Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.2.33
स्थानविशेषात्प्रकाशादिवत्
sthānaviśeṣātprakāśādivat
The line
A compound: the place, the order, viśe (विशे), ṣātpra (षात्प्र), kāśā (काशा), and divata (दिवत).
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. buddhi-arthaḥ (बुद्धि-अर्थः) from 3.2.32 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sthāna-viśe-ṣātpra-kāśā-divata (स्थान-विशे-षात्प्र-काशा-दिवत)
