The line
By means of svaśabdonmāna (स्वशब्दोन्मान) and.
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. nāṇuratacchruter (नाणुरतच्छ्रुतेर्) from 2.3.22 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
