Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.34
उपादानाद् विहारोपदेशाच् च
upādānād vihāropadeśāc ca
The line
Because of the material, because of a compound: vihā (विहा), ropa (रोप), and a place 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. kartā (कर्ता) from 2.3.33 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: upādānāt (उपादानात्) + vihā-ropa-deśāt (विहा-रोप-देशात्) + ca (च)
