Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I suppose kArma is the vRddhi derivative of karman, meaning 'karmic'. In this compound, I don't think the meaning would differ.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Harry Spier wrote about the difference between kArmamala and karmamaal. Actually there is none; kArma means that which pertains to karma. It is a taddhita- nominal derivative of karma. Thanks Ganesan - Harry Spier indology Friday, September 03, 2004 2:33 AM [Y-Indology] karma- and kArma- Dear list members, Yogaraja in his commentary on the Abhinavagupta's paramArthasAra always writes kArmamala not karmamala for the compound I believe formed from karman + mala . It is a Kashmir Shaivite technical term meaning the limitation an unenlightened being has that he is the experiencer of the fruits of his actions). Also the modern writers on Kashmir Shaivism such as Jaideva Singh and D.B. SenSharma also spell it this way as kArmamala. In the on-line Tantraloka at the GRETIL site it is twice spelled karmamala and twice spelled kArmamala. Monier-williams has karma for karman in compound. Is there any grammatical justification to form the compound of karman + mala as kArmamala or is kArmamala derived differently. Many thanks, Harry Harry Spier 371 Brickman Rd.
