Sribhasya 4.4.3

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees

 

Does anyone have the Sanskrit for Sri bhasya? I am looking for the Sanskrit

for a word that appears in a quote from Saunaka in 4.4.3. I am unable to read

my copy of the sloka as it appears in another book. The word in question is

the first word of the second sloka with the question marks in it. Any help

appreciated.

 

Thank you

Gerald Surya

'As by rubbing off the dust from a gem the light is not created in the gem,

but the light which is the inherent attribute of the gem, manifests itself

owing to the removal of the covering dust, similarly the intelligence of the

soul manifests itself when the faults are removed. As by digging the earth,

water comes out of a well, but is not created by the act of digging,

similarly the soul manifests (vyaktimasataH sambhavaH)its intelligence when

the layers of ignorance concealing it are removed; just as the water of the

spring bubbles up when the super-incumbent layers of earth are removed by

digging. In fact when the obscuring faults are destroyed, the innate

qualities of the soul manifest (prakAshyante) themselves; they are not

created (na janyante), because they are the eternal attibutes of the jiva.'"
