Ādi 16: The Pastimes of the Lord in His Childhood and Youth
CC Ādi 16.60
‘dvitīya’ śabda — vidheya tāhā paḍila samāse
‘lakṣmīra samatā’ artha karila vināśe
Word for word:
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.
