12.1.5
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 12 / 12.1.5
एकेषां वाशक्यत्वात्
ekeṣāṃ vāśakyatvāt
The line
Of ekeṣa (एकेष), because of vāśakyatva (वाशक्यत्व).
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. vikārāt (विकारात्) from 12.1.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: ekeṣāṃ (एकेषां) + vāśakyatvāt (वाशक्यत्वात्)
