3.4.5
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.4.5
समन्वारम्भणात्
samanvārambhaṇāt
The line
Because of a compound: an equalizing, a rejoinder that turns an example back, nvāra (न्वार), and mbhaṇa (म्भण).
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. tacchruteḥ (तच्छ्रुतेः) from 3.4.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
