अङ्गेषु यथाश्रयभावः
aṅgeṣu yathāśrayabhāvaḥ
The line
In a limb, a subsidiary part, a compound: as, a seat, a support, and a state.
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. kāmyāstu (काम्यास्तु) from 3.3.58 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: aṅgeṣu (अङ्गेषु) + yathā-āśraya-bhāvaḥ (यथा-आश्रय-भावः)
