11.1.30
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.1.30
सकृद् वा कारणैकत्वात्
sakṛd vā kāraṇaikatvāt
The line
Once. sakṛt (सकृत्) before a voiced sound or, because of a compound: a cause, one, 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. kratu-vaca (क्रतु-वच) from 11.1.29 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: sakṛd (सकृद्) + vā (वा) + kāraṇa-eka-tvāt (कारण-एक-त्वात्)
