Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.6.22
नैकदेशत्वात्
naikadeśatvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: 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. tenotkṛṣṭasya (तेनोत्कृष्टस्य) from 3.6.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
