Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 5 / 5.2.13

नानाबीजेष्वेकमुलूखलं विभवात्

nānābījeṣvekamulūkhalaṃ vibhavāt

The line

Not anābījeṣvekamulūkhala (अनाबीजेष्वेकमुलूखल), because of passing away.

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. mantrasya (मन्त्रस्य) from 5.2.12 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
