The word 'विरलता' itself means 'rarity' or 'sparseness,' and when you add 'से' (se), which often indicates 'by' or 'from,' it transforms into an adverbial phrase meaning 'with rarity' or 'in a sparse way.' This makes it super flexible for describing how an action is performed or how something exists.
