Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.30
परमतस्सेतून्मानसंबन्धभेदव्यपदेशेभ्यः

The line
For a compound: the highest, tasse (तस्से), tūnmā (तून्मा), nasa (नस), ṃbandha (ंबन्ध), a difference, and a designation.
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. pratiṣedhāt (प्रतिषेधात्) from 3.2.29 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
