10.4.46
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.4.46
न कर्मसंयोगात्
na karmasaṃyogāt
The line
Not because of a compound: action, and conjunction.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. yūpavad (यूपवद्) from 10.4.45 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) + karma-saṃyogāt (कर्म-संयोगात्)
