अचोदकाश् च संस्काराः
acodakāś ca saṃskārāḥ
The line
Not the transferring rule and, a compounded thing.
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. dravya-saṃyogāt (द्रव्य-संयोगात्) from 2.2.17 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
