6.3.8
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.3.8
काम्येषु चैवमर्थित्वात्
kāmyeṣu caivam arthitvāt
The line
In kāmya (काम्य) and thus, because of arthitva (अर्थित्व).
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. prāya-ścitta-vidhānāt (प्राय-श्चित्त-विधानात्) from 6.3.7 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
