11.2.46
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.2.46
न देशमात्रत्वात्
na deśamātratvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: a place, and mātratva (मात्रत्व).
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. vedi-saṃyogāt (वेदि-संयोगात्) from 11.2.45 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + deśa-mātratvāt (देश-मात्रत्वात्)
