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 words of this line are the ones to keep. A shorter line after this one may leave them unsaid.
Split: aṃśaḥ (अंशः) + nānā-vyapadeśāt (नाना-व्यपदेशात्) + anyathā (अन्यथा) + ca (च) + api (अपि) + dāśakitavāditvam (दाशकितवादित्वम्) + adhīyata (अधीयत) + eke (एके)
