तैजसमपि
taijasam api
The line
A compound: taija (तैज), and an equalizing, a rejoinder that turns an example back even.
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. labdhi-pratyayaṃ (लब्धि-प्रत्ययं) from 2.47 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
