अविशेषार्था पुनः श्रुतिः
aviśeṣārthā punaḥ śrutiḥ
The line
A compound: no difference, and a thing, a meaning, again, scripture.
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. prayojana-eka-tvāt (प्रयोजन-एक-त्वात्) from 11.4.6 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: aviśeṣa-arthā (अविशेष-अर्था) + punaḥ (पुनः) + śrutiḥ (श्रुतिः)
