3.3.9
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.9
व्याप्तेश् च समञ्जसम्
vyāpteś ca samañjasam
The line
Of a pervasion and, a compound: an equalizing, a rejoinder that turns an example back, and ñjasa (ञ्जस).
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. saṃjñā-ataḥ (संज्ञा-अतः) from 3.3.8 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vyāpteḥ (व्याप्तेः) + ca (च) + sama-ñjasam (सम-ञ्जसम्)
