Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
अथ च सैकतासंस्काररहितं सहमसाधनं केशवदैवज्ञगणेशदैवज्ञतोऽतिप्राचीनेन हरिभट्टेनैव कृतमित्यवगम्यते यतस्तस्मात् प्राचीनैर्वामनादिभिः सैकतासंस्कार उक्तोस्ति अत एव ज्ञायते गणेशदैवज्ञकेशवदैवज्ञादिभिराधुनिकैर्हरिभट्टमतेनैव सैकतासंस्काररहितं सहमसाधनं कृतमस्ति ॥ तत्र हरिभट्टस्य सहमसाधनज्ञानलेशोपि नास्ति ॥
Hari Bhatta is much older than Keshava Daivajna and Ganesha Daivajna. It is understood that Hari Bhatta himself made the method of finding a sahama (special point for one life topic) without the added sign. This is because Vamana and others, older than him, state the step of adding one sign. So it is known that the newer writers followed Hari Bhatta's view. These are Ganesha Daivajna, Keshava Daivajna and others. They made the method of finding a sahama without that step. Hari Bhatta has not even a trace of knowledge of finding sahamas.
Simple meaning: Hari Bhatta dropped the added sign first, and later writers copied him. Balabhadra says Hari Bhatta did not know how to find sahamas.
यतस्तेन ताजिकसारे ॥ पुण्यं स्याद्दिवसेर्कतो हिमरुचिः शोध्यः क्षपायां रविश्चंद्राल्लग्नसमन्वितमित्यादिना सकलसहमशिरोमणेः पुण्यसहमस्य साधनं समरसिंहवाक्याज्ञानाद्यथा अन्यथैवोक्तम् ॥ तथैव सैकतासंस्कारोपि नोक्तमित्यलमतिक्लिष्टेन समरसिंहवाक्यविचारविस्तरेण विरम्यते॥
Punya point in Hari Bhatta's Tajikasara: Balabhadra says it is stated wrongly, from not knowing Samarasimha. He ends the argument here.
स्वगुरोर्मतविद्वेषी अलं च मतखंडने॥
Balabhadra's resolve: whoever argues against his teacher's view, no one can stop his effort.
अथावशेषसहमानां साधनं संज्ञातंत्रे ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 3.6; see its meaning there.
