नेपालीमा
स्थूल, स्वरूप, सूक्ष्म, अन्वय र अर्थवत्त्वमा संयमबाट भूतहरूको वश हुन्छ।
Where it sits
The elements were the makeup of the seen in 2.18. Mastery of them is this five-part saṃyama (संयम). 3.45 and 3.46 list what appears from it: minuteness and the rest, and the perfection of the body.
Split: sthūla (स्थूल) + svarūpa (स्वरूप) + sūkṣma (सूक्ष्म) + anvaya (अन्वय) + arthavattva (अर्थवत्त्व) + saṃyamāt (संयमात्) + bhūta (भूत) + jayaḥ (जयः)

The phrases
From saṃyama (संयम) on five layers of an element, mastery of the elements. The five are gross, essence, subtle, inherence, and purposiveness. sūkṣma (सूक्ष्म) + anvaya (अन्वय) is a (अ) + a (अ) = ā (आ). anvaya (अन्वय) + arthavattva (अर्थवत्त्व) is the same. saṃyamāt (संयमात्) before a voiced bh (भ्) is saṃyamād (संयमाद्).
Five objects, one mastery. 3.47 will repeat the shape for the senses, with grasping and I-sense in place of gross and essence.
Sanskrit in this line
A list of five stems, one ablative on saṃyama (संयम). Count them before you translate, or you will merge inherence and purpose. arthavat (अर्थवत्) means “having a purpose,” and -tva (त्व) names that state.
Say it back
Count the five on your hand. Then say the mastery.
