3.3.37
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.37
सैव हि सत्यादयः
saiva hi satyādayaḥ
The line
He, that. saḥ (सः) before a consonant just. satyādaya (सत्यादय).
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. vyatihāro (व्यतिहारो) from 3.3.36 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sa (स) + eva (एव) + hi (हि) + satyādayaḥ (सत्यादयः)
