4.3.33
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 4 / 4.3.33
न शब्दैकत्वात्
na śabdaikatvāt
The line
Not because of a compound: a word, one, and the state of being that.
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. ubhaya-arthām (उभय-अर्थाम्) from 4.3.32 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) + śabda-eka-tvāt (शब्द-एक-त्वात्)
