2.3.39
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.39
यथा च तक्षोभयथा
yathā ca takṣobhayathā
The line
As and, a compound: takṣobha (तक्षोभ), and as.
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. samādhi-abhāvāt (समाधि-अभावात्) from 2.3.38 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: yathā (यथा) + ca (च) + takṣobha-yathā (तक्षोभ-यथा)
