3.3.11
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.11
आनन्दादयः प्रधानस्य
ānandādayaḥ pradhānasya
The line
ānandādaya (आनन्दादय), of the unmanifest of Sāṅkhya (साङ्ख्य).
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. sarvābhedādanyatreme (सर्वाभेदादन्यत्रेमे) from 3.3.10 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: ānandādayaḥ (आनन्दादयः) + pradhānasya (प्रधानस्य)
