2.2.9
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.2.9
विप्रतिषेधाच् चासमञ्जसम्
vipratiṣedhāc cāsamañjasam
The line
Because of a conflict between two rules, a compound: cāsa (चास), mañja (मञ्ज), and an equalizing, a rejoinder that turns an example back.
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. abhyupagame (अभ्युपगमे) from 2.2.8 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vipratiṣedhāt (विप्रतिषेधात्) + cāsa-mañja-sama (चास-मञ्ज-सम)
