11.4.5
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 11 / 11.4.5
नोपदिष्टत्वात्
nopadiṣṭatvāt
The line
Not because of upadiṣṭatva (उपदिष्टत्व).
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. aniyamaḥ (अनियमः) from 11.4.4 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) + upadiṣṭatvāt (उपदिष्टत्वात्)
