Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 3 / 3.8.41
न्यायोक्ते लिङ्गदर्शनम्
nyāyokte liṅgadarśanam
The line
In a compound: the rule, the right way, and what has been said, a compound: a mark, and seeing.
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. sarveṣāṃ (सर्वेषां) from 3.8.40 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
