2.2.15
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.15
उभयथा च दोषात्
ubhayathā ca doṣāt
The line
A compound: ubha (उभ), and as and, because of a fault.
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. rūpādimattvāc (रूपादिमत्त्वाच्) from 2.2.14 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: ubha-yathā (उभ-यथा) + ca (च) + doṣāt (दोषात्)
