चोदना पुनरारम्भः
codanā punar ārambhaḥ
The line
A Vedic command, again, a making by parts.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Which acts are different acts. The word for an action means the act, and from that the differences among rites are drawn. The line is short. yeṣāṃ (येषां) from 2.1.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: codanā (चोदना) + punar (पुनर्) + ārambhaḥ (आरम्भः)
