11.2.52
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.2.52
वाक्यैकत्वे क्रतुसामान्यात्
vākyaikatve kratusāmānyāt
The line
In a compound: a sentence, one, and the state of being that, because of a compound: a rite, and a common case.
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. saṃskāra-pratiṣedhaḥ (संस्कार-प्रतिषेधः) from 11.2.51 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
