11.3.39
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.3.39
न शास्त्रलक्षणत्वात्
na śāstralakṣaṇatvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: a teaching, a treatise, a mark, and the state of being 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. yo (यो) from 11.3.38 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) + śāstra-lakṣaṇa-tvāt (शास्त्र-लक्षण-त्वात्)
