11.3.28
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.3.28
न प्रयोगसाधारण्यात्
na prayogasādhāraṇyāt
The line
Not because of a compound: a performance, sādhā (साधा), and raṇya (रण्य).
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. agni-vada (अग्नि-वद) from 11.3.27 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + prayoga-sādhā-raṇyāt (प्रयोग-साधा-रण्यात्)
