2.3.19
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.19
ज्ञोऽत एव
jño 'ta eva
The line
jño (ज्ञो), therefore, from this just.
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. ātmā (आत्मा) from 2.3.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: jño (ज्ञो) + ataḥ (अतः) + eva (एव)
