4.3.13
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.3.13
न च कार्ये प्रत्यभिसन्धिः
na ca kārye pratyabhisandhiḥ
The line
Not and, in an effect, a compound: toward, against, abhi (अभि), and sandha (सन्ध).
Where it sits
In Brahma Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. Phala. The result. The last line says there is no return. The line is short. darśanāc (दर्शनाच्) from 4.3.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + ca (च) + kārye (कार्ये) + prati-abhi-sandhiḥ (प्रति-अभि-सन्धिः)
