3.6.45
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.6.45
बचनात् तु समुच्चयः
bacanāt tu samuccayaḥ
The line
Because of bacana (बचन) but, a taking together.
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. dviruktatvāt (द्विरुक्तत्वात्) from 3.6.44 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: bacanāt (बचनात्) + tu (तु) + samuccayaḥ (समुच्चयः)
