3.3.47
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.47
श्रुत्यादिबलीयस्त्वाच् च न बाधः
śrutyādibalīyastvāc ca na bādhaḥ
The line
Because of a compound: scripture, ādiba (आदिब), līya (लीय), and stva (स्त्व) and, not a blocking.
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. vidyā-eva (विद्या-एव) from 3.3.46 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: śruti-ādiba-līya-stvāt (श्रुति-आदिब-लीय-स्त्वात्) + ca (च) + na (न) + bādhaḥ (बाधः)
