11.1.17
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.1.17
तथा कर्मोपदेशत्वात्
tathā karmopadeśatvāt
The line
So, in that way, because of a compound: action, teaching, and the state of being that.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 11. One performance serving many purposes, and when the acts stay separate. The line is short. vidheḥ (विधेः) from 11.1.16 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: tathā (तथा) + karma-upadeśa-tvāt (कर्म-उपदेश-त्वात्)
