See also aparasparasaṃbhūta.
in an uninterrupted series. (The verse of the Bhagavadgītā
(16. 8.) where this word occurs: ‘asatyamapratiṣṭhaṃ te jagadāhu-
ranīśvaram . aparasparasaṃbhūtaṃ kimanyatkāmahaitukam .’ is to be
rendered, in my opinion, thus: ‘they (the men of demoniac
nature) affirm that the world is devoid of truth, of stability
and without a Lord (a creator): but does there exist any thing
else, that is produced by (or in) an uninterrupted series, and
yet is the effect of arbitrariness?’; the uninterrupted series
being that of causes and effects according to the Sāṅkhya-
Yoga doctrine of the successive developement of the world.)
E. aparaspara and sambhūta.
