11.2.62
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.2.62
समानः कालसामान्यात्
samānaḥ kālasāmānyāt
The line
The same, because of a compound: time, 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. pūrva-smiṃśa (पूर्व-स्मिंश) from 11.2.61 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: samānaḥ (समानः) + kāla-sāmānyāt (काल-सामान्यात्)
