Tattvārtha Sūtra / 2. Jīva (जीव) / 2.24
संज्ञिनः समनस्काः
saṃjñinaḥ samanaskāḥ
The line
saṃjñina (संज्ञिन), a compound: an equalizing, a rejoinder that turns an example back, and naska (नस्क).
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Jīva (जीव). The soul, its states, and the kinds of beings. The line is short. kṛimi-pipī-lakā-bhra-mara-manu-ṣyādi-nāma (कृइमि-पिपी-लका-भ्र-मर-मनु-ष्यादि-नाम) from 2.23 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
