Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.3.19
प्रधानापवर्गे वा तदर्थत्वात्
pradhānāpavarge vā tadarthatvāt
The line
In a compound: the unmanifest of Sāṅkhya (साङ्ख्य), and release or, because of because it is for the sake of 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. aṅga-pradhāna-arthaḥ (अङ्ग-प्रधान-अर्थः) from 11.3.18 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: pradhāna-apavarge (प्रधान-अपवर्गे) + vā (वा) + tadarthatvāt (तदर्थत्वात्)
