The line
Because of a compound: vedhā (वेधा), dyartha (द्यर्थ), and 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. puruṣa-vidyā-yāmapi (पुरुष-विद्या-यामपि) from 3.3.24 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
