Sankhya in Sanskrit contains the anuswara symbol that is a nasal sound confirmed by the Pratisakhya. Hence correct your anglicised spelling of Samkhya to Sankhya as it is the correct form.

The first Sutra in the Sankhyakarika has been mistranslated as aresult of which the entire set of the sebsequent Sutras were given an incorrect meaning.

The Dynamic Substratum:

दुःख त्रय अभिघाताज् जिज्ञासा तद् अभिघातके हेतोI   | दृष्टे सा अपार्था चेन्न ऐकान्त अत्यन्त अतो अभावात् || १ ||

दुःख    त्रय      अभिघाताज्     जिज्ञासा Du:kha traya   abhighātāj   jijñāsā Stress triple  interaction  investigations

तद्   अभिघातके            हेतो thad abhighātake        hetho Such interactive-modes  exist

ष्टे       सा    अपार्था                         चेन्न drishte sā    apārthā      		    chenna Detect  such  would have been meaningless  were it not for the

ऐकान्त        अत्यन्त      अतो       अभावात्  १ aikāntha     atyantha   atho      abhāvāth Synchronised perpetual  Dynamic   Un-manifest state. 1.

Meaning: Investigating the triad of interactive stresses shows that such interactive modes of stresses exist but it would not have been  detectable, had it not been for the existence of the synchronised - perpetual - dynamic - unmanifest state  of existence (of the substratum).

Note: This Sutra forms the foundation of Sankhya because the interactive stage in three modes could exist only because the medium has the three characteristics that make it unmanifest.

But Goudapada's version translated the first sutra sa given below:

"THIS INQUIRY IS INTO THE MEANS OF PRECLUDING THE THREE SORTS OF PAIN; FOR PAIN IS EMBARRASSMENT: NOR IS THE INQUIRY SUPERFLUOUS BECAUSE OBVIOUS MEANS OF ALLEVIATION EXIST, FOR ABSOLUTE AND FINAL RELIEF IS NOT THEREBY ACCOMPLISHED."

The entire approach has been to convey his view of nature rather that that given by Maharishi Kapilla.
