2.1.21

Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.1.21

इतरव्यपदेशाद् धिताकरणादिदोषप्रसक्तिः

itaravyapadeśād dhitākaraṇādidoṣaprasaktiḥ

The line

Because of a compound: the other, and a designation, a compound: dhitā (धिता), kara (कर), ṇādi (णादि), a fault, and forced as a consequence.

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. prāṇādiḥ (प्राणादिः) from 2.1.20 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).

Split: itara-vyapadeśāt (इतर-व्यपदेशात्) + dhitā-kara-ṇādi-doṣa-prasaktiḥ (धिता-कर-णादि-दोष-प्रसक्तिः)
