The line

Of a compound: a quality, sādhā (साधा), raṇya (रण्य), and heard 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. samāhārāt (समाहारात्) from 3.3.61 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
