liṅgāc cānityaḥ |
liṇgāt—from its mark; ca—and; anityaḥ—non-eternal; śabdaḥ—Sound.
32. Sound is non-eternal, also because of its mark.
The meaning is that Sound, consisting of letters (i.e., articulate Sound), is non-eternal, because, while possessing a ‘class,’ it is capable of being perceived by the ear, like the Sound of a lute, etc.—32.
