तदव्यक्तमाह हि
tadavyaktamāha hi
The line
tadavyaktamāha (तदव्यक्तमाह).
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. prakṛtaitāvattvaṃ (प्रकृतैतावत्त्वं) from 3.2.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tadavyaktamāha (तदव्यक्तमाह) + hi (हि)
