Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.6.22
न वा कल्पविरोधात्
na vā kalpavirodhāt
The line
Not or, because of a compound: kalpa (कल्प), and a clash.
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. gārhapate (गार्हपते) from 6.6.21 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) + vā (वा) + kalpa-virodhāt (कल्प-विरोधात्)
