥ (योः) for the two terms of a relation. a (अ) + ā (आ) = ā (आ) joins ear and space. Neuter agreement on divyam śrotram (दिव्यम् श्रोत्रम्). Three old tools, one line.
Say it back
Say what the saṃyama (संयम) is on. The relation, not the ear by itself.
