3.4.19
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.4.19
अनुष्ठेयं बादरायणस्साम्यश्रुतेः
anuṣṭheyaṃ bādarāyaṇassāmyaśruteḥ
The line
anuṣṭheya (अनुष्ठेय), of a compound: Bādarāyaṇa (बादरायण), ssāmya (स्साम्य), 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. parāmarśaṃ (परामर्शं) from 3.4.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: anuṣṭheyaṃ (अनुष्ठेयं) + bādarāyaṇa-ssāmya-śruteḥ (बादरायण-स्साम्य-श्रुतेः)
