नादस्य क्रमजन्मत्वान्न पूर्वो न परश्च स |
अक्रम: क्रमरूपेण भेदवानिव जायते ||
Words can be neither "previous" nor "next" i.e., they are not discrete. Instead they are continuous sequence of spoken-sounds.
आण्ड भावमिवापन्नो य क्रतु शब्दसज्ञक |
वृत्तिस्तस्य क्रियारूपा भागशो भजते क्रमम् ||
The principle of production is speech is as follows: assume speech is single cell egg-like substance that evolves into sequence of its constituents.
विषयत्वमनापन्नै शब्दैनार्थ प्रकाश्यते |
न सत्त्यैव तेअर्थाना अगृहीता प्रकाशका ||
Words themselves do not bear meaning until they are shone (Bhartruhari uses light metaphor) upon the hearer, just like photons don't carry the objects of display unless they are perceived by the observer.
