2.3.41
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.41
कृतप्रयत्नापेक्षस् तु विहितप्रतिषिद्धावैयर्थ्यादिभ्यः
kṛtaprayatnāpekṣas tu vihitapratiṣiddhāvaiyarthyādibhyaḥ
The line
A compound: made, done, praya (प्रय), and tnāpekṣa (त्नापेक्ष) but, for a compound: vihita (विहित), toward, against, ṣiddhā (षिद्धा), vaiya (वैय), and rthyāda (र्थ्याद).
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. parāt (परात्) from 2.3.40 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: kṛta-praya-tnāpekṣaḥ (कृत-प्रय-त्नापेक्षः) + tu (तु) + vihita-prati-ṣiddhā-vaiya-rthyādibhyaḥ (विहित-प्रति-षिद्धा-वैय-र्थ्यादिभ्यः)
