Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.2.28
नैष्कर्तृकेण संस्तवाच् च
naiṣkartṛkeṇa saṃstavāc ca
The line
Not by means of eṣkartṛka (एष्कर्तृक), because of saṃstava (संस्तव) and.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. sanivanyeva (सनिवन्येव) from 10.2.27 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) + eṣkartṛkeṇa (एष्कर्तृकेण) + saṃstavāc (संस्तवाच्) + ca (च)
