3.3.63
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.63
न वा तत्सहभावाश्रुतेः
na vā tatsahabhāvāśruteḥ
The line
Not or, of a compound: tatsa (तत्स), habhāvā (हभावा), and heard.
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. guṇa-sādhā-raṇya-śruteḥ (गुण-साधा-रण्य-श्रुतेः) from 3.3.62 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) + vā (वा) + tatsa-habhāvā-śruteḥ (तत्स-हभावा-श्रुतेः)
