11.4.35

Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.4.35

न कालभेदात्

na kālabhedāt

The line

Not because of a difference of time.

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. sakṛd (सकृद्) from 11.4.34 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) + kālabhedāt (कालभेदात्)

The phrases

na (न) is not. It stands as indeclinable.

kālabhedāt (कालभेदात्) is a difference of time. It stands as ablative singular.

Sanskrit in this line

kālabhedāt (कालभेदात्) is ablative singular. That ending is the work an English preposition would do.

Say it back

Cover the English. Gloss kālabhedāt (कालभेदात्).

Next

11.4.36. Because of a compound: pakti (पक्ति), and a difference, of kumbhīśūlavapāśraraṇa (कुम्भीशूलवपाश्ररण), a difference, it would be, let it be granted.
