2.3.22
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.22
नाणुरतच्छ्रुतेरिति चेन् नेतराधिकारात्
nāṇuratacchruter iti cen netarādhikārāt
The line
If you say that nāṇuratacchruter (नाणुरतच्छ्रुतेर्), no, because of a compound: the other, and eligibility.
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. sva-ātman-ā (स्व-आत्मन्-आ) from 2.3.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: nāṇuratacchruter (नाणुरतच्छ्रुतेर्) + iti (इति) + cen (चेन्) + na (न) + itara-adhikārāt (इतर-अधिकारात्)
