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. viśeṣitatvāc (विशेषितत्वाच्) from 4.3.7 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sāmīpyāt (सामीप्यात्) + tu (तु) + tad-vyapadeśaḥ (तद्-व्यपदेशः)
