> The word 'AdAya' is from the root '(du)dA~n dAne', i.e. in the sense of giving. 'A' is the upasarga which changes the meaning into 'taking'; thus 'AdAnam' is taking. The form 'AdAya' is by the addition of 'lyap'  to the root and it means 'having taken, i.e ' gRRhItvA'. this is the literal meaning which the acharya first explains and then gives the figurative meaning as per the context - which is 'having understood, having realized' (the unity of Atman which is ekarasa, homogenous).
