3.3.38
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.38
न पक्तिनामत्वात्
na paktināmatvāt
The line
Not a compound: pakti (पक्ति), by name, indeed, and tvāta (त्वात).
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. carāv (चराव्) from 3.3.37 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + pakti-nāma-tvāta (पक्ति-नाम-त्वात)
