7.2.2
Vaiśeṣika Sūtra / Adhyāya 7 / 7.2.2
तथा पृथक्त्वम्
tathā pṛthaktvam
The line
So, in that way, separately, you.
Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 7. The qualities, taken up again: number, measure, conjunction, and the rest. The line is short. rupa-rasa-gandha-sparśa-vyati-rekā-darthā-ntara-mekatvam (रुप-रस-गन्ध-स्पर्श-व्यति-रेका-दर्था-न्तर-मेकत्वम्) from 7.2.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tathā (तथा) + pṛthak (पृथक्) + tvam (त्वम्)
