उत्क्रान्तिगत्यागतीनाम्
utkrāntigatyāgatīnām
The line
Of a compound: utkrā (उत्क्रा), ntigatyā (न्तिगत्या), and gone.
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. jño (ज्ञो) from 2.3.19 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
