2.2.19
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.19
उत्तरोत्पादे च पूर्वनिरोधात्
uttarotpāde ca pūrvanirodhāt
The line
In a compound: the later, and arising and, because of a compound: the earlier, and stilling.
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. itara-itara-pratyaya-tvāt (इतर-इतर-प्रत्यय-त्वात्) from 2.2.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
