4.2.9
Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.2.9
संज्ञाया आदित्वात्
saṃjñāyā āditvāt
The line
saṃjñāya (संज्ञाय), because of a compound: the beginning, and the rest, and the state of being that.
Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. The eternal and the non-eternal. Atoms. The body. The line is short. samākhyā-bhāvācca (समाख्या-भावाच्च) from 4.2.8 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: saṃjñāyā (संज्ञाया) + ādi-tvāt (आदि-त्वात्)
