3.3.7
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.3.7
न सर्वस्मिन् निवेशात्
na sarvasmin niveśāt
The line
Not a compound: all, and smina (स्मिन), because of niveśa (निवेश).
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. vyakti-krame (व्यक्ति-क्रमे) from 3.3.6 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) + sarva-smina (सर्व-स्मिन) + niveśāt (निवेशात्)
