10.8.44
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 10 / 10.8.44
विधिं तु बादरायणः
vidhiṃ tu bādarāyaṇaḥ
The line
An injunction but, Bādarāyaṇa (बादरायण).
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 10. Bādha (बाध): when a transferred detail is excluded. The line is short. vihitatvād (विहितत्वाद्) from 10.8.43 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: vidhiṃ (विधिं) + tu (तु) + bādarāyaṇaḥ (बादरायणः)
