Tattvārtha Sūtra / 5. Ajīva (अजीव) / 5.35
गुणसाम्ये सदृशानाम्
guṇasāmye sadṛśānām
The line
In a compound: a quality, and sameness, agreement, a compound: sadṛśā (सदृशा), and by name, indeed.
Where it sits
In Tattvārtha (तत्त्वार्थ) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. Ajīva (अजीव). What is not soul: the media of motion and rest, space, matter, and time. The line is short. jaghanya-guṇānām (जघन्य-गुणानाम्) from 5.34 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: guṇa-sāmye (गुण-साम्ये) + sadṛśā-nāma (सदृशा-नाम)
