The line
Because of a compound: experience, mātra (मात्र), sameness, agreement, and a mark and.
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. darśayataḥ (दर्शयतः) from 4.4.20 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: bhoga-mātra-sāmya-liṅgāt (भोग-मात्र-साम्य-लिङ्गात्) + ca (च)
