समुच्चयस् तु दोषार्थः
samuccayas tu doṣārthaḥ
The line
A taking together but, a compound: a fault, and a thing, a meaning.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 12. Prasaṅga (प्रसङ्ग), incidental application, and vikalpa (विकल्प), option. The line is short. prāyaścitteṣu (प्रायश्चित्तेषु) from 12.3.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: samuccayaḥ (समुच्चयः) + tu (तु) + doṣa-arthaḥ (दोष-अर्थः)
