1.1.12
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 1 / 1.1.12
समं तु तत्र दर्शनम्
samaṃ tu tatra darśanam
The line
But the seeing in that case is the same for both views.
नेपालीमा
तर त्यो बेला देखिएको कुरा दुवै मतमा उही हो।
Where it sits
Tatra points to the seeing after effort in 1.1.6. Darśana (दर्शन), which the objector used as proof of a product, is now an observation shared with the other view. The word is still the subject.
Split: samam (समम्) + tu (तु) + tatra (तत्र) + darśanam (दर्शनम्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| samam (समम्) | nominative singular, neuter | the same, common to both sides |
| tu (तु) | indeclinable | but, turning the side |
| tatra (तत्र) | indeclinable | there, in that seeing after effort |
| darśanam (दर्शनम्) | nominative singular, neuter | the seeing |
The phrases
Tu turns the discussion. The seeing that comes after effort was the objector's first reason.
That seeing is the same for both accounts. If the word can be shown to last, the effort will be what manifests it, not what makes it. An observation that fits both views does not decide for the product.
Sanskrit in this line
Samam is neuter, agreeing with darśanam (दर्शनम्). Tu is the particle that opens the reply. The reply runs from here through 1.1.23.
Say it back
Say that being heard after effort does not by itself prove the word was made.

1.1.13. An existing word can go unheard when the manifesting conditions do not arrive.
