Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.2.20
पुरुषापनयात् स्वकालत्वम्
puruṣāpanayāt svakālatvam
The line
Because of a compound: puru (पुरु), ṣāpa (षाप), and a standpoint, a compound: one's own, time, 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. puru-ṣāpa-nayaḥ (पुरु-षाप-नयः) from 10.2.19 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
