Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.3.25
प्रयोगनिर्देशात् कर्सृभेदवत्
prayoganirdeśāt karsṛbhedavat
The line
Because of a compound: a performance, and a statement of what the rule is, karsṛbhedavat (कर्सृभेदवत्).
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. apra-yoga-aṅgam (अप्र-योग-अङ्गम्) from 11.3.24 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
