11.2.55
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.2.55
न चोदनैकवाक्यत्वात्
na codanaikavākyatvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: a command, 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. pañcaśāradīyās (पञ्चशारदीयास्) from 11.2.54 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
