3.3.42
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.42
प्रदानवदेव तदुक्तम्
pradānavadeva taduktam
The line
pradānavadeva (प्रदानवदेव), that, what has been said.
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. tanni-rdhā-raṇā-niyama-staddṛṣṭeḥ (तन्नि-र्धा-रणा-नियम-स्तद्दृष्टेः) from 3.3.41 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: pradānavadeva (प्रदानवदेव) + tad (तद्) + uktam (उक्तम्)
