3.3.13
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.13
इतरे त्वर्थसामान्यात्
itare tvarthasāmānyāt
The line
In the other, because of a compound: but, a thing, a meaning, and a common case.
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. priya-śira-stvā-dyaprā-ptiru-paca-yāpa-cayau (प्रिय-शिर-स्त्वा-द्यप्रा-प्तिरु-पच-याप-चयौ) from 3.3.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: itare (इतरे) + tu-artha-sāmānyāt (तु-अर्थ-सामान्यात्)
