3.3.12
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.12
प्रियशिरस्त्वाद्यप्राप्तिरुपचयापचयौ हि भेदे
priyaśirastvādyaprāptirupacayāpacayau hi bhede
The line
A compound: dear, śira (शिर), stvā (स्त्वा), dyaprā (द्यप्रा), ptiru (प्तिरु), paca (पच), yāpa (याप), and caya (चय). In a difference.
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. ānandādayaḥ (आनन्दादयः) from 3.3.11 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
