12.1.44
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 12 / 12.1.44
नान्यार्थत्वात्
nānyārthatvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: other, a thing, a meaning, and the state of being that.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. sannahanaharaṇe (सन्नहनहरणे) from 12.1.43 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) + anya-artha-tvāt (अन्य-अर्थ-त्वात्)
