Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.5.2
अपनयो वा विद्यानत्वात्
apanayo vā vidyānatvāt
The line
apanaya (अपनय) or, because of a compound: knowing, not, and the state of being that.
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. abhyudaye (अभ्युदये) from 6.5.1 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: apanayo (अपनयो) + vā (वा) + vidyā-na-tvāt (विद्या-न-त्वात्)
