3.4.47
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.4.47
कृत्स्नभावात् तु गृहिणोपसंहारः
kṛtsnabhāvāt tu gṛhiṇopasaṃhāraḥ
The line
Because of a compound: kṛtsna (कृत्स्न), and a state but, gṛhiṇopasaṃhāra (गृहिणोपसंहार).
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. saha-kārya-ntara-vidhiḥ (सह-कार्य-न्तर-विधिः) from 3.4.46 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: kṛtsna-bhāvāt (कृत्स्न-भावात्) + tu (तु) + gṛhiṇopasaṃhāraḥ (गृहिणोपसंहारः)
