2.3.51
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 2 / 2.3.51
अभिसन्ध्यादिष्वपि चैवम्
abhisandhyādiṣv api caivam
The line
abhisandhyādiṣv (अभिसन्ध्यादिष्व्) even and thus.
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. adṛṣṭa-aniyamāt (अदृष्ट-अनियमात्) from 2.3.50 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: abhisandhyādiṣv (अभिसन्ध्यादिष्व्) + api (अपि) + ca (च) + evam (एवम्)
