2.2.37
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.37
करणवच् चेन् न भोगादिभ्यः
karaṇavac cen na bhogādibhyaḥ
The line
If you say that karaṇavac (करणवच्), no, for bhogāda (भोगाद).
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. adhiṣṭhānānupapatteś (अधिष्ठानानुपपत्तेश्) from 2.2.36 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: karaṇavac (करणवच्) + cen (चेन्) + na (न) + bhogādibhyaḥ (भोगादिभ्यः)
