4.32
ततः कृतार्थानां परिणामक्रमसमाप्तिर् गुणानाम्
tataḥ kṛtārthānāṃ pariṇāma-krama-samāptir guṇānām
The line
From that, the guṇas (गुण), their purpose fulfilled, come to the end of the sequence of change.
नेपालीमा
त्यसबाट प्रयोजन पूरा भएका गुणहरू परिणामको क्रमको अन्त्यमा पुग्छन्।
Where it sits
4.33 will define sequence, so the “end of the sequence” is not a vague phrase. 4.34 will name the resolving of the guṇas (गुण), empty of any purpose for puruṣa (पुरुष), as aloneness. Or, the other wording, the power of awareness established in its own form.
Split: tataḥ (ततः) + kṛtārthānām (कृतार्थानाम्) + pariṇāma (परिणाम) + krama (क्रम) + samāptiḥ (समाप्तिः) + guṇānām (गुणानाम्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| tataḥ (ततः) | indeclinable | from that. |
| kṛtārthānām (कृतार्थानाम्) | genitive plural | of those whose purpose is fulfilled. The guṇas (गुण), done with their work. |
| pariṇāma (परिणाम) | stem | transformation. |
| krama (क्रम) | stem | the sequence. |
| samāptiḥ (समाप्तिः) | nominative singular, feminine | the end, the completion. |
| guṇānām (गुणानाम्) | genitive plural | of the guṇas (गुण). In apposition with the first genitive. |
The phrases
From that, the guṇas (गुण), their purpose fulfilled, come to the end of the sequence of change. samāptiḥ (समाप्तिः) is the nominative. Both genitives are the guṇas (गुण): those whose purpose is done, the guṇas (गुण). kṛtārtha (कृतार्थ) is the same compound as 2.22, the one for whom the purpose is fulfilled. Here it is said of the guṇas (गुण).
The seen existed for the seer, 2.21. When that purpose is done, the guṇas (गुण)' changes have nothing left to sequence toward.
Sanskrit in this line
Two genitive plurals for one group, a noun said twice in different words. samāptiḥ (समाप्तिः) is feminine nominative, “completion.” krama (क्रम) is the sequence of 3.15. The end of a sequence is what 4.33 will make precise.
Say it back
Say whose sequence ends. The guṇas (गुण), purpose fulfilled.

4.33. Sequence is what stands over against the moment, and it is grasped at the far end of a change.
