10.1.37
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.1.37
न द्व्यर्थत्वात्
na dvyarthatvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: two, a thing, a meaning, and the state of being that.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. odano (ओदनो) from 10.1.36 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) + dvi-artha-tvāt (द्वि-अर्थ-त्वात्)
