Patañjali Yoga Sūtra 3.14
शान्तोदिताव्यपदेश्यधर्मानुपाती धर्मी ||14||
The property-bearer (dharmī | nom sg) conforms to past, present, and still indeterminate [future] properties (śāntoditāvyapadeśya-dharmānupātī | nom sg m).
States come and go. Sense the continuity (dharmin) connecting past, present, and still-emerging experience.
According to the Vyāsa-Bhāṣya, the dharmin is the continuous bearer of quiescent, arisen, and as yet indeterminate properties. The commentary defends this continuity against a doctrine of momentary properties alone: without a persisting bearer, neither karmic experience, memory, nor recognition of an object could be explained.
add. tatra PM2026 ante śāntoditāvyapadeśyadharmānupātī
The additional tatra in PM2026 explicitly links the definition of the substrate to the preceding discussion. It changes little in the doctrine but makes the transition syntactically clearer. PE1904 remains unchanged as the selected base text.
A Dharmī is that which follows upon (or has) the properties in the shape of Śānta (tranquil), udita (risen) and avyapaddṣya (incapable of denomination).
The subject is that which is correlated to the properties of tranquility, activity, and latency (indescribability).
Hierbei ist der Beschaffenheitsträger der beruhigten, der erhabenen und der unaussprechlichen Beschaffenheit entsprechend.
A substance conforms itself to quiescent and uprisen and indeterminable external-aspects.
