2.2.26
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.26
उदासीनानामपि चैवं सिद्धिः
udāsīnānām api caivaṃ siddhiḥ
The line
A compound: udāsīnā (उदासीना), and by name, indeed even and thus, establishment.
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. asato (असतो) from 2.2.25 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: udāsīnā-nāma (उदासीना-नाम) + api (अपि) + ca (च) + evaṃ (एवं) + siddhiḥ (सिद्धिः)
