कर्ता शास्त्रार्थवत्त्वात्
kartā śāstrārthavattvāt
The line
An agent, because of a compound: a teaching, a treatise, a thing, a meaning, possessing, and the state of being that.
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. nitya-upalabdhi-anupalabdhi-prasaṅgo (नित्य-उपलब्धि-अनुपलब्धि-प्रसङ्गो) from 2.3.32 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
