6.5.44
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.5.44
प्रातस् तु षोडशिनि
prātas tu ṣoḍaśini
The line
prātas (प्रात) but, in ṣoḍaśina (षोडशिन).
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. prati-homaḥ (प्रति-होमः) from 6.5.43 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: prātas (प्रात) + tu (तु) + ṣoḍaśini (षोडशिनि)
