4.4.4
Brahma Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.4.4
अविभागेन दृष्टत्वात्
avibhāgena dṛṣṭatvāt
The line
By means of avibhāga (अविभाग), because of a compound: seen, and the state of being that.
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. ātmā (आत्मा) from 4.4.3 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: avibhāgena (अविभागेन) + dṛṣṭa-tvāt (दृष्ट-त्वात्)
