6.3.18
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.3.18
न देवताग्निशब्दक्रियमन्यार्थसंयोगात्
na devatāgniśabdakriyamanyārthasaṃyogāt
The line
Not because of a compound: a deity, fire, a word, kriya (क्रिय), manyā (मन्या), rtha (र्थ), 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. tan (तन्) from 6.3.17 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) + devatā-agni-śabda-kriya-manyā-rtha-saṃyogāt (देवता-अग्नि-शब्द-क्रिय-मन्या-र्थ-संयोगात्)
