8 | 1 | सत्यात् नास्ति परो धर्मः । | सत्यान् नास्ति परो धर्मः । [satyān nāsti paro dharmaḥ] | Corrected the Sanskrit according to the rules of Sanskrit grammar; added romanized Sanskrit beneath Devanagari text. This phrase comes originally from the Mahābhārata (1:69:24, 12.156:24, 12.329:11) where the sentence reads “nāsti satyāt paro dharmaḥ”; when the terms are rearranged we get “satyāt nāsti paraḥ dharmaḥ” without applying sandhi rules; after the application of sandhi rules, the sentence reads “satyān nāsti paro dharmaḥ.” | sanskritdictionary.com sanskrit.inria.fr sanskritdictionary.com sanskrit.inria.fr sanskritdictionary.com sanskrit.inria.fr sanskritdictionary.com sanskrit.inria.fr gretil.sub.uni-goettingen.de incarnateword.in | |||||||||||||||||||||

14 | 1 | ix | Dhyan Chohans | Dhyāni-Chohans | This is a compound term unique to modern theosophy. The first part is the Sanskrit “dhyānin,” here changed to proper IAST Sanskrit (ध्यानिन्); the second part appears to be a compound of two Tibetan terms (ཆོས and མཁན), in Wylie transliteration “chos” and “mkhan” and in THL Simplified Phonetic Transcription “chö” and “khen.” As the latter terms are not verified, and debate still exists as to the etymology of the theosophical term “chohan,” we have chosen to leave the spelling as is. | sanskritdictionary.com sanskritdictionary.com theosophy.wiki wiktionary.org wiktionary.org theosophy.wiki (see “Cho-Khan”) | ||||||||||||||||||||

For unknown reasons, this term was given as “Layu” rather than “Laya.” On page 32 in the Stanzas themselves it is given as “Laya,” but then as “Layu” in the commentary portion. Whenever discussed by Blavatsky, this term is always given as “Laya” (the Sanskrit term), whether in The Secret Doctrine or elsewhere. | universaltheosophy.com sanskritdictionary.com sanskrit.inria.fr | ||||||||||||||||||||
