2.3.40
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.40
परात् तु तच्छ्रुतेः
parāt tu tacchruteḥ
The line
Because of another, the higher but, of tacchruta (तच्छ्रुत).
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. takṣobha-yathā (तक्षोभ-यथा) from 2.3.39 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: parāt (परात्) + tu (तु) + tacchruteḥ (तच्छ्रुतेः)
