The line
In a compound: a mark, bhūya (भूय), stvā (स्त्वा), and ttaddha (त्तद्ध), in balīyastadapa (बलीयस्तदप).
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. pradānavadeva (प्रदानवदेव) from 3.3.42 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
