Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.1.18
क्रत्वन्तरेषु पुनर्वचनम्
kratvantareṣu punarvacanam
The line
In a compound: a rite, and a difference, an interval, saying again.
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. karma-upadeśa-tvāt (कर्म-उपदेश-त्वात्) from 11.1.17 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
