Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.4.10
पवमानहविःष्वैकतन्त्र्य प्रयोगवचनैकत्वात्
pavamānahaviḥṣvaikatantrya prayogavacanaikatvāt
The line
A compound: pava (पव), a measure, a means of knowing, havi (हवि), ḥṣva (ःष्व), ikata (इकत), and ntrya (न्त्र्य), because of a compound: a performance, a statement, one, 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. kratu-arthāyām (क्रतु-अर्थायाम्) from 11.4.9 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
