Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.32
अनियमस्सर्वेषामविरोधश्शब्दानुमानाभ्याम्
aniyamassarveṣāmavirodhaśśabdānumānābhyām
The line
By means of a compound: the absence of a fixed rule, ssarve (स्सर्वे), ṣāma (षाम), a clash, śśabdānu (श्शब्दानु), and a measure, a means of knowing.
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. yāvadadhikāram (यावदधिकारम्) from 3.3.31 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
