3.1.2
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.1.2
त्र्यात्मकत्वात् तु भूयस्त्वात्
tryātmakatvāt tu bhūyastvāt
The line
Because of tryātmakatva (त्र्यात्मकत्व) but, because of bhūyastva (भूयस्त्व).
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. tada-ntara-prati-pattau (तद-न्तर-प्रति-पत्तौ) from 3.1.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tryātmakatvāt (त्र्यात्मकत्वात्) + tu (तु) + bhūyastvāt (भूयस्त्वात्)
