3.4.23
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.4.23
पारिप्लवार्था इति चेन् न विशेषितत्वात्
pāriplavārthā iti cen na viśeṣitatvāt
The line
If you say that pāriplavārtha (पारिप्लवार्थ), no, because of viśeṣitatva (विशेषितत्व).
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. bhāva-śabdāt (भाव-शब्दात्) from 3.4.22 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: pāriplavārthā (पारिप्लवार्था) + iti (इति) + cen (चेन्) + na (न) + viśeṣitatvāt (विशेषितत्वात्)
