10.6.67
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.6.67
भेदस् तु गुणसंयोगात्
bhedas tu guṇasaṃyogāt
The line
A difference but, because of a compound: a quality, 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. pari-krayā-vibhāgāt (परि-क्रया-विभागात्) from 10.6.66 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: bhedaḥ (भेदः) + tu (तु) + guṇa-saṃyogāt (गुण-संयोगात्)
