The Root Cause of Anartha in Bhakti
Question: What is anartha in the process of bhakti? Answer: The word anartha is a negation of artha. It is a compound word made from nañ and artha, called nañ samāsa. Literally it means “something which is not an artha.” Generally, a negation can mean six things—similar, absence, different, a little, bad, and opposite.
