Note 136 — SA@NKARA'S INTRODUCTION (continued 2)

Footnote 136:

(return)

The clause 'he is to meditate with a calm mind' if taken as a gunavidhi, i.e. as enjoining some secondary matter, viz. calmness of mind of the meditating person, cannot at the same time enjoin meditation; for that would involve a so-called split of the sentence (vâkyabheda).
