वीप्सेत्थम्भावचिह्ने ऽभिर्भागेनैव परिप्रती / अनुरेषु सहार्थे च हीने ऽनूपश्च कथ्यते
vīpsetthambhāvacihne 'bhirbhāgenaiva paripratī / anureṣu sahārthe ca hīne 'nūpaśca kathyate
在表示反复(vīpsā)以及表示强调或断定的标记中,助词“anu”用作“遍及每一部分/处处”的意思。同样,在后续语境中,凡意在共通之义——乃至有所省略而令其自明——此种用法被教授为“anūpa”。
Lord Vishnu (teaching Garuda/Vinata-putra)
Concept: Śāstra-jñāna through correct linguistic markers (vīpsā, sthambhāva/niścaya-cihna) and the distributive sense of ‘anu’ (throughout, in every part).
Vedantic Theme: Śabda-pramāṇa and disciplined interpretation (arthaniścaya) as a support for right understanding.
Application: Use ‘anu’ to convey distributive/repetitive force (‘throughout/each’) and recognize when shared meaning or ellipsis is intended, to avoid misreading ritual, dharma, or narrative passages.
Primary Rasa: shanta
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.205 (vyākaraṇa/śabdavidyā section): surrounding rules on vibhakti and particles
This verse highlights that repetition can carry a distributive meaning (“each, throughout”), guiding how a reader applies a statement across multiple cases rather than as a single instance.
Indirectly: it provides a grammatical rule used to read other afterlife-related passages correctly, especially where meanings are distributed across stages, realms, or repeated ritual acts.
When studying or reciting Garuda Purana, treat repeated or distributive phrases carefully—many instructions are meant to apply “in each case” or “throughout,” not only once.
