Man at this same time, or any other animal or any thing, viewed as expressing the comprehension of the members, parts, or particulars composing him or it, is an example of samaṣṭi. Briefly--in every totality or whole viewed as the sum of its parts is an example of samaṣṭi; and in every part viewed as co-serving to constitute a whole is an example of vyaṣṭi. See further under vyaṣṭi. Ex. from vivēkasindhu--īśvarōpādhi samaṣṭi jīvōpādhi vyaṣṭi.
