COMMENTS:

  • Notice that the parser treats three terms as passive past participles in clause A.1 (all composed from 'nirgata:[one who is] freed'), with the comments mentioning the Subject as 'Link_sub_InferredSubj'.
    • The parser assumes that the inferred Subect is the elided term 'NOM-S:tvam:you' (the 2nd Person Singular verb 'bhava:II-S:be' has the implied Subject 'you').
    • However, one could argue that the Subject should be a different inferred Subject 'the one' i.e. ' [you] be [the one] who is freed from ...'. [MM2015][1] does not explicitly describe these terms as participles, but assumes this is the case in the translation.
    • On a different reading (which is the usual way of reading passive past participles), we could have 'freed from desires ... you be.'
    • There is also the semantic possibility of two chronologically different 'yous' i.e. 'the [present] you' vs. 'the [transformed] you'.
  • Clearly, there are some difficult semantic issues here that are well beyond the capabilities of a syntactic parser.
