etaparamaṁyeva

etad

neuter nominative singular (resolving etaparamaṁyeva; variant reading or contraction)

  1. this
  2. the present thing or state

Analysis. etad (this, near) + param (beyond, further) + aṁ (accusative marker/intensifier) + yeva (indeed, just). The phrase means 'this and nothing beyond it' or 'just this, the ultimate point'; often doctrinal language expressing finality or the absolute limit of something.
