3.2.13
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.13
अपि चैवमेके
api caivam eke
The line
Even and thus, some.
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. bhedāt (भेदात्) from 3.2.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: api (अपि) + ca (च) + evam (एवम्) + eke (एके)
