12.2.21

Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 12 / 12.2.21

सकृदारम्भसंयोगात्

sakṛd ārambhasaṃyogāt

The line

Once. sakṛt (सकृत्) before a voiced sound, because of a compound: a making by parts, 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. ārambha-ṇīyā (आरम्भ-णीया) from 12.2.20 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).

Split: sakṛd (सकृद्) + ārambha-saṃyogāt (आरम्भ-संयोगात्)
