3.3.19
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.19
समान एवं चाभेदात्
samāna evaṃ cābhedāt
The line
The same thus, because of cābheda (चाभेद).
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. kāryā-khyā-nāda-pūrvam (कार्या-ख्या-नाद-पूर्वम्) from 3.3.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: samāna (समान) + evaṃ (एवं) + cābhedāt (चाभेदात्)

The phrases
samāna (समान) is the same. It stands as the stem, as the line writes it. evaṃ (एवं) is in this way. It stands as indeclinable.
cābhedāt (चाभेदात्) is cābheda (चाभेद). It stands as ablative singular.
Sanskrit in this line
cābhedāt (चाभेदात्) is ablative singular. That ending is the work an English preposition would do.
