6.1.14
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.1.14
अर्थेन च समवेतत्वात्
arthena ca samavetatvāt
The line
In in the thing, in the meaning, not and, because of a compound: an equalizing, a rejoinder that turns an example back, and vetatva (वेतत्व).
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 6. Who may perform. Eligibility, and the way substances are tied to an act. The line is short. phalo-tsāhā-viśeṣāt (फलो-त्साहा-विशेषात्) from 6.1.13 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: arthe (अर्थे) + na (न) + ca (च) + sama-vetatvāt (सम-वेतत्वात्)
