Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.7.24
नोत्पत्तौ हि
notpattau hi
The line
Not arising, the origin.
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. ekasya (एकस्य) from 3.7.23 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
