10.6.28
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.6.28
अन्ते वा कृतकालत्वात्
ante vā kṛtakālatvāt
The line
In at the end or, because of a compound: made, done, time, 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. pṛṣṭhe (पृष्ठे) from 10.6.27 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: ante (अन्ते) + vā (वा) + kṛta-kāla-tvāt (कृत-काल-त्वात्)
