Now, Patañjali defines his use of the word sampad in suutra III 45
Sutra III.46
रूपलावण्यबलवज्रसंहननत्वानि कायसंपत्॥४६॥
rūpa-lāvaṇya-bala-vajra-saṁhananatvāni kāyasaṁpat ॥46॥
[HA]: Perfection Of Body Consists In Beauty, Grace, Strength And Adamantine
Hardness.
This is extremely confusing: at the end, without any sandhi, the word "should"
be sampad, with d in the end. This is probably a rule I can't remember, but
even without sandhi the word whose dictionary form ends in d, here ends in t,
making it homonymous with the word meaning, amongst other things, to fly
together!
So, does P-jali hint that even flying together makes the body perfect!
Food for thought! This seems to be a bit more complicated than I first
thought...
