Taimni's English translation of the suutra what I think number 12 in my set is based on, has almost 30 words (articles not counted as separate words), whereas my Finnish "practical" version of that suutra has only five words. The original Sanskrit suutra, which I think is this one: sattva-puruSayor atyanta+asaMkiirNayoH pratyaya+avisheSo bhogaH para+arthaat sva+artha-saMyamaat puruSa-jñaanam. ... has something like 14 words, counting the components of compound words as individual words.
