2.1.25
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.1.25
देवादिवदपि लोके
devādivad api loke
The line
devādivad (देवादिवद्) even, in the world.
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. upasaṃhāra-darśanān (उपसंहार-दर्शनान्) from 2.1.24 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: devādivad (देवादिवद्) + api (अपि) + loke (लोके)
