विभागः शतवत्
vibhāgaḥ śatavat
The line
Disjunction, śatavat (शतवत्).
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. asārvatrikī (असार्वत्रिकी) from 3.4.10 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vibhāgaḥ (विभागः) + śatavat (शतवत्)
