Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.2.47
एकवाक्यत्वात्
ekavākyatvāt
The line
Because of a compound: one, a sentence, 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. deśa-mātratvāt (देश-मात्रत्वात्) from 11.2.46 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
