3.3.49
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.49
न सामान्यादप्युपलब्धेर्मृत्युवन्न हि लोकापत्तिः
na sāmānyādapyupalabdhermṛtyuvanna hi lokāpattiḥ
The line
Not sāmānyādapyupalabdhermṛtyuvanna (सामान्यादप्युपलब्धेर्मृत्युवन्न). lokāpatta (लोकापत्त).
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. anubandhādibhyaḥ (अनुबन्धादिभ्यः) from 3.3.48 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + sāmānyādapyupalabdhermṛtyuvanna (सामान्यादप्युपलब्धेर्मृत्युवन्न) + hi (हि) + lokāpattiḥ (लोकापत्तिः)
