11.1.56
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.1.56
तथा चान्यार्थदर्शनं कामुकायनः
tathā cānyārthadarśanaṃ kāmukāyanaḥ
The line
So, in that way, and the seeing of another meaning, a compound: kāmu (कामु), a body, and naḥa (नःअ).
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. ekārthyād (एकार्थ्याद्) from 11.1.55 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) + cānyārthadarśanaṃ (चान्यार्थदर्शनं) + kāmu-kāya-naḥa (कामु-काय-नःअ)
