11.1.68
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.1.68
भेदस् तु कालभेदाच् चोदनाव्यवायात् स्याद् विशिष्टानां विधिः प्रधानकालत्वात्
bhedas tu kālabhedāc codanāvyavāyāt syād viśiṣṭānāṃ vidhiḥ pradhānakālatvāt
The line
A difference but, because of a difference of time, because of a compound: a command, and vyavāya (व्यवाय), it would be. syāt (स्यात्) before a voiced sound, of viśiṣṭa (विशिष्ट), an injunction, because of a compound: the unmanifest of Sāṅkhya (साङ्ख्य), time, 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 words of this line are the ones to keep. A shorter line after this one may leave them unsaid.
