6.1.31
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.1.31
न काम्यत्वात्
na kāmyatvāt
The line
Not because of kāmyatva (काम्यत्व).
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. vaiguṇyān (वैगुण्यान्) from 6.1.30 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) + kāmyatvāt (काम्यत्वात्)
