3.2.10
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.10
मुग्धेर्ऽधसंपत्तिः परिशेषात्
mugdher'dhasaṃpattiḥ pariśeṣāt
The line
mugdher'dhasaṃpatta (मुग्धेर्ऽधसंपत्त), because of a compound: pari (परि), and the rest, what remains over.
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. sa (स) from 3.2.9 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: mugdher'dhasaṃpattiḥ (मुग्धेर्ऽधसंपत्तिः) + pari-śeṣāt (परि-शेषात्)
