Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.5

उपसंहारोर्ऽथाभेदाद्विधिशेषवत्समाने च

upasaṃhāror'thābhedādvidhiśeṣavatsamāne ca

The line

In a compound: upasa (उपस), ṃhāro (ंहारो), r'thā (र्ऽथा), bhedā (भेदा), dvidhi (द्विधि), the kind that has a remainder, and the same and.

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. darśayati (दर्शयति) from 3.3.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
