10.1.7

Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.1.7

न वाङ्गभूतत्वात्

na vāṅgabhūtatvāt

The line

Not because of a compound: or, a limb, a subsidiary part, and being already there.

Where it sits

In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. tasyāṃ (तस्यां) from 10.1.6 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) + vā-aṅga-bhūtatvāt (वा-अङ्ग-भूतत्वात्)
