10.7.73
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.7.73
न चोदनैकत्वात्
na codanaikatvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: a command, one, 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. yathā-śrutīti (यथा-श्रुतीति) from 10.7.72 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) + codanā-eka-tvāt (चोदना-एक-त्वात्)
