Mīmāṃsā Sūtra / Adhyāya 6 / 6.7.33
नासामर्थ्यात्
nāsāmarthyāt
The line
Not because of asāmarthya (असामर्थ्य).
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. tadadhikārān (तदधिकारान्) from 6.7.32 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) + asāmarthyāt (असामर्थ्यात्)
