10.4.14
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.4.14
अधिकं वान्यार्थत्वात्
adhikaṃ vānyārthatvāt
The line
More, because of a compound: or, other, a thing, a meaning, 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. ācchādane (आच्छादने) from 10.4.13 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: adhikaṃ (अधिकं) + vā-anya-artha-tvāt (वा-अन्य-अर्थ-त्वात्)
