3.7.35
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.7.35
न सर्वेषामधिकारः
na sarveṣām adhikāraḥ
The line
Not of of all, eligibility.
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. pakṣeṇa (पक्षेण) from 3.7.34 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: na (न) + sarveṣām (सर्वेषाम्) + adhikāraḥ (अधिकारः)
