2.1.6
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.1.6
दृश्यते तु
dṛśyate tu
The line
Is seen but.
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. abhimāni-vyapadeśaḥ (अभिमानि-व्यपदेशः) from 2.1.5 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: dṛśyate (दृश्यते) + tu (तु)
