2.2.3

Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.3

व्यतिरेकानवस्थितेश् चानपेक्षत्वात्

vyatirekānavasthiteś cānapekṣatvāt

The line

Of a compound: vyati (व्यति), rekā (रेका), nava (नव), and standing, remaining, because of cānapekṣatva (चानपेक्षत्व).

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. payo (पयो) from 2.2.2 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
