12.1.40
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 12 / 12.1.40
न कर्मसंयोगात्
na karmasaṃyogāt
The line
Not because of a compound: action, and conjunction.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. hotuḥ (होतुः) from 12.1.39 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
