11.3.51
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.3.51
न श्रुतिप्रतिषेधात्
na śrutipratiṣedhāt
The line
Not because of a compound: scripture, and a denial.
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. prakṛti-kālā-satteḥ (प्रकृति-काला-सत्तेः) from 11.3.50 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) + śruti-pratiṣedhāt (श्रुति-प्रतिषेधात्)
