Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.1.42
उत्पत्तौ नित्यसंयोगात्
utpattau nityasaṃyogāt
The line
Arising, the origin, because of a compound: eternal, and conjunction.
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. aṅga-hīnaḥ (अङ्ग-हीनः) from 6.1.41 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
