4.1.6
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.1.6
तथा च लोकभूतेषु
tathā ca lokabhūteṣu
The line
So, in that way and, in a compound: the world, and an element.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 4. What is for the rite, and what is for the person. The line is short. kāraṇā-grahaṇe (कारणा-ग्रहणे) from 4.1.5 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
