3.5.45
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.5.45
यष्टुर् वा कारणागमात्
yaṣṭur vā kāraṇāgamāt
The line
yaṣṭur (यष्टुर्) or, because of kāraṇāgama (कारणागम).
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. yājyāpanayenāpanīto (याज्यापनयेनापनीतो) from 3.5.44 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: yaṣṭur (यष्टुर्) + vā (वा) + kāraṇāgamāt (कारणागमात्)
