3.1.11
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.11
सुकृतदुष्कृते एवेति तु बादरिः
sukṛtaduṣkṛte eveti tu bādariḥ
The line
In sukṛtaduṣkṛta (सुकृतदुष्कृत) just thus but, bādara (बादर).
Where it sits
In Brahma Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. Sādhana (साधन). The means: who is fit, what is meditated on, and the soul's path. The line is short. ānarthakyam (आनर्थक्यम्) from 3.1.10 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sukṛtaduṣkṛte (सुकृतदुष्कृते) + eva (एव) + iti (इति) + tu (तु) + bādariḥ (बादरिः)
