Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 5 / 5.1.10
नाकृतत्वात्
nākṛtatvāt
The line
Not because of akṛtatva (अकृतत्व).
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 5. Order. Sequence is fixed by the order of the words, and by other rules when the words do not decide. The line is short. sarvam (सर्वम्) from 5.1.9 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) + akṛtatvāt (अकृतत्वात्)
