2.1.10
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.1.10
स्वपक्षदोषाच् च
svapakṣadoṣāc ca
The line
Because of a compound: one's own, a side, a thesis, and a fault and.
Where it sits
In Brahma Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Avirodha. The teaching does not collide with reasoning, or with the other systems, in the way an objector claims. The line is short. dṛṣṭānta-bhāvāt (दृष्टान्त-भावात्) from 2.1.9 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sva-pakṣa-doṣāt (स्व-पक्ष-दोषात्) + ca (च)
