6.6.20
Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.6.20
न स्वामित्वं हि विधीयते
na svāmitvaṃ hi vidhīyate
The line
Not svāmitva (स्वामित्व). Is enjoined.
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. vacanād (वचनाद्) from 6.6.19 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) + svāmitvaṃ (स्वामित्वं) + hi (हि) + vidhīyate (विधीयते)
