11.2.65
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.2.65
प्रतिपत्तिरिति चेन्न कर्मसंयोगात्
pratipattir iti cenna karmasaṃyogāt
The line
If you say that an understanding, no, because of a compound: action, and conjunction.
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. apanayo (अपनयो) from 11.2.64 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: pratipattiḥ (प्रतिपत्तिः) + iti (इति) + cen (चेन्) + na (न) + karma-saṃyogāt (कर्म-संयोगात्)
