4.22
चितेरप्रतिसंक्रमायास् तदाकारापत्तौ स्वबुद्धिसंवेदनम्
citer apratisaṃkramāyās tad-ākārāpattau sva-buddhi-saṃvedanam
The line
Awareness, which does not migrate into another, knows its own intellect when the intellect takes on that form.
नेपालीमा
अर्कोमा नसर्ने चैतन्यले, बुद्धि त्यो रूपमा आएपछि, आफ्नै बुद्धिलाई चिन्छ।
Where it sits
The positive doctrine of how the mind is known. 4.23 will say the mind, colored by both seer and seen, has every object. 4.24 will say that even so, the mind is for the sake of another, because it acts as a compound.
Split: citeḥ (चितेः) + apratisaṃkramāyāḥ (अप्रतिसंक्रमायाः) + tat (तत्) + ākāra (आकार) + āpattau (आपत्तौ) + sva (स्व) + buddhi (बुद्धि) + saṃvedanam (संवेदनम्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| citeḥ (चितेः) | genitive singular of citi (चिति) | of awareness. The power of seeing, not the mind. |
| apratisaṃkramāyāḥ (अप्रतिसंक्रमायाः) | genitive singular, feminine | of that which does not migrate. Awareness does not travel into the mind. The ending agrees with citeḥ (चितेः). |
| tat (तत्) | stem | of that. Of awareness. |
| ākāra (आकार) | stem | form. |
| āpattau (आपत्तौ) | locative singular | when there is the taking on. When the intellect takes on that form. |
| sva (स्व) | stem | its own. |
| buddhi (बुद्धि) | stem | intellect. |
| saṃvedanam (संवेदनम्) | nominative singular, neuter | the knowing. Awareness knows its own intellect. |
The phrases
Awareness, which does not migrate into another, knows its own intellect when the intellect takes on that form. citeḥ (चितेः) and apratisaṃkramāyāḥ (अप्रतिसंक्रमायाः) are both genitive. Before the vowel, citeḥ (चितेः) is recited citer (चितेर्). ākāra (आकार) + āpatti (आपत्ति) is a (अ) + ā (आ) = ā (आ), locative āpattau (आपत्तौ).
The mind takes the form. Awareness does not go anywhere. The knowing of the mind happens because the form is taken, not because awareness travels. This is the answer 4.19–4.21 left standing.
Sanskrit in this line
Genitive feminine -āyāḥ (आयाः) agrees with citeḥ (चितेः). Two genitives, one description: awareness, the non-migrating one. Locative āpattau (आपत्तौ) is the when. Nominative saṃvedanam (संवेदनम्) is the knowing. eḥ (एः) before a vowel is er (एर्): citer apratisaṃkramāyāḥ (चितेरप्रतिसंक्रमायाः).
Say it back
Say what awareness does not do. It does not migrate. Then say when the knowing happens.
