10.4.48
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.4.48
समानदेवते वा तृचस्याविभागात्
samānadevate vā tṛcasyāvibhāgāt
The line
In a compound: the same, and devata (देवत) or, because of a compound: tṛcasyā (तृचस्या), and disjunction.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. kārya-tvāt (कार्य-त्वात्) from 10.4.47 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: samāna-devate (समान-देवते) + vā (वा) + tṛcasyā-vibhāgāt (तृचस्या-विभागात्)
