3.6.5
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.6.5
न चोदनैकार्थ्यात्
na codanaikārthyāt
The line
Not because of codanaikārthya (चोदनैकार्थ्य).
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. darśanāt (दर्शनात्) from 3.6.4 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
