2.3.26
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.26
गुणाद्वा लोकवत्
guṇādvā lokavat
The line
guṇādva (गुणाद्व), as in the world.
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. avasthitivaiśeṣyād (अवस्थितिवैशेष्याद्) from 2.3.25 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: guṇādvā (गुणाद्वा) + lokavat (लोकवत्)
