10.5.13
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.5.13
प्राप्तिस् तु रात्रिशब्दसम्बन्धात्
prāptis tu rātriśabdasambandhāt
The line
What already follows but, because of a compound: rātri (रात्रि), a word, and a connection.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. codanāsu (चोदनासु) from 10.5.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: prāptiḥ (प्राप्तिः) + tu (तु) + rātri-śabda-sambandhāt (रात्रि-शब्द-सम्बन्धात्)
