11.3.31
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.3.31
नाशिष्टत्वादितरन्यायत्वाच् च
nāśiṣṭatvād itaranyāyatvāc ca
The line
Not because of aśiṣṭatva (अशिष्टत्व), because of a compound: the other, the rule, the right way, and the state of being that and.
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. dhi (धि) from 11.3.30 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) + aśiṣṭatvād (अशिष्टत्वाद्) + itara-nyāya-tvāt (इतर-न्याय-त्वात्) + ca (च)
