3.4.24
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.4.24
तथा चैकवाक्योपबन्धात्
tathā caikavākyopabandhāt
The line
So, in that way, because of a compound: caika (चैक), vākyopa (वाक्योप), and bondage.
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. pāriplavārthā (पारिप्लवार्था) from 3.4.23 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tathā (तथा) + caika-vākyopa-bandhāt (चैक-वाक्योप-बन्धात्)
