TEXT 60

'dvitīya' śabda--vidheya tāhā paḍila samāse
'lakṣmīra samatā' artha karila vināśe


SYNONYMS

dvitīya śabda—the word dvitīya ("second"); vidheya—the unknown; tāhā—that; paḍila—joined; samāse—in the compound word; lakṣmīra—with Lakṣmī; samatā—equality; artha—meaning; karila—became; vināśe—lost.


TRANSLATION

"Because the word 'dvitīya' ['second'] is the unknown, in its combination in this compound word the intended meaning of equality with Lakṣmī is lost.
