Kena Upanishad: Verse 4.5
अथाध्यात्मं यदेतद्गच्छतीव च मनोऽनेन चैतदुपस्मरत्यभीक्ष्णं सङ्कल्पः ॥५॥
अथ । अध्यात्मम् । यत् । एतत् । गच्छति-इव । च । मनः । अनेन । च । एतत् । उपस्मरति । अभीक्ष्णम् । सङ्कल्पः ॥५॥
athādhyātmaṃ yad etad gacchatīva ca mano ’nena caitad upasmaraty abhīkṣṇaṃ saṅkalpaḥ ||5||
ഇപ്പോൾ അധ്യാത്മ നിലയിൽ: ഏതുകൊണ്ടോ മനസ് വിഷയങ്ങളിലേക്കു പോകുന്നതുപോലെ തോന്നുന്നു, അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ ഇത് വീണ്ടും വീണ്ടും ഇതിനെ ഓർക്കുന്നു—അതേ സംകല്പം, ഇച്ഛാ-നിശ്ചയം.
Now, with reference to the self (adhyātma): that by which the mind, as it were, goes (toward objects), and by which it repeatedly remembers this—(that) is the volition/intent (saṅkalpa).
- मनोऽनेन = मनः + अनेन (विसर्ग-लोप, अवग्रह)
- चैतद् = च + एतद् (स्वर-सन्धि)
- उपस्मरत्यभीक्ष्णम् = उपस्मरति + अभीक्ष्णम् (इकार-लोप/यण्-प्रवृत्ति लेख्यरूपेण)
- अथाध्यात्मम् = अथ + अध्यात्मम् (स्वर-सन्धि)
