Stanza 7 >Without one there cannot be many and without many it is not possible to refer to one.
>Therefore one and many arise dependently and such phenomena do not have the sign of inherent existence.
Stanza 3 >What is the reason for this? It is because the inherent existence of all phenomena is not to be found in causes, conditions, aggregations or individualities. Thus all phenomena are devoid of inherent existence
Hey guys I need some help! I’m a 3rd year university student who needs to write a paper on the Nagarjuna concept of emptiness, in particular in relation to the Buddhist concept of Svabhava. I took asian religions as an elective, and while I find the content super interesting I’ve simply been forced to focus on other courses during this final exam season. If anyone could provide a simply summary, or point me to some articles that could explain it better that would be appreciated!
The exact nature of Lorkhan’s sphere is pretty up for debate, just looking at Varieties of Faith will give you ideas like him being the God of Man/the Underworld/the Moon Beast/the Missing God/the Tester God/the Bad Man etc. Some sources (and OOG dev works and comments) also attest to him being the God of Space, which is usually understood as being a sly hint that he and Akatosh are one and the same, since there is no Time or Space, merely four-dimensions of Spacetime.
The Altmer come to this idea:
> One of these, Lorkhan, was more of a limit than a nature, so he could never last long anywhere. - Heart of the World.
In this model Lorkhan is the very last of the Et’Ada, the sum of the things Anu cannot do, the hypothetical idea of ‘The End’ in a place where the end doesn’t exist, because this is before the creation of the Mundus and mortality. And I do believe that Limitation is therefore the best expression of Lorkhan’s sphere, just as Movement is the best expression of Kyne’s sphere.
It is from Limitation that all Lorkhan’s other connotations evolve. Firstly, he gains the concept of Space when he creates the Mundus, a realm which is unlike Aetherius or Oblivion, which appear paradoxically infinite. By creating a world with borders, a centre and fixed dimensions, as opposed to infinity, Limitation becomes manifested as Space, and Lorkhan becomes the God of Space, just as Kyne becomes God of Wind.
As a side note, this idea of Lorkhan’s limitation becoming space is especially interesting if we consider symbolism in the Mundus. Nirn is made of oceans and land masses like Tamriel. Oblivion is often considered and written about as a metaphorical ocean, and Nirn’s actual oceans could be considered to be a sub-gradient of Oblivion as well. (This is especially significant if we consider the Khajiit idea that Herma-Mora controls a city at the bottom of the sea, which is presumably Apocrypha, perhaps implying the bottom of the sea is a gateway to Oblivion.) Now consider this, Shor and shore, pronounced the same, where the shore is the limit of the land, which defines its shape and size and therefore its centre and dimensions (its metaphorical Space) and separates it from the ocean, just as Mundus is separate from Oblivion. Probably a coincidence that Shor and shore are practically identical, but I think it’s neat worldplay.
Now, I want to talk about Sotha-Sil’s ideas of freedom and impr

Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth Prabhu are reportedly headed for a split. In a recent interview with Film Companion South, Naga was quizzed about how he deals with the fact that his personal life was being referenced in reports of late and that if it was “painful” on a personal level. To this, Naga said,
> Initially, yes, it was a little painful. I was like ‘why is entertainment heading this way?’ But after that, what I’ve learned is that in today’s age, news replaces news.
The actor also said he likes to keep his personal and professional life completely separate. He quoted,
> I think from a very early time in my career, I sort of kept my personal life personal and my professional life professional. I never mixed the both. I’ve always had this habit that I learned from my parents as I was growing up, I always noticed once they came home, they never spoke about work. And when they went to work, their personal life was never diluting into work. It was a very nice balance that they maintained, which I always observed.
Naga Chaitanya is the son of Telugu superstar Nagarjuna.
Background:
Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Naga Chaitanya got married in a simple ceremony at Goa in 2017 after dating for years. Rumours about a speculated rift were fanned in July, when Samantha Ruth Prabhu changed her name on her social media accounts, which no longer read her full name – it was changed from Samantha Akkineni to simply the first letter in her name “S.” This followed by speculation about her relationship status with Naga Chaitanya.
The couple does not have any children.
Earlier, in an interview with Film Companion, Samantha said she does not feel the need for clarification about a personal decision. The Family Man 2 actor said,
> The thing is, even with trolling for The Family Man or this, I don’t react to them. That is how I have always been. I don’t react to this kind of noise and I don’t intend on doing so as well.
Speculated Reason Behind Split
As per a report by TOI, Samantha always loved cinema. Born into an ordinary family in Chennai, Sam has gained much recognition through movies. Reportedly, she did not want to give up the glam world even after marriage. She has been doing photoshoots and glamorous roles over and over. But, Naga and his family reportedly did not like the way Sam portraying glamorous roles on the screen. It seems that the family has been in talks with Sam several times to change her mind, however, n

>Others assert that a result exists inherently but not in the nature of its cause so it cannot arise because it is not in the nature of its cause.
>Yet others assert that a result both does and does not exist inherently in its cause; but then they are asserting contradictory views about an object because an object cannot simultaneously both exist and not exist.
>Because phenomena do not arise inherently so also they do not endure or cease inherently.
Stanza 2 > All phenomena must have either self-existence or non-self existence. There is no phenomena which is other than these two, nor are there any expressions which do not come under these two categories. All phenomena which are the subject of this treatise are similar to nirvana because all phenomena are devoid of inherent existence.
