[172] **"And in that I delight" (tañcāhaṃ abhinandāmi):** "That" (taṃ) — your utterance, your pathway of speech (byapatha), your exposition (desanā), your connected sequence (anusandhi). "I delight" (abhinandāmi): I delight in it, I rejoice in it, I am gladdened by it, I approve of it, I wish for it, I relish it, I ask for it, I aspire to it, I long for it, I yearn for it — thus, "and in that I delight."
