3.3.20
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.20
जाघनी चैकदेशत्वात्
jāghanī caikadeśatvāt
The line
jāghana (जाघन), because of a compound: and, one part, and the state of being that.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 3. Śeṣa (शेष), the subsidiary. How you tell what serves a rite and what the rite serves. The line is short. na-kṛteḥ (न-कृतेः) from 3.3.19 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: jāghanī (जाघनी) + ca-ekadeśa-tvāt (च-एकदेश-त्वात्)
