Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.4.18
परामर्शं जैमिनिरचोदनाच्चापवदति हि

The line
parāmarśa (परामर्श), in a compound: Jaimini, raco (रचो), danā (दना), ccāpa (च्चाप), and vadata (वदत).
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. ūrdhva-retassu (ऊर्ध्व-रेतस्सु) from 3.4.17 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: parāmarśaṃ (परामर्शं) + jaimini-raco-danā-ccāpa-vadati (जैमिनि-रचो-दना-च्चाप-वदति) + hi (हि)
