10.3.24
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.3.24
अभ्यासात् तु प्रधानस्य
abhyāsāt tu pradhānasya
The line
Because of practice but, of the unmanifest of Sāṅkhya (साङ्ख्य).
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. ṣaḍbhir (षड्भिर्) from 10.3.23 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: abhyāsāt (अभ्यासात्) + tu (तु) + pradhānasya (प्रधानस्य)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| abhyāsāt (अभ्यासात्) | ablative singular | practice |
| tu (तु) | indeclinable | but, and now |
| pradhānasya (प्रधानस्य) | genitive singular | the unmanifest of Sāṅkhya (साङ्ख्य) |
The phrases
abhyāsāt (अभ्यासात्) is practice. It stands as ablative singular. tu (तु) is but, and now. It stands as indeclinable.
pradhānasya (प्रधानस्य) is the unmanifest of Sāṅkhya (साङ्ख्य). It stands as genitive singular.
Sanskrit in this line
pradhānasya (प्रधानस्य) is genitive singular. That ending is the work an English preposition would do.
Say it back
Cover the English. Gloss abhyāsāt (अभ्यासात्) and pradhānasya (प्रधानस्य).
