2.3.24
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.24
अविरोधश् चन्दनवत्
avirodhaś candanavat
The line
Absence of collision, candanavat (चन्दनवत्).
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. svaśabdonmānābhyāṃ (स्वशब्दोन्मानाभ्यां) from 2.3.23 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
