10.3.17
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.3.17
पूर्वस्मिंश् चामन्त्रत्वदर्शनात्
pūrvasmiṃś cāmantratvadarśanāt
The line
A compound: the earlier, and smiṃśa (स्मिंश), because of a compound: cāma (चाम), ntratva (न्त्रत्व), and seeing.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. vidhi-atideśāt (विधि-अतिदेशात्) from 10.3.16 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: pūrva-smiṃśa (पूर्व-स्मिंश) + cāma-ntratva-darśanāt (चाम-न्त्रत्व-दर्शनात्)
