Respected scholars Namaskar!

What is the meaning of Vyasta samasta vikalpa? Thank you. NRJOSHI

[Dr.BVK Sastry(G-MAIL)]

Namaste

 

1.   Word split brining out the  components and   upasargas:      Vyasta ( --  vi + asta) ;         Samasta ( sam – asta)  ; Vikalpa ( vi + kalpa)

 

2. Explaining ‘ asta’ with the root ‘ as’ and related Affix Krutdanta ; Explaining ‘kalpa’  as root ‘ klup’ ( ?) and Krudanta affix.

 

3. Overall meaning : Vyasta     -    Samasta ::   Studying the given entity in its  component, elemental levels  and assembled, gestalt holistic  unified integrated integral level. 

      That is a directive for  Total study on drawing board.  (= Jijnyaasaa)

 

4. Vikalpa – means alternative propositions, options, constructs and choices.  This is ‘What if’s’ and Why so’ , What needs to be done to achieve an end result…… analytics as ‘ Conceptualization, Modeling, Rule application and operation, limitation….  That is a directive for  Total  Measure- Model –Systems – Utility Application-Analytics in the laboratory. ( = Meemaamsaa). 

 

    This is what Dr. Yadu has highlighted many times. This is also called ‘ VINIYOGA- VIDHI’. This is NOT LIMITED TO ‘DO’s and DON’T’s, Like This and Not-Like this in ritual. It applies to every field. 

 

    The entirety of Bharateeya Samskruthi is based on this ‘Vyasata-Samasta – Vikalpas’  as ‘ Yoga- Anushaasana – Viniyoga’. 

     This   ‘Samskruth term’  is badly translated as ‘ restrictive Controls in culture and communities, killing the freedom of  individual’ !  and murdered the ‘ Yoga essence’.

 

5. When so many alternatives and options emerge,  the way to personalize and customize the choices needs a directive for filtering, prioritizing.  This is Yoga- Anushaasana. 

 

 

6. All the above are expressed in one Samskruth term :  Vyasta –Samasta- Vikalpa’.

Better to give the context where the phrase occurs, to get the precise meaning intended.

Namaste,

That explanation is really good. One needs to understand the parts, and how thw whole works and the alternative. 

But couldn't relate to the yoga that has been written. 

Regards,

Shriram.

What is the meaning of Vyasta samasta vikalpa? 

                                                                                    ---Vidvan NRJOSHI  

विकल्पः = द्वैविध्यम् (dichotomy )

व्यासः x समासः 

राज्ञः पुरुषः - is a व्यस्तप्रयोगः -- राजपुरुषः - is a समस्तप्रयोगः ।

पतञ्जलि under several सूत्रs  explains - स्वभावतः there will be वृत्तिपक्ष and अवृत्तिपक्ष ।  पाणिनि for the sake of

analysis made महाविभाषाधिकार ( विभाषापपरिबहिरञ्चवः  पञ्चम्या , पा 2-1-11, ’ विभाषा ’ इति योगविभागः and the same is called महाविभाषाधिकार ) । It runs into all four वृत्तिs -- कृत् - तद्धित - समास - सनाद्यन्तधातु - so the the

qualifier - महत् ।

So all समासs ( except some नित्यसमासs) are विकल्प -- there will be वाक्यम् -- राज्ञः पुरुषः and in the same sense

समासवृत्ति -- राजपुरुषः ।

विग्रहवाक्यम् is also like वाक्यम्  - वाक्यम् is used whereas विग्रहवाक्यम् is only for analysis in शास्त्रम् ।

नित्यसमास is either without विग्रह or with अस्वपदविग्रह ।

If the words are shown separately it is व्यास whereas a combined form of the same words as a single

word is समास ।

व्यस्त is the usage wherein the words are shown in the form of a वाक्यम् and समस्त is the one wherein

the same words are shown as a single word .

व्यासः -- वेदव्यासः

समासः -- समासेनैव कौन्तेय ! ( भगवद्गीता , 18-50 ) -- सङ्ग्रहेणैव इत्यर्थः ।

Elsewhere , the term विकल्प is employed in other sense also --

शब्दज्ञानानुपाती वस्तुशून्यो विकल्पः ( योगानुशासनम् , 1-9 )

शब्दं ज्ञानं च अनुपतति इति श्ब्दज्ञानानुपाती -- ’ सुप्यजातौ णिनिस्ताच्छील्ये ’ पा 3-2-78 . किन्तु वस्तुशून्यः ---

गगनकुसुमम् , वन्ध्यापुत्रः - इत्यादि  विकल्पः।

धन्यो’स्मि
