The line

A compound: both, vyapa (व्यप), deśā (देशा), ttva (त्त्व), hiku (हिकु), and ṇḍalavata (ण्डलवत).

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. anantena (अनन्तेन) from 3.2.25 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
