न तत्सम्बन्धात्
na tatsambandhāt
The line
Not because of a compound: that, and a connection.
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. kāla-utkarṣaḥ (काल-उत्कर्षः) from 5.1.21 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
