3.1.12
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.12
अनिष्टादिकारिणामपि च श्रुतम्
aniṣṭādikāriṇām api ca śrutam
The line
Of aniṣṭādikāriṇa (अनिष्टादिकारिण) even and, heard.
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. sukṛtaduṣkṛte (सुकृतदुष्कृते) from 3.1.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: aniṣṭādikāriṇām (अनिष्टादिकारिणाम्) + api (अपि) + ca (च) + śrutam (श्रुतम्)
